20,000 years later-Aizens return (accepting/started)

[.:Blu:.]

Hearing Nagoro's question, Iyusaka's usual composure disappeared, leaving him with a serious expression. Iyusaka didn't say anything however, he just seemed to be in thought. After hearing Fuyu's comment on the subject, Iyusaka looked at Fuyu and Nagoro with a serious expression. "In a sense, you can can say that it was from a captain. However, I'm afraid this captain has gone beyond the capabilities of us captains and has even blurred the line between a shinigami and an almighty deity." Iyusaka explained.

Not being the one for poetic words, Kyoitake just decided to give Fuyu and Nagoro a straight answer. "Sosuke Aizen..." Kyoitake said, his expression unchanging. Kyoitake then placed his hand over his mouth to cleared his throat before talking again. "I'm pretty sure that you two have heard of him... correct?" Kyoitake asked.

Iyusaka then entered into the conversation. "I don't know if you two had heard this news, but Sosuke Aizen has been released after 20,000 years in imprisonment... But the part that surprises me the most is that Aizen still retains- no, his reiatsu may have even increased further than before being imprisoned. It's scary to think that an old man can still exceed over what most would consider an impossible limit. I'm weary of this situation..." Iyusaka explained.

"I don't know about you two, but I don't like the sound of Aizen being released... That's why I can't nap..." Kyoitake commented.

Armadura was returning to Las Noches to report his failed mission to find more Arrancar. More and more hollows tried to attack himbut his spirutal pressure killed them. "I'm hiding more than half of my spirutal pressure and they still can't touch me --- is there someone out there as strong as I am." Armadura thought back to when Aizen wanted to make him the number one espada but he refused. "Lord Aizen, I am truly sorry but I don't want to be the strongest I want someone to have more power than me even if I have to fool myself to allow this." Armadura continued to walk through Hueco Mundo when he arrived at Las Noches he decided to ask Aizen if he had any other orders for him.

[Hotaru987]

Both Nagoro and Fuyu glanced at each other. They both had heard about Sosuke Aizen's release from his captivity, and though neither of them wished to believe that someone like him could be causing this disturbance, it was the only thing that made sense. "I've heard stories about Aizen from when the soul reapers would talk about him, and from what Nagoro would tell me. It's frightening to think that Aizen could have gotten any stronger. But then again it would be foolish, and ignorant to not be ready to face that fact." Fuyu said a rather serious look on her face - a feat in itself was rare.

"The captain commander will probably call a meeting to disscuss this. I mean Aizen is most likely going to do something again." Nagoro put in standing behind Fuyu, and thankfully blocking the sun. "You know what thye say, a snake never changes his ways. It's breed into their nature to be sneaky and deceptively smart."

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

(Captains meeting? I never even thought about that. good idea.)

As Daichi spoke with Kasumi and Yerroth a hell butterfly flew past his head, it relayed a message from the head captain that a captains meeting would be taking place. At the same time other captains where receiving the same message from similar butterflies. "Well, it's about time. The guy was released a week ago, I don't see why Ryusei would wait so long to call a meeting about it." Meanwhile, in the 11th squad barracks, Arashi was still sparing with his squad members, as Arashi braught his wooden sword down for an attack the hell butterfly flew right in front of the blade, forcing Arashi to stop his attack. The squad member who had just been saved sighed with releif, thinking he would not be hit, only to receive a blow to have Arashi finish the attack as soon as the butterfly was out of the way. "A captains meeting? Your timming sucks." Arashi yelled at the hell butterfly. He threw down the wooden sword and, after having his vice captain retreive his zanpaktou, he left for the 1st squad barracks.

[Magnet Soldier]

"Oh, you dealt with it." Kazuki exclaimed, softly, as he landed - eerily silent - behind the Captain and V-captain of Gotei 5. "Guess I shouldn't have bothered." Kazuki said, looking towards the Arrancar. "I dont see why they have to do that." Kazuki stated, turning to face the hell butterfly. He sighed and looked up at the blue sky, barely a cloud in sight. He looked around at the others, specifically the fellow captain and nodded towards the 1st Gotei's squad barracks. "Guess we should get going, Captain Daichi-dono. Dont want to be late." Kazuki stated in a voice that did not suit his 15 year old appearence, even if he was quite tall. He was the youngest Captain among the Soul Society, and yet spoke as if he was one of the oldest. And was rarely heard speaking at all. Seemingly the exact opposite of fellow young captain, Captain Fuyu.
"Well, see you there, Captain Daichi-dono." Kazuki said, nonchalantly. "Vice Captain Kasumi, Vice Captain Yerroth." Kazuki nodded, disappearing from the scene. He appeared infront of the 1st Squad Barracks, all in one Shunpo, a testament to his title as the fast Shingami. He knocked on the Large door, wondering if any Captains were already there.

