You say that, but you'd be wrong. I've had to command my own men -- Gautier men -- over the last five years. My father might give the order to defend the border, but at the end of the day, it's me in the thick of it telling them to charge forward or retreat, to make a pincer or do something else.

It's not quite the diplomacy that you are referencing, but don't count me out as having to not worry about it.

I think you're just making a mountain out of a molehill. Everybody has massive decisions to make. And hell, maybe it's worse just being in charge of a battalion. Think about it -- our decisions are going to weigh on you in the end. If we make a bad call, it goes back to Dimitri, who made a bad call as well by putting me in that role.

I think it's apples to oranges in the end, but there are some similarities. And there is a lot of weight that comes with any position like that.

But I'm not offended. Mostly.
