	Brennen listened to what Adrial had to say about the earlier battle and after he finished, Brennen sighed and looked over at him. "I am, a little bit. And it [i]is[/i] because of all the losses. Look, in all my years of tacticizing, I've lost a total of ten men- and women- total. I aced every tactics class and led many a men into battle with few injuries. It just hit me hard with how many had to die simply because we didn't have the luxury of enough heroes to keep them off the villagers. Like you said, that's about 24 families, give or take, that are going to be in mourning because [i]I couldn't help them.[/i] I've also taught a lot of kids how to fight in, like, tae quon do type settings. The kids I taught had close to a 2.0 win-to-lose ratio. I know that no plan is perfect, but I figured the death count wouldn't have been [i]that[/i] high from the plan. And that was only our gate's side. I should've just taken the screecher by myself so you could have focused more on keeping them alive." Looking down at the table, he shook his head a little. Mostly trying to clear it. "Anyways, it's a wise idea to rest up now, since we're being thrown into the field of battle once again by sundown tomorrow. I don't know how far away that place is."[/color]