[TwilightSoul]

Yerroth smiled at both of the shinigami standing before him. " Please Captain Daichi and lieutenant Kasumi, there is no need to defend me. These four guards shows me a great deal of mercy, I am considered to be a monster after all. Just ask yourself if the two of you were to enter Hueco Mundo, would such mercy be presented towards you." He said in a sinister voice. Yerroth was soon interrupted by a hell butterfly, the butterfly circled around the group of shinigami's as it displayed a message. " Well it would seem that we are being summoned by the head captain. It was a pleasure chatting with you two, but I must be on my way. A meeting is one of the rare occasions were my chains are removed from me, but it does take qite a while to be removed." Yerroth smiled as the four guards escorted him away.

[TotalObelisk]

Kasumi frowned slightly as Yerroth's reply, once again turning the other cheek to his abusive guards. Kasumi took a few steps backwards, lamenting Yerroth's comment of being a monster. Unlike most other Soul Reapers Kasumi held significant respect towards Arrancar since she herself was raised by one, however she had yet to confess this to the rest of the Gotei 13 and had no plans to. Her attention was brought back when she noticed the hell butterfly, her face lighting up as she saw it flying about the captains' heads. Out of all creatures, butterflies where her favourite, as such she raised a hand allowing the creature to land upon it to relay its message. The butterfly finished its task and flew off, leading to a slightly dissapointed look upon Kasumi's face as it left to relay its message elsewhere.

[b][color=#ff93e3]"A captains....Meeting?"[/b][/color] She muttered.

She heaved a sigh, figuring it would be best for her to accompany her captain and so made to follow him to the 1st Squard barracks.

[GreyCat]

The hell butterfly drifted over and perched on Shun nose. His current hideaway was a secluded sakura tree hidden just under a overhang. A half finished report for the weekly lay beside his. He looked up at it curiously. Jiro appeared beside him with his flash step. Jumping a bit, Shun yawned and stretched. Gathering his things, he commented offhandedly. "So, the boss has decided to call a meeting, has he?"

"Yes. And I decided against searching for the newest point of your... research and followed the butterfly instead," Jiro said, handing Shun a few reports to add to his pile. "Sign here please."

"Sure, sure." Shun scribbled on the sheet without giving it a second glance. "So Ryusei wants to meet us know, right? No time to linger about?"

