:: Lyse slips on the form fitting uniform as she carefully manuevers her wings into the slits ::
:: Afterwards, she looks at herself in the full-length mirror and grins as she sees that the uniform has accentuated certain parts of her physique as she cracks a bit of a smile ::
"Oooo .. this looks to good to be a uniform ... hugs everything ... but loose enough to move ... I like"
:: She preens herself a bit more and nods as she makes her way out of the room and heads down the stairs and announces to Gem ::
"Okay. Ready."

:: Gem comes back out with a cup of coffee in hand as he sees Lyse coming down the stairs and smiles ::
"Ah ... you look great! Uniform fits well I see. I had Sienne help with it though .. since I'm no good with taking measurements from sight alone. But you will make this Army proud and look good doing it"
:: He chuckles ::
"Hey, why not go meet the troops. Show off the uniform. We'll talk in a bit. I have some things I need to take care of"
:: He nods as he moves back into the kitchen ::

:: Lyse nods and smiles at hearing Gem's appraisal ::
"Thanks again Gem. I'll go and do just that. Let me know when you want to sit down and go over strategies"
:: With that she bows towards Gem mockingly and snickers ::
"I shall take my leave M'Lord"
:: And heads out the door ::

Ritanya sees Lyse appear from within the building, and floats down behind her before appearing from within the shadows. "New outfit?" she asked with a smile.

:: Gem shakes his head lightly as he makes his way back into the kitchen as the wounds on his midsection starts to itch again. He didn't want to alert anyone to the fact that he had been injured ::
:: With Lyse now out of the house, he could spend a moment to relax a bit ::
:: Sitting down at the kitchen table, he lifts his shirt up and undoes the bandaging again to make sure the scarring was not getting infected ::
"Crap .. that panther dug into me ... should have been more careful"
:: Getting up and going over to a nearby drawer as he opens it and rummages around and finds an emergency kit as he replaces the gauzing with fresh ones ::

:: Lyse turns around with a start and eases back as she sees Ritanya standing behind her ::
"By the Spirits Above! You scared me!"
:: Lyse mockingly holds a hand to her chest and smiles ::
"Yes. Gem had it made for me"
:: She stands with her hands on her hips, as she tilts her head back slightly and closes her eyes 'striking a pose' ::
"Whatcha think?"

Ritanya looked on with a sly grin. "Breathtaking," she said in a hushed voice, before approaching Lyse. "It looks... damn good on you," she said with a smile, kissing her on the cheek.
"So, where were you off to before I waylaid you?"

:: Lyse smiles as Ritanya kisses her as she relaxes ::
"I was actually going to make my rounds again. Talk to some of the other villagers to find out how much training they're going to need. Most of them have the basics, but a lot more are young ... younger than me. They're the ones that are going to need it the most. If you want, you can take a walk with me or you can go inside. Gem's making breakfast. I'm sure he won't mind you going in. It's not going to take me long"

Ritanya smiled at Lyse, wrapping her arm around Lyse's to let her escort her. "Well, if it's all the same to you, I'll tag along with you," she said with a smile.

:: Lyse smiles and enjoys the closeness of Ritanya as their arms link together ::
"Good. Let's get going then"
:: Lyse leads the way as they walk off the porch and head towards the white tents near the edge of the field as Lyse starts pointing out things she's noticed ::
"That group over to the left are mostly the adults. I've had them working on getting weapons together. The women have been helping with armor. Those over by the right are the younger ones. No training whatsoever. but they have spirit. I'll give them that much."

Ritanya watched the younger ones especially... thinking of how their innocence would be lost soon, much like hers had been much earlier than it should have been. Silent tears fell down her cheeks as she watched, then wiped her eyes and looked back at Lyse with a smile. "How is the planning going?"

:: Gem sensing the presence of someone else outside, leaves the kitchen and takes a peek out of the side window as he sees Ritanya and Lyse leaving off the porch together arm in arm ::
"Well ... ain't that nice. Good. At the very least Ritanya will keep Lyse occupied until I get back. I hate having to use so much of my energy especially while I'm hurt, but I have to get back to the Defiant or Sienne will kill me if she doesn't find me there"
:: He sighs as he leaves from the window and opens a portal and steps into it and disappears ::

:: Lyse doesn't notice Ritanya crying but senses something but doesn't speak on it ::
"Umm .. the planning is going. Edwin has been helpful in that respect. Given that he is one of the older ones and has had more experience. He's been working with the younger ones. Training them in hand-to-hand combat and using their powers of transforming from humanoid to feline. It's progressing, but slow. He's actually quite the strategist. He told me that he had to employ alot of it when he had to track down Gem one time. That's a story in itself. He wouldn't elaborate on it though"

Ritanya nodded, then looked over at Lyse. "Am I bothering you? Everything seems so busy over here, I hate to think I'm keeping you from the important matters."

:: Lyse pulls on Ritanya's arm closer to her ::
"No. You are not bothering me one bit. Please, don't ever think that. I love your company. If anything between Edwin and Sienne, the two of them have been really taking care of things. Making sure morale is high. As they explained to me, my job is simple. Leading them into battle. It's a scary thought, but they have confidence in me and that makes me feel comforted in a way."
:: Lyse rests her head on Ritanya's arm ::
"Hey, why don't we leave for a while. Go back to the Lunar Hope. Things look okay around here"
