There was no visible change to the Commander's expression, he seemed to neither be satisfied nor disappointed by this explanation. Every word he had just been fed was being thoroughly chewed on and processed, until one in particular stood out like a piece of bone in an otherwise pleasant meal. "Justice?" He scoffed. "This was a crusade for the sake of your pride. To prove betraying you wouldn't end well. Enlighten me, how many people did we lose trying to appease your bruised ego?" While the manner in which these words were conveyed was perfectly polite, there was a bitter undertone of contempt that could easily be picked up on.
Things could only go downhill from here because not only did this brute act without any sort of oversight, he had run away from a fight he picked. If the intention was to show as little weakness as possible then not only was this a near-fatal failure, but it proved the image he sought to so violently dispel.