"Normally, a bit, but seeing as you insist on these ventures in these remote areas, we have to leave now if we don't want to be late," Jiro said. "Now move."

~~~~

"Captain!" Kyo roared, bursting into the room and causing the door to slide so hard to broke from it's rails. Here captain turned and looked at her with a bemused expression. A surgical saw of living world design was in his hands. "What are you doing this time!"

"Ah, Kyo. Have you come to watch the procedure?" Shimegane asked calmly. "I was just about to begin." Two shinigami lay on the tables before, upper body bare and a line marked around their shoulders.

"What are you planning to do with that saw?" she asked, composure regained.

"An experiment. I wish to see if I can successfully transplant limbs from one subject to another."

"No." She said the word with finality.

"But..." he ventured blandly.

"[u]No.[/u]" she said, with a bit more force.

"I even used Sin this time."

"[b]No.[/b]" Even Shimegane new when Kyo wouldn't budge. No matter. He would dose her tea with Sloth later and go ahead.

"Lieutenant, why do you interfere with my work? Do you wish to prevent me from achieving the heights my ancestor reached?" He put his saw down as he spoke. "Mayuri Kurotsuchi was a genus. He found a way to alter the zanpakuto, right down to the gender. I aim to do the same to the human body. Is that so wrong?"

"Yes. Ryusei-sama has called a meeting," she pointed to the butterfly flitting around her head. "We are going now captain. And I insist you wake those two before you leave."

[TwilightSoul]

A man walked down the halls of the elaborate squad one barracks. The man's arms was folded behind his back and a captains haori hung off his shoulders. The man's arms was not inserted inside of the haori's sleeves, but the haori looked very clean and pressed which showed that this man wore it with pride. The man continued to walk along the hall until the wind whispered a howling song. The man stoped walking and stood in place, he kept his composure. " Report" The man said in a calm yet strict tone. The shadows casted on the walls began to sway and mold into physical shapes. Soon three men emerged from the shadows as if they were exiting a body of water. The man with the haori kept his head foward and never gllanced at the men that appoached from the shadows. The men were dressed in all black and seemed well armed. When the three men approached the man in with the haori they immediately droped to one knee and bowed there heads. " The leader of the bekotu clan has been identified, captain" The man in black stated" The man with the haori had a red scarf covering his face from the nose down, but it did not seem to effect his speech. "Eliminate the target as planed." The man spoke once more but this time a hint of concern rested in his voice. " And what about the lieutenant?" The man in black answered quickly " The lieutenant is carrying out the mission as expected, captain." The man with the red scaf eyes narrowed. " Dismissed " With out standing the three men spoke all at once " Yes captain" and within a blink of an eye the three men vainshed in a cloud of smoke. The man who was adressed as a captain contined along the hall until he reached two large doors. The two large doors slowly swung open and the man entered the room. The man bowed his head down in a respectful manner. Within the room the head captain awaited, he spoke in a lound, clear , and proud voice. " Ah Captain Mitsuhide, I am glad that you have come. Please take your position" Mitsuhide rose to his feet "Yes sir" he said as he took his spot for the upcoming meeting.

[Hotaru987]

While waiting for either of the captains to speak Fuyu noticed a hell butterfly coming towards their direction. With a smile she held out her hand allowing the small, beautiful butterfly to land on her finger. Fuyu spoke out loud as it relayed the message, "Looks like I was right. All of the captains have been called for a meeting with the captain commander. Better late than never I suppose." She stated as the butterfly flew off.

"If that's the case then you will need this-" Nagoro reached into his robes and pulled out the white Haori, that belonged to Fuyu. How on earth he managed to hide it in his robes was beyond her, but either way she took the robe from him. From simply looking at the Haori you could tell that it used to be longeer. The sleeves and the tail of the robe had jagged edges from where Fuyu altered it. "Thank you Nagoro. Will you be walking there with us?"

She was surprised to see Nagoro trying hard to hold back tears. "It m-makes me s-so proud to see you wearing th-that!!" A sweatdrop could be seen on Fuyu's head as Nagoro continued to cry. He always did this when ever she had the Haori on. She only sighed before looking back at Iyusaka and Kyoitake, "Well then lets get going! We don't want to be the last ones there!"

Fuyu enjoied captain meetings, only because she got too see all of the captains at once. These people - whether they acknowladged it or not - were seen as family to her, and to see the people she cared about all at once made her happy. Now actually listening to what Ryusei had to say was the boring part. It was a merical she manages to stay awake. If they get their early enough she may be able to say high to all of the before the meeting started! Fuyu was smiling the entire time and practically jumping in place. She was ready to go!

