Unsure what to say about the obviously unconvinced Mr. Amtrum! "What I know is I can't not try. It's not who I am. But I'm going to try to be smarter about it. No more running headlong into unwinnable fights." And maybe time for accepting there's such thing as an unwinnable fight. « Last Edit: Feb 16, 2016 20:30:24 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

I'll show you I'm taking what you say to heart. And if I screw up and die, fine, long as I don't drag anyone down with me. I knew the risks when I took this job." He does look like he didn't entirely mean to say that last bit, though. "Please, sir. Give me one chance. Don't force me to stand by and do nothing while people I care about risk their lives."

Right to the point, and he starts to turn to go! "Though, sir? I can learn to know when I'm outmatched, but if I don't get stronger, more skilled, I'll always be outmatched by the same people. Can we work on that sometime? Is there anything I can practise before we're all sent off to fight?" Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Thank you. I promise I won't let you down again." But as he leaves, the words have a bitter taste in his mouth. Better judgement, fine, but there's a war on. He can't turn around and run every time someone's a little tough. Still. Something to think about. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

"That is a good call Miss Knight. And I thank you for bringing this to my attention. I ask that you instruct It to report any more intercepted transmissions to us so we can compare it with our own operative's information." If the information proved to be genuine it would be valuable. He also didn't think he needed to stress the importance to her to make sure that It was kept clear of any operational information on their side. Just in case.

He'd sigh as his shoulders slumped. The fact that it was Rhett weighed heavier on him than if it had been most other people. "The information will be passed along to those that need to know it. His actual fate will likely depend on how he is encountered next." Mathew hoped that of all the people he may come up against Rhett would not be one of them.
