Meeting.

Sabine had arrived in the capital and gone straight to her office and had just sat down when one of the aides told her Admiral Zephyra was waiting in her office. "We have a new admiral?" asked Sabine. The aide said the previous admiral had resigned and Admiral Zephyrahad been appointed to the office. Sabine now had to re-think her planned meeting.

Sabine entered and the Admiral walked over and offered her a hand which Sabine took shaking it before letting go."Admiral, you have put me at a disadvantage I was prepared to tear into your predecessor but this is better." The admiral sat and looked at Sabine."Yes, he would have deserved it after the disaster of the exercise. I would appreciate your insights, General."

"Well, Admiral first the transports were misloaded. Cavalry cannot take open ground easily if unsupported by infantry. Infantry has to be loaded last so that they are first off onto the landing beaches. Then once they clear the beach the cavalry can land and harass the enemy rear. Also while the landings were taking place stores were beginning unloaded before the beach was secured."

Zephyra took it all in and smiled as she had come to the same conclusions._ "One suggestion I have General is that the army quartermaster should be in charge of correct loading." _Sabine was going to suggest this but that had been taken out of hands. She was beginning to like this officer she seemed to know what she talking about. They adjourned the meeting and said their goodbyes.

Sabine headed out telling her aide she was going to visit the queen if she was needed. She then made her way to the banquet hall and found Arerto sitting alone. As soon Arerto saw her she stood and ran to Sabine and hugged and kissed her both their tongues dueling as their lips met. Breaking the kiss Arerto led Sabine to the table and they both sat and chatted.

They both played footsie under the table while be served their dinner which they hardly touched as they both had other things on their minds and it was not food. After the table had been cleared Arerto said that Sabine must be tired so they both headed upstairs to Arerto's chambers. Both disrobed and lay on the bed Sabine cradled in Arerto's arms her head on the queen's shoulder.