"So proud..." Nagoro continued to sniffle still wiping the tears from his face.

[Dwarven King]

(OOC: Sorry for just placing you somewhere Brandon, lol. Also, Greed, this involves you.)

Doraga took a seat at the table located in the main room of Los Noches. Their search search for other Arancars yielded no results. Though there had to be at least one other. After all, he was number one, and Boukun was number three. That mean't number 2 was around there somewhere. The question was, where? Besides, he was sure Aizen would have recruited more than just three people.

Doraga stopped his thinking and looked over at Boukun who was pacing back and forth, obviously still a bit agitated at having to end their "spar". "Do you feel that?" asked Doraga. "It's a dense spiritual presence, and the person giving it off is heading straight for us. I think it's an Arancar's." Doraga thought for a second, then said "How about you let your spiritual pressure go erratic again. Then maybe this guy will come and see which stubborn fool it belonged too." and chuckled.

[Envoy of Twilight]

(( OOC: No prob, its cool ))

Boukun stopped pacing and glared at Doraga for the comment about his spiritual pressure, but did what he was asked to do anyway. "If this being is not an Arrancar, I'll kill him myself, is that clear? I mean, I'm a little angry about our unfinished business, but I suppose that will have to wait for some time in the future". He sighed. "I sure hope he gets here soon", he said, taking a seat at the large table. "Even if he is an Arrancar, I want to see for myself just how tough he is. I really am hoping its some unlucky Shinigami though, I mean, at least I'll be able to [i][b]finish[/b][/i] a battle with him, or her".

[Dwarven King]

"Quit your complaining. You know as well as I that if we had continued our battle, one of us would have died. And I'm pretty sure Aizen recruited us to kill someone else besides each other. So just have patience and be lucky I fought you as much as I did instead of just ignoring you. You will have someone strong to kill soon enough. In the mean time, learn some patience my friend. It will help you." Doraga then propped his arm up on the table and rested his chin on his hand. [i]"I wonder what orders Aizen is going to give us."[/i] he thought to himself.

[.:Blu:.]

Before Iyusaka could see anything, a hell butterfly can be seen making its way towards Fuyu. Not far away, two more hell butterflies made their way to the three captains and the one lieutenant's position. This time however, the hell butterflies were for Iyusaka and Kyoitake. The first hell butterfly landed on the tip of Iyusaka's finger after Iyusaka had held out his right hand. Kyoitake, however, did not held out his hand and thus the second hell butterfly did not land anywhere. Both captains got the message, and Iyusaka smiled hearing what Fuyu had said about her prediction being correct.

Seeing Fuyu taking her captain's position seriously and at the same time with excitement made Nagoro cried. Seeing this, Iyusaka smiled with a sweat drop appearing on his forehead. "Well then Lt. Sanamori, you must really be proud at this moment." Iyusaka stated, patting Nagoro on the back while he continued crying.

Kyoitake, on the other hand, remained his usual self. "Get a hold of yourself Nagoro..." Kyoitake said, a sweat drop also appearing on his forehead seeing Nagoro crying tears of joy. "*Sigh* A captain's meeting... great... Well, shall we get going?" Kyoitake asked even though he wasn't motivated to stand through another captain's meeting. Usually during these meetings, Kyoitake often gets in trouble by falling asleep in the middle of an important part.

Iyusaka on the other hand was quite different as he often contributes and discuss matters clearly through the entire meeting, putting all his attention on the matters being discussed. "Very well then, as Cpt. Hanae said, we don't want to be the last ones there, so let us go." Iyusaka said with a smile before walking off towards the 1st Division Barracks.

[Hotaru987]

Seeing that Nagoro would be crying for a while - he was such an emotion idiot sometimes - Fuyu decided to go on a head, "Yes! Let's get going to see the others!" She exclaimed jumping into the air, and punching her fist towards the sky. She ran forward but seeing that the other two were walking she stopped and began running in place and pointing towards their current direction. "Come on people! Move like you haven't been hibernating for the last 100 years!"

Meanwhile, Nagoro had finally stopped crying long enough to finally realize that the three captains were gone. "Where did they go?" He said, his head swiveling his head from side to side.

[Magnet Soldier]

Kazuki entered the 1st Squad barracks, nodding quickly to the low level Shinigami that had opened the door for him. The shinigami stiffened up, trying to look down on the child as if he wasn't a captain, but failed quite epically, almost breaking down in sweats. Kazuki, of course, ignored this. He was used to people trying to act stronger than him, having even been challenged a couple of times, but generally he ignored any insults or acting ups. Challenges, unless they were actually a challenge, he would also ignore. He sighed, before entering the great conference hall. He bowed to the captains already there, his facial expression not changing, before moving to stand in his place in the hall - ironically the position Toshiro Hitsugaya, the youngest Captain of Aizen's Generation, had stood.

