Redgate is very defensible. It is the best location to house them until we push the Seelie back to Glaschu. I would like you to send scouts out to watch for Seelie movement east of Daonna and to protect the road so refugees can reach your city safely.

As for myself? I lead from the front lines, Saralegui. I always have and I always will.

Of course. This isn't the first war I've experienced, you know. I'm grateful for your advice, Your Majesty, but have a little faith. I know what I'm doing.

[It's really only because he likes you that the response is as gentle as that. The Brucolac has said it before: Saralegui tends to take advice as insult.]

I don't expect you to hide where it's safe. But I do hope you'll be rational about what you can and can't handle.

Is it so wrong to state what I would like? I could certainly go into great depths as to what I would do in this situation if Redgate were my city, but I am not. [She gave a bit of a huff at the end of it, but her tone wasn't upset in the slightest.]

And rationality has little to do with things, Saralegui. I am a heroic spirit - a legendary king - and a hero fights for what they believe in with everything they have. Whether we can 'handle it' or not. Rest assured; I bear the Sword of Promised Victory. Defeat is unacceptable.

It's good to be confident. But don't forget that other worlds don't necessarily play by the same rules as your own. What always worked back home might not be so dependable against the obstacles faced here.

[He's speaking from personal experience, dude.]

I know. And though I am not at full strength here - my sword is not complete - I must have confidence.

Anything less will carry over into the men.
