[QUOTE="Eluvan, post: 2682749, member: 24812"] Alister gives a slow groan of confusion and pain as he comes to. He has no desire whatsoever to get up. He feels like a house has landed on him, and his natural inclination is to play dead until he either feels better, or the act becomes a reality. But he doesn't. [i][color=silver]You're an officer,[/color][/i][color=silver][/color] he tells himself firmly. [color=silver][i]You're responsible for the welfare of the people under you. You've been entrusted with important duties. You're an officer. *Act* like it.[/i][/color] Steeling his resolve and propping himself up on his ranseur, Alister slowly picks himself up and surveys the carnage with a sinking feeling that he is completely out of his depth. The feeling is hardly dissipated when the Elven boy approaches him and identifies him as the only ranking man conscious in the vicinity. He swallows hard, before slowly nodding. [color=silver]"Of course."[/color] He tries to sound calm and in control, but doesn't quite manage it. Taking a deep breath he turns to see who else has survived the wreck, and sees that a handful are stirring. He musters all the self-control and authority he can, trying to reassure himself as much as anyone else of his officer status, and walks closer to address them without raising his voice. Somehow shouting out orders over this misty scene of devastation would seem crass, boorish. [color=silver]"We need to put together a delegation to speak with the mayor of this place. Anyone who can walk... you're with me."[/color] Miraculously, he manages to keep his voice level and his face composed. [/QUOTE]
