Aren't we all? [There's a dry twist to her lips, amused if only privately. She was continually frustrated with her own lack of use in this.]

How goes it otherwise? [she nodded her head out, towards the soldiers.] Are they succeeding, or rather, advancing or not?

[because if not, they needed to try harder, and she'd think of something else again.]

[doctor_dragoon]

[He turns back to face the battlefield, hunkered behind his gun.]

In relation to the entire invading force, very few have made it as far as my range. [Which is fairly large, Elizabeth will know by now.] It's slow going, but everyone seems to be driving the soldiers back.

[1mistress_nomaster]

Good. [she looks a little relieved to hear that.] You are all very good at what you do.

[she bites her lip, using the scope he'd given her to look out at the soldiers. Taking note of everything they were wearing, their weapons -- nothing which she had ever seen before, but that was ] No seig -- I mean heavier weaponry?

Or... well, whatever the equivalent is to canons and the like?

[doctor_dragoon]

[He shakes his head.]

Not yet. I've been watching the bridges for heavy artillery, but so far only men have crossed over.

[1mistress_nomaster]

Good. I hope there is nothing else for them to send.

[But then other things.]

I hope you don't mind me saying this Yukio, but of all of them here, it's you I trust to keep a level head on your shoulders when this is done... which is going to be extremely important once we have prisoners. [which she isn't going to look forward too dealing with.]

[doctor_dragoon]

[Yukio frowns at the change in conversation, but he listens thoughtfully. He certainly appreciates her confidence in him, but it's definitely not the most pleasant topic.]

... What would you have me do?

[1mistress_nomaster]

[She reassures him with a smile, or at least tries too.]

Nothing awful, in fact, the complete opposite. I want them to be treated as well as can be. I really wouldn't trust this with the others, good as they are. Except Raven, perhaps, if you don't mind working with her.

But the soldiers... They'll need to be fed, watered, have somewhere safe to stay and their wounds tended too. They've already suffered enough out there already. They're just men with orders, and it should be respected.

[She had other purposes, less honest ones, but those didn't matter so much.]

[doctor_dragoon]

[He nods.] I don't mind at all.

My brother would be useful to that end as well. He has a temper, but he wouldn't harm them unless it was necessary, and three makes for a more solid watch than two.

[1mistress_nomaster]

[She nods, looking a little relieved.]

Yes, I remember how he reacted to the burnings. [her laughter is dry]

It does, I know I could count on you in this.

[doctor_dragoon]

[He raises an eyebrow.] Burnings?

[1mistress_nomaster]

Ah you don't remember? He got very upset when I told him they burning people alive where I come from... for religious reasons mostly.

[she looks away a little awkward.]

[doctor_dragoon]

[Recognition passes over his face and he nods.]

It slipped my mind. He was rather angry...

[1mistress_nomaster]

As he should be. It's monstrous to see, and I'm glad people aren't so... desensitized any more. I've never done battle, but...

[she stops, shakes her mind to clear it.]

Never mind, my time is done, and people don't do that any more. We have more important matters at the moment. Though I think that is everything I can think of for now.
