"Yes, Mother Alphira." The two majors bow out, taking their associated retinues with them. William watches, a bemused smile on his face. You pull aside one of the younger ones and order him to provide you with five las-pistols, of dubious quality. He looks confused, but complies, hurrying off to do so.
"I'm not going to bow, Phebe," He states, walking away. "I'm taking the center with you. Someone's gotta watch my little sister's investment."
You return to your tent to find it assembled, a young man in front, keeping sealed bowls of nutrient paste warm in his coat. He brings them out to you, bowing his head and fleeing without a word. Shrugging, you head inside. At one point, they had a camp-stove in your room, that the younger officer stoked to keep you warm at night. You didn't need it, however, as even the creeping cold of the coming winter didn't bother you. It now sits, unused, in the corner, with a stack of papers haphazardly perched atop it. Discipline reports, repair requisitions, other useless information that your Major's feed you to keep you busy.
You eat in silence for a while, until William announces himself at your tent's entrance. "So, we're going to be fighting side by side, Phebe. You looking forward to it? I know I am."
