[b][u]Lieutenant Karras[/u][/b]

The Lieutenant's glare only deepened. The exaggerated way the man spoke and saluted almost seemed mocking, though it could simply be him desperately trying to compensate for his previous actions. "Permission denied." He said at once, before his voice lowered - enough for those nearby to hear him clearly, but not the entire Bandon. "Should I catch you issuing an unwarranted punishment in the future, you will be expected to bear the punishment yourself." He paused, before adding: "And it is pronounced 'sir.' After all your years in the army you should know that." With that, he turned his attention back to training the Bandon.

Again, Milos was not soft in his training. He worked the men hard, and should one of them fail or do something punishable, he would not hesitate to punish or discipline them as required. But when it came to random or unwarranted punishment, he drew the line - it was neither just nor fair nor lawful to punish a man who had not committed any sort of offense, and in the long run would only turn the men against him.

As for Ioannis, if the corporal acted up again, Milos would stay true to his pledge. The Lieutenant also kept a closer eye on the man, having lost a great deal of trust and respect for him. Milos might still be open to his advice, but his actions and words were definitely under increased scrutiny.
