But there was a good chance it could have failed, too. You shouldn't leave things up to fate like that.

If things hadn't gone your way, you could've lost your entire unit. You and your soldiers alike would be at the feet of the goddess right now.

My point is, you need to make decisions based on strategy, not chance. I thought someone as smart as you would understand that.

Yes, yes, that's enough lectures for today. I know what I'm supposed to be doing.

But had my unit not rushed in, the battle would've dragged on for far too long.
linkLysitheavolume_up
The fighting would've surely raged into the next day. We would have had to revisit our tactics entirely if the enemy changed formations at daybreak.
linkLysitheavolume_up
And if things had gone south from there, it could've taken us more days further to finish the battle.
linkLysitheavolume_up
I won't insist I made the "right" decision, but don't imply I didn't consider the possibilities. I was always fully aware that we could fail.
linkClaudevolume_up
But failure didn't even have to be an option.
linkClaudevolume_up
Sure, the battle dragging on would've had an impact on the war at large.
linkClaudevolume_up
But so what? In the grand scheme of things, your life is far, far more valuable than a few measly days of combat.
linkClaudevolume_up
Please, Lysithea. I need you to promise me you won't put yourself in danger like that again.
linkClaudevolume_up
You know, it's not just your own life you're rolling the dice with. Every single soldier you command would die with pride by your word.
linkLysitheavolume_up
So...you're saying I fail as a leader. Yes, maybe I do.
linkLysitheavolume_up
Well, feel free to remove me from my post if you don't think I should be commanding troops.
linkLysitheavolume_up
That's wholly within your right. Do what you will.
linkLysitheavolume_up
Until then, I'm going to do what I will. Now if you'll excuse me.
linkClaudevolume_up
Yeesh. I don't know what's up with her, but I can't help if she's gonna be that stubborn about it.
linkClaudevolume_up
Either way, it doesn't seem like she's changing tunes any time soon. Guess I'll just have to do what I can to keep her safe in the meantime.
