The strategic acquisition of allies is certainly encouraged. [It's said quite blandly.] It encourages cohesion across the various arms of the Empire. The whole thing is rather mercenary.

[lifetothefullest]

[That sounds logical for kingdoms and alliances in the setting, but somehow not for what he knows of the Empire. Especially since wouldn't they just expect people to shank their significant others.]

I'm still going to guess that's the lie. Or else it's something like that there is no 'Admiral' rank in the Navy.

We have fleet admirals. However, the man I outpaced would not be promoted for several years.

[She's still a little proud of that now.]

I disliked the commander who propositioned me. It would not have been a good match.

[lifetothefullest]

I'm shocked.

[That it wouldn't have been a good match. He somehow doesn't see most matches with Maketh working out, with the possibility of a rare exception.]

I will have you know I would have made an excellent spouse.

[She sniffs.]

Just not to some brute in the armored division with no concept of subtlety.

[lifetothefullest]

[Okay, that's kind of hilarious, but he manages to avoid making it too obvious he thinks that.]

Of course. At least one of you would need subtlety for the relationship to work.

[He just makes up for the lack of obvious amusement by use of obvious sarcasm.]

Your sense of humor will get you shot one day, Doctor Sweets. I pity whoever has to clean up the mess.

You may think me cruel, but my methods were considered measured in the Empire. Unlike some, I do not solve problems by first calling in an air strike.

[lifetothefullest]

Maybe I like to think that people have more control over themselves than to resort to those methods just because of some words.

[Not that he actually thinks that, it's just another jab.]

I'm sure that's true. But your methods not being as bad as someone else's doesn't suddenly mean they're good.

[mismanagement]

Yes, I suppose you would like to think that.

[Hopelessly sentimental.

She frowns at him.]

I did not say they were good. They are necessary. There is a difference.

[lifetothefullest]

There is, although I was using the phrase more to demonstrate the point than as an accurate description of your specific actions.

[mismanagement]

You wish to argue semantics? Really?

[lifetothefullest]

I can, but no. I'd prefer if you just got the point.

[mismanagement]

You are possibly the most frustrating man I have ever met. And I have spent time with Hux.
