Brasidas was found attempting to get a few hours of sleep before the column rose at the first light of the sun. He dreamed about a buxom boreas woman he knew back at home, though why she was on his mind he couldn't fathom. She was with child from another man, and Brasidas had not seen her in seven years. He grumbled irritably when his sentry shook his shoulder, but at the man's insistence and relaying the information that a Miravet had come to summon him, he got to his feet with a growl. He might have dreamed of a woman, but unlike most of his soldiers, he didn't see Miravet as women. Just slim soldiers; people he was responsible for, at least in part. 

Donning his cloak, he followed zoe back to the tent and striding in, listening to Phaedra's pronouncement and looking at the newcomer. He stared at them both, stony faced. It was a stark echo of when they looked him after he had reprimanded Eudoxia. Zoe walked past him again to stand with her commander, glancing Brasidas's way, curious too on how he might react. 

"His daughter," he said, weighing the words. There were various implications for good or bad with that acknowledgement. Truthfully, if Phaedra wanted her, he wouldn't be able to stop her if he felt it the wrong choice taking her in. The Gods seemed to be testing them, or giving a boon. Either way, he wished they would stop. He would rather simply fight a war and be done with it. "You can take on whatever recruit you want, Protos Kapetanos. Though the Satrap will be on our heels far more doggedly if you take her with you. I've got a feeling the Ashvari people feel a bit more strongly against women warriors than the Empire, particularly their daughters."

He gave Tachmeena Al'Suren Daeva a grave look, raising an eyebrow when he looked at her two servants. "And you, lady Daeva, you know how to ride and fight, and you're willing to die for those who came to conquer your country?" He inquired, crossing his muscled arms. Indicating the servants, he shook his head. "You'll have to get rid of these, unless you think you're owed an officer's rank."
