==Full Text==
Lila Ericson: Lila led Milae to the outskirts of the village where they wouldn’t be bothered by any prying eyes or listening ears. “Alright what did you have to tell me that was so important?” She asked.
Yun Milae: Still thrown by Tulli’s appearance, Milae took a second to gather his thoughts. “I wanted to inform you of the position I will be taking in our upcoming attack on Castaway. I assume you would want to have me there…do tell me if I am wrong…but as I know plans are still in formation due to Darien’s arrival, I wanted to…ah, what was it…beat him to the punch, so to speak.”
Lila Ericson: She folded her arms as she listened to him. “Firstly what role would you be having during the raid, secondly what do you mean, beat him to the punch?”
Yun Milae: “Tell you what I plan to do, before you decide for me.” He looked at her steadily. He hadn’t interacted with her enough to tell how this might go. “I will be in the back lines, Commander, off the field. However I may assist there is up to you.”
Lila Ericson: She frowns as her foot begins tapping. “You wasted my time for that?” She asked, frustration in her voice. “I don’t even have a plan yet of attack yet. I don’t even have the raw Intel yet that I’ll use to formulate a plan, and you’re deciding where you should go.” She was frustrated and on the verge of just walking away from the conversation as a whole.
Yun Milae: Milae frowned. “Apologies, Commander.” He toyed with his staff, flicking it back and forth between his thumb and two cloven fingers, making a soft tapping, a slower pace than Lila’s pounding foot. “All I was doing was giving you the courtesy of knowing where I will be when the time comes. I know you are unprepared. I can give limited assistance in scouting, if need be.”
Lila Ericson: She rubs her face her face in frustration. “Look, you’ll go where I tell you, or you won’t come. If you prefer to be in the back for a specific reason tell me why and I can get it arranged so that you’re there, okay?”
Yun Milae: “I will be in the back.” He attempted to bring the discussion to a firm close. “Commander, considering what I know so far, Darien’s pertinent information will be recorded within the next few days. Time is short. Disregarding the raid itself, is there something else I can assist with?”
Lila Ericson: She stared at him for a full half minute. “Tell me something Milae, why do you even call me Commander if you aren’t even going to listen to my commands.” She asked.
Yun Milae: “To respect your authority over the Rebellion,” he said evenly. “I lend my services to the rebels. I do not consider myself one.”
Lila Ericson: “Then you aren’t coming to the raid.” She said firmly. “I cannot have people running around the battlefield doing whatever the Hel they please because they think it’s best, that’s how people die. Themselves and others.”
Yun Milae: “I don’t believe you understand. You still need me.” The staff stopped rattling in his hand as he tightened his hoof around it.
Lila Ericson: “No, I don’t.” She insisted. “I need one of two things. I need you to tell me why you need to be back lines so much, or I need you to do as you’re fucking told.”
Yun Milae: “Because–” Milae’s voice was short as his hold on his temper slipped. He looked over his shoulder to ensure they were alone. “Perhaps someone that can live through hundreds of iterations of this raid may be useful to have around the raid but not in it, Lila.”
Lila Ericson: She frowned as he switched to her name. “What the Hel are you talking about?”
Yun Milae: He pinched the bridge of his muzzle and groaned inwardly. What damn timeline am I in again? I thought she already knew. 
He went over his abilities with her as concisely as possible. “I have not done so yet, but I will be looping into other timelines to see how many chances I have at seeing what goes wrong in the raid, and then living each of them out to get the most information I can from each one.” He folded his arms, baring his scars. “My point being, I am not a mere soldier. Please do not consider me as such.”
Lila Ericson: “Was that so hard?” She asked. “I just need to know the whole picture so I can make decisions appropriately. If I can’t play chess if I can’t see the whole board.”
Yun Milae: “As I said, I apologize. I have many things on my mind and the knowledge that you were not aware of my position was not one of them.”
Lila Ericson: She waved it off. “It’s fine. We’ll put you in the back you’ll be…. A consultant of sorts I suppose. Now was there anything else?” She asked impatiently.
Yun Milae: “I will leave you to your business, Commander.”
