Delgado shook his head slightly at the barrage of questions. He was tired, he wanted to sleep, and he was tired of superiors who had to ask a ton of questions. He managed to sit up straighter in his saddle and then took a breath.

"The Cornet is alive. I was dispatched as part of a smaller patrol, three of us. We were attacked by a unit of five lancers and at least twice as many infantry. I don't know how many others there were." He took another breath and then continued. "As for why he disobeyed you? I don't know sir."

He fell silent and sagged back in his saddle again.
