Snippet #2583677

The Lumens all shared expressions of pride at the words, with a few of them even shouting “For Eldanoore!” amongst the shouting of the Grey Guard, but for the most part they remained quiet and reserved throughout. Some of them seemed unsure how to react, as they had never been involved in or trained for large displays like this. Yveine herself wasn't one for big shows such as this, but even she had to admit she was impressed, not only by Elterys’s words but by how quickly the soldiers began to mobilize.
Once the Guard started to march, Yveine turned her head and indicated for Aino to come over before saying “Let’s move into position for the march. Those on horseback flank either side, the rest follow on behind the Guard. Remember, keep alert at all times. If the March-Warden makes a command to halt then follow it, otherwise report to me.”
Aino nodded, turning around and making several different gestures towards the other Lumens who soon fell into place amongst the guard. Yveine waited a moment, observing the two groups merge together.
“So eager to fight, their dedication knows no bounds.” Althea commented, watching the marching soldiers.
“That’s true Althea, but it’s genuine at least. Eldanoore couldn’t ask for more.” She responded, her horse moving forward as she made her way back over to Elterys. “Strong words my lord, you certainly know how to motivate them. Perhaps you could do something similar for Lord Nefarian, he approached me earlier claiming he was uncomfortable about sending his men to Ethia's border.”
