Deimos started off and Noah lifted his gaze to the general. He was a true general -- his mind always working and putting together plans. It was something that Noah admired about him. The Sentinel's mind did not work that way all of the time -- when faced with uncertainty and unfamiliarity, Noah often faltered. It was one of his greatest flaws. He wanted to open his mouth and speak, to rally before them as the Warden and leader they deserved. For now, he listened, turning his eyes to each of them in turn, hearing out what they knew and what they had to say. Korbin not being among them panged at his heart, but he knew the youngest Hale had some idea that drew him away -- something he was working on.
Finally, he let his breath out. "The gratitude I have for each of you is unwavering. your hearts are strong, and I appreciate your loyalty to our home, to our people. Whatever we do, however we move forward, it is out of their best interest. We have to protect them."
