Waiter: You're welcome. And for you, sir? : Mango gazpacho, thanks. Waiter: *takes menus* It'll be out shortly. *leaves* : ...I have no idea what I just ordered. Anyway, I was thinking I could do more of a front-lines thing? Swash: *smirks* Gazpacho is like a soup. I don't care for it, really, but it's better when it's aged a little. I would love for you to be a front lines general, and I will push for it, but I want you to be prepared if the other Rinamians aren't so open to the idea. The Rinamian military already has generals, and they won't see why their defensive experience makes them less valuable in an offensive war then someone like yourself. It may end up being that you must act as an advisor and prove yourself before they allow you to lead them. : But my talents. Are going to be wasted. I can prove myself with my results. Instead of sitting in some room just... advising all day. *fidgets in sear*

I've just been thinking lately of what changes to my plans the other Progenitors might demand of me- best to be prepared and think of how to defend my plans, no?

Swash: Hah, who can? What sort of projects are you working on? : I'm a mercenary, and I have this contract where I'm just supposed to kill one person. Some kind of criminal, I don't know, I don't really care, but this old lady paid me quite a bit. Hence why we're meeting here. *adjusts tie* She said that the person I'm supposed to kill is hiding out on an island, and that she wanted me to burn the whole thing down. But that's so wasteful, isn't it? I can probably just get in and out quick without destroying an entire island. Might even find some things worth taking.

Swash: Ah~ I wish you luck in your venture. : Thanks. Honestly, I feel pretty good about it, it's really nothing out of the ordinary for me. Anyway, let's get back on topic. Is there anything else I should know about your military?

Are people looking? Are they looking at me? *starts wolfing down rolls*
