Redsand Canyon sententia

Tierra definitely wasn't expecting that. She'd been prepared for him to brush her off and to act like it was no big deal as a result of it, as per usual. She wasn't going to get all mad or anything, though she wasn't going to pretend she didn't have opinions either. Instead he kind of agreed, which was pretty cool, actually.

Yeah. Okay. No problem. She lost a bit of her disaffected front, and was clearly pretty pleased he'd thanked her, though she wasn't about to write home about it or anything.

I'm always down to make anything a competition! Obviously. I'm just going to have to make it totally obvious how much cooler a choice I am. Don't worry, Imperator, I've got it handled.

She gave him a salute, honestly a pretty formal one (if it weren't for the grin) and then waited at attention. If there wasn't anything else, she'd whirl away as soon as she was dismissed. She had a recruit to train!
