Behind the Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

[bitchprince]

So they couldn't have a reserve leader meeting this week, because Leto was a tree. Arthur being Arthur, he was fairly convinced Leto was just doing it to spite everyone (especially him), but that was hardly the reason he was behind the dorms this morning.

"Today, we're going to be working on fortifying the dorms," Arthur announced, "As well as setting up for their defense. If a fighting force somehow breaks through the gates, it will be of great importance to ensure that the dorms are kept safe and well-defended." He... took a moment to handwavily in order not to break the mun's brain elaborate on his own time's strategies for standing in a square with spears hoping something will fall on them defense of such buildings. It involved barricades. And fires. And, okay, standing in a square with spears hoping something would fall on it, but he said it... a little classier than that.

"I would like you all to take a march around the building," because physical exercise was also always good, "And find the weak spots. Windows, damaged walls, and the like. There are a number of defensive positions we can take in order to safeguard the gates. I've listed a number of them, but go take a look and bring us your own ideas."

He nodded at the crowd, then paused. "If anyone is searching for Lord Leto," he said, "He's currently topiary, but with any luck, he'll grace us with his presence again next week."

Seriously. Couldn't Leto turn into a tree when it was actually useful, like in a quiet week where Arthur could have the room to himself?

She'd been hoping to hear that, actually. The competent part, not the impossible part. "Okay, true, but you're not screwing up the timeline just for me."

"If it's a choice between you and the timeline, I'm picking you," he said quietly.

She kept ending up not knowing what to say around Ben. It wasn't a bad thing, necessarily -- all Tahiri could think of to do was to hug him as hard as she could.

Ben held on just as tightly and ran his fingers through her hair. Apparently reserve meetings doubled as dates for them.

It was multitasking! And they'd even come up with some useful ideas this time. Very efficient of them, really.
