Snippet #2023560

He listened very intently to Eli. He was still tense but he was loosening up, which pleased Atomsk. He expected to be called odd. He usually was. He loved the comment about Lieutenant General Conway. He disliked the man and thought the comments made by Eli were amusing.

After Eli ended mentioning the scars he laughed very loudly. He grinned and decided to loosen up himself.

"Some of these scars are from battle. But to be honest most of them come from when superiors took punishments into their own hands."

He smiled from ear to ear at this point. He had grown to love his scars. He liked the way they looked and thought they gave him some character.

"You understand then that i take some liberties when it comes to command. I understand that it will seem hypocritical of me to ask you to listen to me when I myself don't listen to my superiors. My tactics will seem strange. Insane. Suicidal. But I value everyone of you. Remember that."

He pulled out his cigar box and put one in his mouth, after which he offered one to Eli, unsure if Eli liked cigars.
