Ascending Legend
This was an excellent day for Iandre and all the men and women of the Order. It gave them hope for a future and a position to pursue it. She smiled at them and followed Laphisto out, along with everybody else. For several long moments, she stood in a line, smiled, and thanked people as they congratulated her on her promotion. It was both heartening and a little bittersweet.
In her time, she'd never been to a ceremony like this. Instead, the soldiers were clones produced on an assembly line and were ready for war. They got field promotions often enough, and Iandre had led a few on missions. As the progression got shorter, she started looking around for some familiar faces.
She saw Zinayn and Rellik chatting to the side with Aknoby, who quickly made himself scarce, and she couldn't help but chuckle at his antics. This feeling of being welcome and loved by this family they had created made Iandre feel more at home than at any other time in her life.
Eventually, they were able to escape and begin mingling with one another. Giving each of her squad a hug, she left them to do as they pleased and started making her way to Rellik. While she walked, her eyes never stayed still. Watching the different groups form, she had a friendly smile. Getting stopped now and then on her way to her love was fine, and she chatted with no small number of Lilaste and Diarchy members.
Turning to look at Saul when he spoke up, she stopped to listen. This was something she could get behind and support. Joining in with the singing chorus, she finally made her way to her partner. Meeting his golden eyes, she tried to keep her grin in check and failed completely.
"Do you think we can convince them to play something I can sing and we can dance once again? You do make the best moves, and I'd like to enjoy them again."
