Lethe leaned against a tree in the rear of the gathering. He could barely hear his sister, but then again he didn't really need to. They'd discussed the speech that she'd give to the ragtag gathering in their camp several nights ago.
"No! Fighting as you have, single and separate you will all die!!" Leena insisted as yet another rallyist demanded they continue with their idiotic tactics. "And though you claim you will willingly die for our cause, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying! You will die like a dog for no good reason!!" She was met with silence as she took a few slow cooling breaths to stall her seething.
She started in again before they could regain their arguments. "However we will not give in." She insured them. "We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in all of Falmour, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend with earth and Fire, and we shall take whatever cost may comeā¦ we shall never surrender!" Cheers went up as she built momentum and confidence with her words. She loved the way she could sway a croud with only a few meager words.
She smiled agreeably as she steped down from her dias. The crowd split as she left her post some grumbling in anger, some cheering, and some glaring at her for all they were worth. She did see a good many calmly discussing her ideas and looked to her brother in worry.

John stood in a circle of people shirtless with a bloody lip."Come on Walter is all that you got."He taunted the other man as he spit blood out of his mouth."You've seen me box you know you can't win."John easily doged another one of the mans jabs."Oooooooo close, you almost scared me with that one."Walter launched a wild Haymaker. John blocked strike after strike. The men around began to cheer Walter on."Hey you got the crowd cheering for you Walter."John ducked an incoming blow. John gave an uppercut to his chin before he could react. Walter swayed back and forth uneasily on his feet. John smirked and ran at him at full speed. He jumped and punched Walter in his Solar Plexus knocking him out."Hahahahaha alright give up your money."John went around collecting the winnings. He went back to his shirt put it back on and lit a cigerate."Well see you later boys."He began to laugh again as he walked away from the crowd of people.

Lethe pushed his way into the circle of people. He applauded to gt their attention. "Nice fight." He told the man sounding bored. "No knowyou weren't hoping on keeping those winnings were ya?" He smirked and crossed his arms. He was known as The fastest fighter in theresistance and could memorize and overcome any apponent's fighting style within ten minuets of a fight. He began unbuttening his shirt. "Let me teach you the reason everyone here refuses to bet againsed me." He smiled as Leena shook her head no. He'd ignore her now and get yelled at later. "Now I know you weren't distracting these ignorant numbskulls from my precious sister's rivoting speech just then were you?" He took up a fighting stance,perfectly balanced and strong yet easily and quickly manuvered from. "Bcause, that you jackass, is very rude."
He grinned and gestured to the boy to come at him. "You have the first move. That is if you dare." Lethe know it wasn't imposible for him to be caught. infact he was sure this guy was capable of it. but he was confident that once he could grab hold ofthis brute's technics as he'd began to at the end of the last fight. this one would go down. even if it tok a little efort on his part. "I'll warn yo though, I fight only a fair as my aponent." And with that Lethe jumpedonto a boulder. "ready if you are"

John smirked, and saluted Lethe."Sorry sir, this man attacked me first."He took a deep draft of his cigerette, and blew it out of his nose."The betting started after the fight began, it wasn't attentional. Though I did partake in the betting."He placed his cigarette untop of his ear."And Rivoting sir?"He asked smirking."Not to insult your sister, but it was a little of a brutal speech..... Permission to speak freely sir."John put his cigarette back in his mouth and took another puff.

Lethe relaxed out of his fighting stance but left his shirt on the ground. He smirked as the guy refered to his sister as brutal. "Wars pretty brutal." he offered and smiled. He sorta saw his own layed back nature in John and he liked it. "And of course you can speek freely idget." He teased. "This isn't a formal army or anything..."
Leena frowned at Johns Brutal comment and gasped as Lethe relaxed his guard, but quickly recovered when she recognized the tension in his neck as one of his many stolen techniqus in hand to hand. She walked to her brothers side and leaned into his side. "He's bad news." She stage whispered into his ear. "I'd leave him be. He has a large group willing to fallow him out if you scare him off." She turned to the Man and smiled. "I'm sorry you found my speech brutal, but my brother's right." She grabbed Lethe's hand and wrapped her arm around his. "This IS a war ya know." She smiled diplomatically at John, but inside she was in obvious displeasure at this man's presence.
Lethe snickered and kissed his sister's cheek. "Sorry, John was it? But it seems I've been held up here for a little too long. Do feel free to join us later though." Leena began leading Lethe from the rabble. "I wish you'd stop causing trouble!" Leene chided her brother as they walked through the group in the isle they opened for them.

John raised an eyebrow at the siblings.'Odd.'He thought to himself. John quickly caught up to the two of them."Sorry sir but I think you misunderstood me."He took another drag of his cigarette finishing it and flicking it away."What I meant by brutal is that our tactics aren't exactly sound."He started to flip his box of matches in his fingers. A bad habit he made when concentrating."It sounds like you want us to charge in head on. We don't have the numbers or the strength to do that."He got another cigarette out and continued smoking."You don't mind do you sir?"He asked motioning to his cigarette."But we should rather engage our enemy in guerrilla tactics."

