Odessa had gotten up early that morning as well, though she felt she had slept surprisingly well for what was looming in the near future. However instead of finding a way to train, she simply did some warmups, stretching to make sure her muscles wouldn't cramp, and watched the horizon and all of the beauty nature held within it's grasp. Her thoughts wandered to her worries, of blood-soaked armors, but felt much better than the night before - Sonya and she had made plans, to which she felt was the best way to utilize both of their talents. Before she realized how much time had passed, she found herself lining up in a formation in front of the commander.

At first, she could only think of how unusual he seemed, perhaps snobbish in his dress, almost reminding her of the nobles that loved to play knight but would never dare risk actual battle. As the man spoke of how everyone was going to die, she instantly frowned in disgust - [color=fe7e53][i]'how dare he! With some many lives at stake!'[/i][/color] She knew that morale was important and this [i]boy[/i] was destroying it. It only took a moment more before a man had climbed to his station and punched him right in the jaw! The man was gruff and ragged-edged to his speech, but she inwardly cheered to herself for the great timing.

Odessa smiled as the speech continued, glancing at the image of Sonya happily, until she suddenly heard her name in the middle of it. Blinking in slight surprise, even feeling her cheeks flush, she scoffed slightly at the idea - though as flattering as it was. Thankfully not many people knew what her name was - [color=fe7e53][i]'wait, how does [b]he[/b] know?'[/i][/color] She furrowed her brows slightly before just sighing and letting the slight fade away into her mind, listening to the rest of the plan.

As Silas started to divide people up, she made her way to Sonya, making sure they were near each other. Another surprise though as Silas directed her to take center field with him while Sonya took left flank, causing her to raise her hand and get the man's attention, [color=fe7e53][b]"excuse me!"[/b][/color] As the masked commander turned to her, she closed the distance between them just enough to be heard without yelling. [color=fe7e53][b]"Normally I wouldn't question tactics... but Sonya and I.. well, I made a promise to her. She has the ability to control the field as she's practiced wind and water magics for those purposes exactly. While discussing last night.. we thought it best that I act as her guardian while she focuses on using her magic to help [i]everyone.[/i]"[/b][/color] Taking in a breath, she continued, [color=fe7e53][b]"the thing is, I think she trusts me. Especially considering the amount of concentration she'll need, I think that trust is important to her own morale, which benefits all of us.. so wherever you put us, please allow us to work together."[/b][/color] Truth be told, Odessa was more pleading for the benefit it'd lead out in the battlefield, more than anything... even if she got amazing first impression from the masked warrior.
