Darius inclined his head at Tamara came in. "Recruit," he corrected. "Cadet is a term we use for commissioned enlistees." He glanced at the clock on his tablet and looked at Tamara again. "At ease, while we wait for the rest to arrive."
“While we’re waiting, I should mention that Freya will not be joining us. She rather impressed everyone at the officer’s dinner last night that it was decided she’d be better served in the citadel.” Darius took a sip from his teacup and looked expectantly at the tent flap. “I just felt it might be worth mentioning.”
As the minutes ticked down to the starting time, no other recruit had come through the tent. The moment the time chimed on Darius' tablet he set it down and looked at Tamara with a bit more hardness. "I have to say this doesn't speak well for your fellow recruits, especially after the debacle of yesterday I would have expected all of you to be here bright and early." He made a small disgusted noise and picked his tablet up again. "Well, there was going to be a vote as to who would be the leader of today's activities but seeing as you're the only one here and on time that honor goes to you, Tamara."
Cobalt straightened in his chair. "Shall I go fetch the other recruits, then Sir?"
Darius shook his head. "Let's give them another half hour."
