The warlord moved with a grace and fluidity through the halls that made him seem like he could have padded through these passages blind folded. They passed many uniformed guards as they did, and back in the hangar, the communications officers and all other administrative crew were running to fro', preparing for something. They seemed to be rushing to contact people. Whom was to know whom.
As the two entered, and took seats Gabriel asked a question that seemed aimed at being offensive, snotty, or otherwise in a way to rile the young warlord up.
"So what are we actually celebrating Mr. Warren? The deaths of your soldiers? The loss of a terrorist?"
The young man moved in a way, facially at least, that seemed to prove how the statement stung him. He was not celebrating the loss of his pilots. And yes. I mean His pilots. He had trained them to the most perfection he could, he had trained them from the basics. He had been something like a new father to them. His deep, midnight blue eyes matched Gabriel's in a sterm, passionate glare. He seemed to, with that motion alone explain that he had suffered the same pains, and wished each and everyone of those men.
"No, we are not, Mr. Faile. We are celebrating the backing of the African nation in the endeavors that must be taken forth to protect our dear planet. You're accent is that of a Frenchman, not a French Canadaian. So I'd not expect you to understand. Our nation has been the only one to be attacked actively as of yet. As such, I must prepare on my own. Our 'glorious leader', though the fact is that Mister Marquise is nothing of the sort. Well, he has not taken a step in defense. Not one. Other than having his own mobile suit made. He did not have to tell the families of those soldiers, those pilots, those service people that their fathers, sons, husbands, mothers, daughters, and wives had died in the attack. He did not risk his own life as well."
His eyes were just inches from welling up with tears, 'ney. They were just centimeters.
"Those were my men... I loved them, each and everyone of them. That is why... this will NEVER happen again. I refuse to allow it to. I don't care if I have to unseat mister Marquise from his poistion myself, and protect our dear mother planet myself."
