Interlude – Embria  “Wake up, ladies! What are you complaining about? We’re waking up at dawn, not before! This is the height of luxury. Now, present your gear and so help me, anyone who isn’t ready for a scrap I will feed to Captain Vell for breakfast! Stand to attention!”
Interlude – Embria  She peered into the pot. The Drake sitting across from her, [Captain] Vell, a sharp-tongued Drake with yellow scales, eyed the Gnoll under her command, Lieutenant Kesa.
Interlude – Embria  Embria raised a claw. Vell skimmed one across the table. A Gnoll [Captain] leaned back reflexively and scowled as he reached for his plate. Embria caught the biscuit without missing a beat. Kesa sighed through her nose.
Interlude – Embria  Vell got up and reached for her belt pouch. She slapped a handful of hard, brown, objects onto Kesa’s plate. The other officers eyed the objects dubiously; Vell was known to pull a lot out of her belt pouches, and it was very rarely wise to eat what came out.

Interlude – Embria  Vell shrugged.
Interlude – Embria  All of the [Soldiers] stared at Vell. She scowled.
Interlude – Embria  She glared at Kesa. The Gnoll hesitated, but Vell was her superior. The things you did for rank. Embria watched sympatheticall as Kesa delicately popped three of the bean-things into her mouth and began to chew. Embria heard some loud crunching, and then Kesa made a face. She took a gulp of tea as Embria sipped hers.
Interlude – Embria  Vell nodded. She spilled more beams onto the table from a pouch dedicated to holding them.
Interlude – Embria  “You keep anything else you want to share in one of those pouches, Vell?”
Interlude – Embria  Vell scowled and placed a hand over her belt.
Interlude – Embria  “Aw, come on Vell. Not everyone saves their coin—”
Interlude – Embria  The Drake sighed and raised a finger. Vell threw a biscuit at him. It bounced off of another Gnoll’s head and he glared around. Vell shrugged apologetically. Then she turned to Embria.

Interlude – Embria  Embria glanced up from her second helping. Vell nodded.
Interlude – Embria  Half the officers in the mess glanced at Vell. Embria could see the missing spots where some of her officers and friends should have been. Vell didn’t blink twice, though. After a beat, Embria replied.

Interlude – Embria  Vell gets her wish?”
Interlude – Embria  The other two [Captains] in the room, Vell and Igissi, laughed. Wikir grinned toothily and one of the Drakes under Pielt’s command covered her eyes with her claws. Sergeant Fika shook her head despairingly.
Interlude – Embria  Pielt turned to his subordinate as the table laughed even harder. He glared at Wikir and Vell.
