Fleuri briefly assessed the different groups.  Fanilly would be leading from the front.  Tyaethe the First and Youngest would be leading from the left.  Sir Gerard, the Reonite former mercenary, was leading the right flank.  Dame Aria, a veteran knight of the Larette family, was leading the rear flank.  Fleuri had alrady interacted with and assessed Gerald, but he had not thought too much about the other two yet.

Paladin Tyaethe needed no further introduction, as her reputation preceded her.  If the stories were true, she could probably handle the entire left flank by herself.  He wondered if Tyaethe knew or remembered his ancestor Armand Jodeau, a renowned knight in his own time.  Perhaps he could ask her about it later, once this bandit business was concluded.  Assuming, of course, Fleuri had the nerve to approach and ask her- even as small of stature as she was out of her armor, she was quite intimidating.

The second flank leader, Dame Aria, was somewhat known to Fleuri.  She was a decorated veteran of Cal's rebellion and a member of the Larette family.  They were a powerful noble family, distinguished by their red hair and great stature.  In the past, they were bitter rivals of the Jodeau, back when Fleuri's family was relevant.  The mutual disdain didn't end when Jodeau relinquished its land and ceased to be a threat to Larette, as doing so only demonstrated how deeply contrasting the two familes' ideals were.  It was unclear whether Aria adhered to Larette's ruthlessly pragmatic ideals, but what was clear was that she was a valorous warrior whose loyalty to the kingdom was not in question.

"I volunteer to fight on the rear flank," Fleuri announced to the captain.  He wanted to see how the rival family- and their martial tradition- had fared over the years.  She'll probably hate him, but why would a Jodeau ever care for a Larette's opinion?
