I'm not the only one
Who finds it hard to understand
Intimidating?
Mallorie peered at Morgan. She supposed she could see how someone might be intimidated by a woman so forthright, and not given to small talk. Especially with the strength of mind she projected. Personally, Mallorie felt respect rather than apprehension. A recognition of her own kind in the other woman.
She huffed, “I’ve been told similar”, before nodding her approval at Morgan’s plans for cohesion between her guards. “Laying the groundwork now will serve us well in future. Your guards will have more faith in a captain who can remember their names.”
The model proposed by Halo seemed far more forgiving than Mallorie expected. Exile aside, the Halo guards seemed much more dedicated to...well. Guarding. She had colleagues in her own life who seemed more concerned with being arbiters of right and wrong, rather than protecting the people they were supposed to shield.
Such a strange thing. She had to change worlds to find a place that matched her view.
Mallorie, for the first time since her arrival, relaxed.
“I’m glad to hear good sense is prized here, even among the guard.”