[TwilightSoul]

Mitsuhide watched as captain Kazuki entered the grand hall. Mitsuhide noded his head slightly when Kazuki noded towards him, Mitsuhide could not help but stare at the captain. " So thats the captain of squad nine, Kazuki Nagemashi, after all of my years serving here as a captain I must admit I have not see that man much. He looks so young but he has bags over his eyes, I wounder could he be ill." Mitsuhide tought to himself. Mitsuhide's eyes narrowed as he watched the captain take his position and began thinking to himself again. " Hmmm this man irritates me. Either he is a sloth who keeps a low profile, or he knows how to evade my men. Nevertheless my men have failed to retrive any valuable info on him, i dont have any intel on this man and that could prove to be troubling." Mitsuhide tought.

[GreyCat]

Shun ambled into the grand hall shortly after. He was hastily tugging on his Haori, having dropped by his barracks to pick it up, and he still had some leaves and twigs in his hair. He quickly took his position across from Kazuki, calling a simple greeting o those already in place. He absently plucked the bits of foliage from his hair in an attempt to look like he hadn't just sprinted form the forest to get to the meeting in time. Not that his effort was really worth in. But at least he got his next article finished before the deadline. Now he was free to consider more serious things. Like the meeting's potential topic. Aizen. He did not want anything to do with that man. Just the thought of him made something dark stir within him.

Outside the hall, Jiro sat in the small room where the lieutenants traditionally waited for their captains following the meetings. It didn't take a genius to figure out what was the current item of interest, and he wasn't a dumb person. Though all had been quiet since Aizen was released, that didn't neam anyting. If his last boasting were to be believed, (and considering the records stated he explained them after beating the majority of the gotei 13's captains into submission, they most likely were,) he had been implementing stages in his last plans for over 200 years. It was only a matter of time before he made his move.

Somewhat reluctanlly, Shimegane strode into the hall. He trailed the smell of strange chemicals and solutions and smelt like a morgue; all disinfectants and embalming fluid like scents. Even his way of walking invoked the image of strangeness. He took hi position without comment and waited with an annoyed look on his face. Kyo joined Jiro in outside the hall, but stood close enough to the door that she would be able to overhear some of the conversations coming from inside.

[greedx]

Armadura entered the main room of Las Noches and saw two other arrancar but he didn't want to talk to them so he decided to take his seat and keep quit. Then he started to think to himself [i]"I've cut my spirutal pressure down by over half...and they still felt it...I guess it's best to keep it like this for now."[/i] Armadura noticed that one of the arrancar had the number "1" tattooed on him. [i]"So Aizen gave him number one huh?... then what number is this other arrancar? I'll find out soon enough."[/i]

[.:Blu:.]

Seeing the captain's energetic nature, Iyusaka smiled and also gained the idea of being as energetic as well. But let's face it, a mature and respectable captain such as Iyusaka would probably look pretty silly performing such antics as the younger Fuyu. "Well Cpt. Hanae, your rousing spirit has gotten me wilded up. Very well then, let's depart with haste." Iyusaka agreed to picking up the pace for Fuyu. Iyusaka is a man who enjoyed making others happy especially if its the youthful. He believes that having an outgoing nature when your younger is a virtue, and that one should enjoy it while it lasts. Though being of a more mature age than the other captains albeit Kyoitake who's older than Iyusaka, in Shinigami standards, Iyusaka was not by any means an old man. This is also proven by his rather youthful appearance.

Kyoitake, on the other hand, acts more older, physically-wise, than he actually is. "Ugh, I don't like running when I don't need to. It's not like we're going to war, and even if we were, one shouldn't be so eager to die unless dying is what one lives for." Kyoitake explained, his words being philosophical but his tone is the same old unmotivated one.

Hearing what Kyoitake had just said, Iyusaka chuckled. "My, it's a rare sight to see you walking around, but it's even more rare hearing you being so poignant." Iyusaka mentioned.

"What can I say, I'm a man of many faces..." Kyoitake dryly joked. "Well, I guess I can make one exception today since I can't nap anyways. Hope you two can keep up..." Kyoitake said before disappearing in an instant, three times faster than someone can blink. Though on the outside, Kyoitake appears sluggish and slow energy, he is actually one of the faster captains of the Gotei 13 only being beaten by the current 2nd Division Captain and a few others.

"Well then, shall we get going m'lady?" Iyusaka asked with a smile.

[Hotaru987]

