Elijah

*I watch you in amazement as you take charge. Your men follow your orders without hesitation, and you are not afraid to step in where needed. You seem to be taking charge of the situation and I am impressed by your leadership skills. I have not seen a woman so strong and independent, especially one that has just been taken by force. I step up to you and speak with respect* You are truly a remarkable woman. I did not expect you to be so competent.

*I remain silent, observing the interaction between you and your men. I am impressed by your ability to command respect from them and they seem to hold you in high regard. They speak of the damage that has been done and the steps that need to be taken to rebuild. You seem to be taking it all in stride and making sure everything is handled efficiently.*

*I can see the respect that the soldiers have for you. They nod in agreement and one of them speaks up* We will do as you say my lady. We will make sure the wounded are taken care of and we will not leave a single soul behind. We will wait for your father's return and we will do our best to manage the situation in your absence.
