Re: Presence Training - Kiana and Lasuri
At Kiana's inquiry, Lasuri smiles... And then starts chuckling heartily, shaking his head softly. Before Kiana starts feeling like something is wrong about what she said, however, the Headmaster raises a hand to ease her fears. "Oh, I'm so sorry Captain. That's not meant to make you feel bad about what you ask, I'm deeply touched about this and you're honoring me. But if you could take the little young Lasuri and tell him that one day, he would be asked to teach others how to be a good leader... Well, he'd have looked at you like you were crazy."
"You see... I always was a withdrawn, quiet little kid. I did my own things and never really bothered anyone. I was sneaky and underhanded, yeah, but I certainly wasn't assertive. I was a shy little boy trying to find his place, nothing more and nothing less." The Captain smiles, looking at the woman across him. Perhaps their are certain similarities between them, after all.
"I'm not sure I deserve all that praise, Captain. I just do what I do. But if you want me to teach you my approach, and tell you how I think about things when I step to the front and call the shots, then I will teach you everything I know. It's not much of a price to repay you for all you've done for the Alliance."
"Hope it doesn't make you feel like the lessons are lousy in the end, though!" The Captain adds, with wink.
