| *the sad expression intensifies a little.* LI: May I put my helmet back on now, sir? Trajan: of course, LI. Whatever makes you comfortable. LI: thankyou. *she does so* Trajan: LI is somewhat... special. The others do not tend to so much as talk. From what I've gathered from her, they can, they just don't want to. She's uncomfortable talking, she's uncomfortable showing her face. I even asked if she'd prefer a more normal name than her number. She turned it down. Like with showing her face, having any other name made her uncomfortable. *sighs, although Ket can tell it is a caring sigh* | |

| Ket pauses, as he absorbs this information. "... Hmn. If such is true. I feel i should not so much hate you... as pity you. And hate your creators all the more. Not so much was the life of a warrior thrust upon you, but that of a weapon." | |

| Ket has not broken eye contact with LI yet, his stern frown behind his helm, slowly lifting, and changing to a look of concern. "In which case, i do apologize. Should all this be correct, in all things... we have more in common than i would care to admit." | |

| The Immortals are ready to move, with men sent out on horseback already, ranging ahead. | |

| likewise, a good number of the auxiliaries have already been dispatched as scouts. It doesn't take long before all of the legions are on the move. | |

| Trajan is riding alongside several other officers, all bearing the Sigil and number of the IV Legion on their cloaks or armour. With that already becoming unmistakable smile, Trajan spots Ket approaching, and gives a Dracian salute in his direction. | |

| Ket taps his sternum twice with his right hand, his left holding the reins, in the kelthrovi way. "Consul." | |

| *They look up at him, the black veil covering their features serving its purpose. Then, in a flat toned, dracian accent, with a hint of kelthrovi, most definitely female, they reply.* "...Nothing, Consul." | |

| Trajan: *Nods in understanding* Our Alliance is more fortuitous than I thought, Ket'verahi. My legions and I do our best...but you can never save everyone. I'm glad to see someone is able to rescue at least some of those we cannot. | |

Gorath

| The immortals have camped across the oasis from the dracian camp. Not opposite, for that would make reinforcing one another impractical. But as far as could be done without creating undue hazard. | |
