Landon didn't miss the thank-you from Mirage, and he smiled graciously in response - it had been his genuine intent to help smooth out the situation, and he figured a punch in the face was worth a smile from a pretty girl.  And it might be worth it to follow up with her later, after the group was done with the dungeon.  Out of the ladies so far, this was the most promising lead...

Then the conversation changed themes a few times, and he found himself listening to the proposal of serious tactics.  His own RL experience in the military supported the practicality of Ebon's idea, and he decided to take a risk and suggest a plan that might have a decent payoff...

"Okay, fireteams, that makes sense," Landon agreed, inserting himself back into the conversation smoothly.  "And, while Graves is a [i]jerk[/i], I think we can all agree that he was also the first one to point out that we needed to form up and avoid being a target - he speaks from experience, so I nominate him to be the leader of the first fireteam, which I suggest should consist of Vulcan, Hawkwood, and Thael.  Graves can take the front, Thael the rear, with the other two covering the flanks.

"The other fireteam," he continued, in his usual swift patter, "will consist of Rael, Red, Mirage, myself, Elian, Ebon, and Tif.  Rael in front, Ebon in the rear, with Mirage and I in the middle providing ranged support, Red being [i]fire[/i] support, and El doing her healy thing.  We'll also be able to cover Graves's team with our ranged attacks and provide healing and buffs as needed, and make up for our relative lack of tank armor with numbers.  Any questions?"
