Lunise looked ahead, keeping her hands gently on Meesei's shoulders from behind her. "Let me address you point by point, there. First of all, Teroiah is going to be the commander of the Thalmor battlegroup sent into Oblivion with us and the Imperials. You will be working alongside her either way. This does not mean she will remain without demotion after the mission, simply that she will remain commander for now."

Sliding her hands away, Lunise walked gracefully across to another seat. She lifted it by the back and faced it towards Meesei, before seating herself down. "As for challenging the higher ranks, I must recommend against it. And only because I can see you are not happy with them. The Thalmor do not operate upon a culture of honour based upon martial strength, not amongst themselves. Your challenge against Teroiah is a challenge against the organisation, not against an individual. If you wish to challenge the individuals above Teroiah, they will most likely decline, seeing you as below them. And even if they agreed, you would be making more enemies than friends, I am afraid. You do not need any more of them."

Lunise took on a gentler voice. "But, you have a way with words and a tendency to surprise me. You may find a way in the end."
