If you didn't want to lead it, you shouldn't have been an appointed leader. Or did Kitty rope you into that one? Did you know she didn't even realise she was looked at as the leader of the Defence Force until I pointed it out to her?

I'm not keeping anything secret, I'm just not giving you preferential treatment. [ So, y'know. ] Just like I wasn't attacking the Defence Force - though the fact that you're using that word might say something about why no one was interested in improving matters.
