Jintao kept his muscles tight, waiting for the mockery: The quick remarks turning his dignity to dust and the laughter of victory nipping in every place possible. Ember said nothing of last night's trouble, but kept it strictly to the issue at hand, which was nothing like anyone from the
Destruction. Jintao held his breath for only but a moment. He'd treat her with the same respect for more than her higher rank. That is, if she could keep herself in a manner worthy of receiving it.
"I'm aware," Jintao gave her a tilt of his hat. Saying otherwise would be weak. He motioned his head toward Gecko, who was crawling to his feet. "I've told him his punishment. It is now up to him to carry it out. I'll be following up with Galen later to see if he does, and if he doesn't, I'll take it up with the Captain myself."
