I am not a scholar and I don't believe in fate
Despite the questions coming their way, no one stepped forward to challenge their rule. This brought a confidence to the Sentinel. He gave Hotaru's hand gentle, steady pressure as she addressed the concerns raised by both Sah and Aino. Noah was more understanding of the challenge from the outlander, but inwardly shocked at Aino's expression of her discomfort. He had known the woman well when they were children. In later years, she had mostly been silent towards him. What was surprising was that Noah had assumed someone who chose to take up the role of soldier would do anything it took to keep their home safe. With all of his surprise happening inwardly, the man still stood before them stalwart, covered in a neutral, serious expression.
"General Deimos will be taking back leadership of our soldiers. The world is growing more dangerous as we speak. We need to prepare." It was all he had to say after Hotaru's remarks, with the depart of several of their citizens and Sah's silence. Had they any further concerns, Noah was sure he would hear about them. The people of Halo trusted him, he knew that to his very core.
He had made sure they survived to this point.
NOAH