Lethe thought about what he said then srugged. "You'd haveta ask her 'bout that." He told John. "I'm more the suiside mission sort myself but she's all about the sneeking and planing and spying." He gestured to his sister who was eyeing john with suspicion.
"For your information our tactics have been planned and thought out with every miniscule detail clculated and each possible situation rehashed maltiple times." She stated calmly. She hated being seond guessed because of her age, size, and 'odd' dependence upon her brother. "and that includes our numbers, streingth, weapons, allies, enimies, and the always present possibility of a trater." She shot a glance at John as she said trater, trying to get accross the fact that she trustaed noone but her brother. "As well as countless outher details that I will not discuss here. If you have any further issues with our tactics, john, please by all means join us in our tent later." She once again nudged her Laughing brother in the direction of their tent. Lethe smiled apoligetically at John and followed his sister, still cackling at her temper and paranoya...

"I think I stuck a nerve there."He mumbled to himself smirking."Didn't mean to insult you sir."He said to Leena."I was just giving my peice. You are the commander at any rate."He rotated his sore shoulder as rain clouds began to role in."I'm just a sodier but if you would allow me sir, I would appreciate it I could discuss tactics with your fellow officers."He took a deep draft and enjoyed the nicatene flowing into his system."Do you smoke sir's?"He offered two cigarette's to Lethe, and Lenna.

Leena frowned as the persistant man still tried to hold their attention. "N-" She began but was cut off mid breath by Lethe. "If you want to talk more jus follow us." He said with a grim. "We're-" "Attracting alot of sttention here." Leena finished for him causing The clouds to release their weighted loads on the crowds.

John smirked at the two siblings and bowed."Thank you sir's."He quickly followed them into their tent. He rubbed the cherry off of his cigarette on his boot and placed it on top of his ear as to not draw smoke into the tent."Been itching for some action sir."He stretched out his arm to Lethe awaiting him to shake it."I'm glad you two accepted me into your army."John smiled."And I'm glad you allowed me the chance to speak my mind sir."

"It's Lethe, not sir." Lethe told him as he shook his hand. Elisting a exasperated sigh from Leena.
"Our 'fellow' officers haven't been chosen yet." Leena told him, interupting the two. "So far this whole coalition Has been brought together and made work by my brother and I." She was calm as she explained this. "As of now our board of officers is empty." She eyed John as she told him this, gageing his reaction.
Lethe smiled brightly. "You look like you'd like to be a bigger part of this." He said.
"Bigger?!" Leena interupted. "He couldn't even participate in one single meeting without starting a fight." She obviously didn't like John and made no attempt at hiding it.
"Calm down sister." Lethe said as he stroked her hair. "I didn't say we'd trust him with everything." He reasured her. "And we wont. not untill he's proven himself to us." Leena sighed and gave in. Lethe looked back to John smileing. "So would you like to join up as a higher officer?" He reached out with his hand offering a shake to seal the deal. Leena stood with her arm around her brother's waist pouting at his choice of friends.

If you recall I was attacked, and I defended myself......maam."He turned back to Lethe."I'm sure you wont trust me with a whole contigency of men yet. But I assure you I'll get the job done with minimum cassulties."

Leena nearly choked as he called her maam. She felt like and old lady. "Stop with that!" She told him indicating his salute. "I'm Leena and you'll be taking your orders directly from me. not my brother." She crossed her arms and sat in the lead chair at the head of the large table centered in the tent. "You will discuss things with me and my brother when we have meetings. but for now keeping the lower officers and random rabble in hand is your only official task." She turned her attention to the reports spread out over the table. thus showing he was dismissed.
Lethe snickered at his sister. "Come now sister." He chided. "You knew you'd have to share some responsibility sooner or later."She ignored him and he sighed. "Come on John. I'll show you the scedual She intends to implement ad you can decide how to get the 'rabble'" He snickered again at Leena's choice word for her fighters. "You can decide how to make them comply and get the word out." He walked over to an officelike area set off from the main meeting room.

John nodded his head to Lethe as he left the tent."Permission to leave the tent maam."He smirked and saluted as he walked out."What's with your sister commander...... I mean Lethe."He scrathced the back of his head following him."Sorry it's going to take a while to get used to this."He watched the mean around him.
They all were doing something or another. He saw a group of mean huddled around a table playing cards, and the quartermaster selling his wares."By the way where do you two get the funds to do this? Seems like a big operation."

Lethe smiled. "Leena's just warey." He said. as he scratched his head. "You'll get used to her as soon as she desides to trust you of not." He snickered. "And if I were you I wouldn't get on her bad side. She can be..." He coughed to hide his laughter. "Vindictive." he chuckled. They entered the smaller tent set off from the main camp.
"Here he said as he handed John an incoded version of Leena's plans for the men's scheduals. "I'll wright out a key for that." He leaned over the dask and grabbed a piece of paper. He scribbled quickly and then pushed the paper at him. "You guard this with your life." He warned. "And on the off chance it gets lost or stolen, You tell Leena immediately. She'll destroy any documents that can harm us." He grinned. "And you don't need to know about the money." He looked out the tent at the men. "Not every one here is just for fighting." He turned back to John. "Just know we get whatever money we need." He walked out of the tent, headed back to his sister's side. He turned to call over his sholder. "You have a lot of studying to do, I sugest you get to it." He laughed as he left.
