Surprised by her outburst a deep, rumbling chuckle worked it's way from his throat. Of the likes he had not given in some time. And his eyes danced merrily for a brief moment. Though it was quickly hidden again, though mirth still danced about his maw.

He frowned in thought. Though from a standpoint of a soldier and a former commander I can understand where the slight came from. Not that I agree with it, but in many cases all a soldier specifically a leader has is his word. It is a means of honor, and if Imperator gave his word to your leaders that Lady Aquene could go, then it was with dishonorable ways she was kept behind. Though they must remember that it is Lady Aquene's body, mind, soul etc that matters here and this is what she wanted.
