Marod rested his curled finger on his chin while he listened. He tapped his thumb on his chin, thinking.

"Hmm," he began. "Well, if you are asking for legionnaires, there may be...complications. You see, officers prefer to at least be privy to battle plans, the strategies used, and so on. In fact, for such an important mission, they should very much like to be in charge of such plans. Would you be willing to...how should I say this...acquiesce to certain final decisions with regard to both the legion soldiers we may provide, as well as your own men?"

"Are you asking the champion to hand over command of the invasion?" Oswall asked.

Marod winced and sucked in a breath. "I doubt they will [i]ignore[/i] the champion's counsel. They simply prefer to be under their own command. The legion is clannish like that, I am afraid." He gestured to Lunise. "I would expect nothing less from the Dominion, either, to be clear. You must understand, taking orders from an outsider to the legion is hard to put into convincing terms."