Fuyu was surprised when Kyoitake suddenly vanished from his spot so fast Fuyu wasn't even sure she had the chance to blink for not. "Well at least I didn't have to drag him all the way there." She said before grinning at Iyusaka, "Yes I am, see you there!" She winked and giggled before vanishing in her own shunpo. She arrive not too long after Kyoitake, and upon seeing that the majority - if not all - of the captains she enthusiastically yelled, "Hello everyone!!" Which was followed by an overdramatic wave of her hand. She noticed the two vice captains - Kyo and Jiro - standing outside of the door, "Morning, it's nice to see you both on this beautiful day." She was quick to go inside and take her spot, noticing that Kyoitake was already there though he looked about ready to fall asleep standing.

Fuyu hoped that she would be able to stay awake enough to not get in trouble. These meetings were always so boring - more so than paperwork. At least she could sit down while doing paper work. She looked around and saw that Koichi Shimegane was standing close to her - about one spot down - looking as annoyed as ever, especially when he was inturrupted during one of his strange experiments. He always had the smell of strange chemicals and death, despite being the captain of the medical unit. It was almost strange that someone like him would be the captain of that group instead of something like the research department, but it didn't really matter to her. Fuyu still smiled at him, "Hello captain Shimegane!"

[Envoy of Twilight]

As Boukun watched the Arrancar enter the room, he sighed. "So it is an Arrancar...how disappointing", he said as he sighed once more. "To be honest, I was hoping you were going to be some unlucky Shinigami, but I suppose that was a little much to wish for". Boukun eyed the Arrancar carefully. "I suppose we might as well get out introductions out of the way. I am Boukun Tokage, Espada number three. Of the Espada, I have the strongest Hierro", he said as he put his right hand up, to shake hands with the new Arrancar. "And you are?"

[TwilightSoul]

Yerroth walked down the halls of the squad one barracks without any chains or physical restraints. Yerroth grew a slight yet sinister smile across his face when he walked away from his four guards. The guards held an angry expressions upon their faces, because they knew that during a squad meeting Yerroth was able to be released from his physical restraints. "Dam that demon" one of the guards muttered to the other. Yerroth continued to walk down the halls, he soon turned the coner and saw the ieutenant's meeting hall. He entered the room and approached the two lieutenants and a smile came across his face. " Well if it isent lieutenant Jiro of squad four and ieutenant kyo of squad ten." Yerroth stared at both of the ieutenants with his bright yellow eyes. " I am sure the days have been treating both of you well." Yerroth scrached the area of his head where his horns emerged from with his long nails. Yerroth rested his back aginst a wall as he streched. " I wounder what could be keeping the other ieutenants."

[Magnet Soldier]

((Kazuki is faster!!! Mwahahaha!!!(Then again, he's about 14. So damn.)))

Kazuki nodded towards Kyoitake as he entered the room, looking rather sluggish as normal. Although they did see him during meetings, and he was rarely late to be perfectly honest, it was common to see him tired, worn out and to be honest, rather lazy. And he always complained of being tired, which annoyed Kazuki, and about bags under his eyes. He had none at all that Kazuki could see, unlike himself. However, Kyoitake was still a powerful man, and reminded Kazuki of the Reports of Kyoraku, an incredibly powerful Shinigami capable of defeating an Espada in Shikai, while still being very lazy. Kazuki sighed and nodded toward Fuyu, someone who didn't actually annoy him, but put him off from work and other things. She always seemed to be active and energetic, usually making all but the serious Captains smile. Which surprisingly, didn't include Kazuki. Most people presumed he was serious. Kazuki never argued, but disagreed with it inside. "Who are we waiting for now then? Captain Iyusaka, Daichi and Arashi?" Kazuki asked.

[GreyCat]

Shimegane looked down on Fuyu in both senses of the word. She had that happy, optimistic attitude that he loathe so much. She may be a captain, but that didn't mean she was worth his attention. The only thing that made her more valuable than a bug was her potential as a patient. Hm, note: next time she stopped by his offices, he would infect her with those monitoring bacteria his ancestor perfected. He would get some interesting data from her. But he supposed she would require an answer from him. "Yes, Subject 6'; Fuyu Hanae," he said flatly. "To what reason do I owe your attention this time?"

~~

Both Jiro and Kyo looked up at Yerroth, then at each other. Jiro spoke up first. "You have use mixed up again," he said. "I am 10 squad lieutenant. Kyo in the lieutenant for the 4th squad." Jiro smiled secretly. He though looking after Shun was bad enough, but Kyo had to watch Shimegane day and night. Poor girl had bitten off more than she could chew. Kyo raised an eyebrow. She and Jiro often got drinks together so she new where his thoughts were going, but chose not to comment.

"The other lieutenants are most likely either wasting time or being held back by their captains," she suggested in response to Yerroth's last comment. "They rarely see the need for any professionalism in their actions."
