Commander Kayaba leaves a lot of that to me, actually.

[infinitejustice]

He does? Then what does he take care of himself?

[fencerflash]

The logistics and the like. He says I'm better at it, and having me command the squad is better for morale.

[She pauses, hesitating for a moment.]

He... said it boosts morale, to see a Natural ace in charge.

[infinitejustice]

To see a Natural ace...wait a minute, you're not saying he's a Coordinator, are you?

[fencerflash]

No, no. It's... more like he thinks that having a young ace, rather than a middle-aged officer, as the public face boosts the base's morale. He's a Natural, too.

[She pauses, thoughtfully.]

But, Commander Kayana isn't much of a pilot. He's better than he lets on at strategy and tactics, though.

[infinitejustice]

...Oh. I see. Still, I suppose I'd ask.

[After all, Athrun has personal experience with the Earth Alliance using Coordinators from the First Bloody Valentine War.]

At any rate, I suppose his delegation should allow us to expedite things. Before we do any mock battles, though, I definitely want to see how the team performs in drills.

[fencerflash]

[Asuna nods her head.]

I imagine it happens. Coordinators in the Earth Alliance forces.

[She looks up at that, then she nods her head. Easily done, she thinks. And hopefully they can impress him.]

I'll arrange for it, then.

[infinitejustice]

[Athrun pauses. Did she not know about Kira?]

Good. Perhaps I ought to leave you to that, then?

[He's curious, but he figures he can always ask later.]

[fencerflash]

Sure. I'll get it taken care of. 0900 tomorrow, let's say?

[infinitejustice]

Sure. That'll be a good way to start the day, both for the pilots and for me.

[fencerflash]

[Asuna smiles at that. It will be good -- to get them working, to do something, instead of look at how undermanned they are. She nods.]

Then I'll see it done.

[infinitejustice]

In that case, I'll see you later. I enjoyed talking with you.

[Athrun begins to back away. He had more people to talk to and parts of the base to inspect, after all.]
