[quote=Phobos] "I wanted to speak to you about a very important manner" Viole stood up, taking a break from his paper work to look out his window behind him "Emilo, you may not remember it but you saved Shoskes life on the mission and was willing to give your life to complete it" At first, it would sound like Viole was complementing Emilo, which he partially was. Viole turned back to Emilo "But do not do such a thing again. In reality, Squad 4 may be on the bottom of the hierarchy in the Gotei 13, but it is by far one of the most important squads there is. Your goal isn't to fight, but to assist those fighting. I know you are young, so there will be those times where you will want to fight. Although I can order you not go, I think it is best to leave it up to you. When the time comes to it, you will have to decide. Fight or heal. I have faith that you will always choose correct, just follow your gut" He said, with a smileViole turned back away from Emilo, looking back out the window "It's beautiful isn't it...the SEIREITEI...Emilo. You are the first to know, but my time here is only limited. I don't know how much longer I have left, but I know death will soon be coming for me. That is why I selected you, Emilo, to be my protege. The training will be incredibly hard. You may even die. But...if you make it, you will be the perfect candidate to take the next seat of Captain of Squad 4 and perhaps my title, Grand Kido Chief" Viole turned back to Emilo, with a sad expression in his eyes but retaining a smile "You have a week to let me know, until then" He reached inside his drawer and pulled out an armband, holding it out to Emilo "I am promoting you to the 5th Seat of Squad 4. Now you will be the one ordering your fellow members" He said, letting out a slight chuckle. "You are now dismissed" [/quote] Emilo straightened himself up and tried to look at least decent even if he was burning the very last of his energy. He looked out the window past the captain to see if there was anything in particular, but there was nothing. Emilo found himself questioning how the captain knew what had happened out on the mission, how he could possibly know something about Emilo that Emilo himself didn't. He could not put his finger on if he was getting yelled at or complimented, but decided to take it as well as he could. "Captain, I can not tell you what I did on that mission, everything went blank all of a sudden. I wish I could explain, but I can't." he searched his head for anything that would have lead him to feel like sacrificing himself was a good idea, but nothing came up and it was a bit painful tying to remember it. His eyes meet Viole's and Emilo sharpened his listening. It was a grand speech, but in the end all he could answer was "I will try my best to choose right, sir" "Yes, it is beautiful." he had to agree, but the part following shocked him. Viole was going to die ? why ? and why did Viole feel that Emilo could fill his post ? Balling his fists Emilo kept listening, trying not to interrupt. The mans eyes and lips did not agree with each other and Emilo left out a soft sigh as he looked at his captain. "I...I'm sorry, sir. I will try my best" as he saw Viole grab an armband Emilo's heart stopped, he froze and only movment he seemed to be able to make was grabbing the armband. "Thank you...thank you so much. You will (possibly) not regret this" and with a final smile Emilo left the room, still in a daze of lack of energy and happiness. He walked slowly towards his quarters, but that day he feel asleep with a smile on his face.
