A situation arises...

<< < (2/39) > >>

Lance Stargazer:
**As Daniella aproaches Lance, he smiles at her with a kind and yet tired smile*  I'll be glad to fill you a bit later sister, And will be looking to it once my duty is over, now if you excuse me, I am being awaited.

**He without more words gets inside the tent*

Dezza:
Within seconds of Daniella's sharp voice cutting across the commotion both sides fall back. Many red faces are apparent on both sides, some from anger and others from embarrassment at the lapse in discipline.

Officers from both sides salute Daniella as she moves between them.

Lieutenant 2nd Toranite Cavalry Bain Alrid spoke first, "Commander, it was a minor incident that was taken out of context by the Siphe Garra and things degenerated from there. One of my men, Cavalryman Odgen knows Toranite Marion MacMurray, now of the Ninth Rank. He went over to talk to her and she told him to return to his own camp. Some of the Ninth rank Siphe Garra assumed he was hastling her and confronted him. A scuffle ensued Commander as his friends came to extract him from the Ninth."

Fourth Rank, Kreager, who had stood at attention the entire time the lieutenant had spoken added. "Lady Commander, I concur with the Lieutenant but wish to add that the Toranite in question became hostile when asked to leave and some of the Ninth were offering to escort him back to his own camp so he would reach there unharmed. As they attempted to do so his comrades came racing up bearing arms."

The entire camp had come to a standstill it seemed, soldiers and servants on both sides had come to a halt watching the confrontation where Daniella was right in the middle.

Peace may have come to Hilm for now but memories of the past had a way of clouding issues.

Alatriel:
Daniella listens to the soldiers explain their stories.

"I expected more of all of you.  I don't know how many times we will have to go over this, but if you cannot get it into your heads that we are not at war with each other anymore, then you all better figure out how to pretend until you can."

She looks around at them.  "You are all supposed to have far more discipline than to fall to schoolyard scuffling.  If a soldier tells you to return to your camp, you do so.  End of story.  There will be no more infighting whatsoever between you all.  Since you have nothing better to do than to become engaged in brawls, I expect all of you to double the outward patrols and make sure that while we've all been distracted here with this ridiculous behavior, we do not have enemies sneaking up to attack us this minute.  If you can't find anyone, then you look again.  I want order in this camp.  AM I CLEAR?"

She looks at the Fifth Rank that reported to her in the first place.  "I expect you to let me know if anyone is foolish enough to start something again."

RollinsCat:
Mari stands at attention as reports are made to Commander Stormhaven.  Her face is held tightly in control but those who know her know she's agitated - and, oddly, a little pleased, but only the very few closest would pick up on that.

Aphel:
William observes the scene and Daniella calmly. A slight frown forms on his face and stays there for a while, until his expression changes back to his usual state.
She's right, but if discipline and peace do not come from within, force from without only has so much effect.
On the other hand, he could understand all to well why things might have gotten out of hand. At least nobody was injured or killed.
No.
There was a burning in him, and he could not deny it was there or quench it otherwise with discipline and restraint. And before he thought things through properly, he yelled:
"PERMISSION TO SPEAK TO THE MEN, COMMANDER!"
