"We do." She agreed, but already in her mind she was paring that with the effectiveness of one who could work outside the boundaries of orders. If one took some license with method, tactic it would disarm those who expected a certain way of thinking. It could easily give advantage and be harder to predict. It was sound logic and she would hold on to it. "I understand. It is another strategy, when others are not available. Like the dance if your partner misses a step you must be ready to compensate creatively or the grace is lost."

She equated it to what she knew and it made sense to her. She could accept this and make it part of her training as well, look outside the given objective and plan to see other options, variables and outcomes.

She brightened when he said he would return, she wasn't entirely sure why but it pleased her, as did his smile. "I will see you then." And obediently she scooted down in her bed and pulled the covers up. He bid her good night and that was her order to sleep. She trusted him to close the window behind him and she tucked a hand under her cheek, curled on her side she watched him as he departed. He will return, her smile only faded after she drifted off to sleep.
