  Tim sat in the ale-house of Loritown, looking into the dark brown lager in 
his mug.
  For the past few days, he had been coming the ale house in the evening, 
enjoying a mug or two before calling it a night and getting some sleep. The 
moogle activity had greatly dropped down. No more forays were made into the 
Veldt Forest, and the Doman forces were able to go further and further out. 
This meant that fewer units were needed to scout, and the result was not as 
many soldiers were needed to go out and scout. All welcomed this as a rest.
  As Tim sat, spacing out. Hisel walked in and ordered an ale as well. He 
walked over and sat down next to Tim, surprising his sergeant major.
  "Oh, hello sir," said Tim. Hisel nodded, taking a sip.
  "Well, orders came in," said Hisel, a slight grin on his face. "And the 
brigade has orders to move. The moogles couldn't make it through the forest, 
so they are moving their troops back to the west and will likely being 
trying sorties in that region again."
  "Okay," said Tim. "I'll prepare the men to move tomorrow, if you don't 
mind."
  "There is one thing though, Tim," said Hisel. His look became serious. 
"You can go with the brigade as it's sergeant major, or you can go to Doma 
and assume command of a new brigade as it's Lieutenant. What do you want?"
  Tim's eyes went wide in amazement. "Are you serious?!"
  Hisel was sipping his ale and nodded.
  Tim reached over and grabbed Hisel's shoulder. "Oh wow, man! That is 
amazing. But why?"
  Hisel chuckled. "Well, I, my captain, and his major have all agreed that 
you are a capable commander and know how to be a lieutenant. Also, you have 
taught me a thing or three and the army could use more capable commanders 
like yourself."
  Tim smiled broadly. "Oh please, you're stoking me ego too much now."
  Hisel chuckled. "You can take whatever men you want from the brigade, 
except the sergeants. I'll need one of them to be the new sergeant major, 
and a corporeal to replace him. Also, you'll have a month to train the men. 
And maybe more time, unless you are needed."
  Tim nodded. "Yeah. I'll need a sergeant major, four sergeants, and then 
eight corporeals. I think I'll make Martin a corporeal. He's ready." Tim 
paused. "And Mayce as my sergent major. He's not quite ready, but with a 
month to prepare, I'm sure he will learn the ropes."
  Hisel nodded. "Yes, that could work. You know what, I think you'd better 
take one of the sergeants. It'll be a lil difficult for me, but you'd better 
do it."
  Tim nodded. "Then Jayel." He smiled. "He's been with me from the beginning 
and he's done it all. He knows what to do, and is ready for it."
  "Good," said Hisel. He raised his mug. "It was good working with you, 
Tim."
  Tim followed his example. "And you, sir. I hope we see each other again." 
They touched mugs and drank.
