@HeroOfGraia - I'm certain you'd be able to deliver successfully if you tried."
The Phoenix Lord told him in a genuine manner. Although she often found them lacking in grace, she quite liked how.. coarse a lot of the Astartes could sound.
"Having served for as long as I have, --
@HeroOfGraia -- Seemingly more at ease now among the Astartes after their Captain had lightened the mood with his attempt at a joke. Something she took no offense in whatsoever, and responded to in a similar fashion.
