I'm hoping to grab some time tomorrow to write it.

Can you even follow chaos? Wouldn't that require organization, leading you away fro chaos?

And really, plans drawn up well before the specifics of any situation come about are always real winners.

True, but that was the hard-ass, pro-torture administration. Now we have the bleeding heart socialist administration. I suppose bipartisanship is way down either way...

Did he volunteer to pay for all of the broken office furniture in that conversation? Someone's going to get splinters...

Maybe, but I'd like to think that the second one might include some combat training if they're going to be leading people into battle...

Sadly, I'm not sure if he knew her before then, although they may have met when Beth was Vizh's next door neighbor...
