Dealing with the Rookies - Overthesea/Jade
John grinned and nudged his friend's arm, "This is going to be awesome! Bet you're glad to finally be leaving the Academy eh Canton?" he asked, eyes bright and shiny with excitement as the two of them boarded a shuttle to one of the large war ships. "You watch, I'll be a Lieutenant within a year, betcha!" he smirked haughtily. "I can't believe that General Marlin and General Vancouver picked us...I mean, yeah we're awesome....but still....just wow!"
"Hm, you know Christian, I just had a thought." Charles said to his partner who was General of the northern while he was of the southern planets. "We're taking on those two rookies today right? Well....I just thought it'd be sort of...nice to feel like I had my own son or something, I never did settle down...it's nice to know I can pass on what I've gone through all my life." he then smirked, "Of course, I'll have to discipline him if he gets out of hand....hm, not sure how though."
