[Team D (+ the Dragon Covert)]

Team D,

I was sorry to hear of the loss of Adam. I did not know him well, but he seemed kind and affable, and I'm sure that losing him was not easy.

I know how difficult it can be to accept new leadership, especially when it comes from an outside source. I regret that I do not know any of you as well as I might like to.

I should like to change that, by having you all for dinner tomorrow night at 18:00, so that I might become better acquainted with all of you before our first patrol shift.

Please let me know whether or not you're able to attend.

Yr obt svt,
Wm. Laurence

	Vallo dulls my powers a bit. They're obscenely powerful back on our home planet. So I'll just have to assume he'll come back someday. Maybe with his dad. Got it. We'll do beverages so we don't mismatch wine with your courses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Others have been known to return; I hope as much is true with Adam. Do either of you have any dietary restrictions I should be made aware of? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	None that I know of. Thank you for doing this, again. Adam always liked this kind of team bonding thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He had a good head for leadership. A team or a crew that are familiar with one another outside of the confines of their duties tend to work better than teams that do not have those bonds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't argue with that. I grew up training to be a member of the Royal Guard, and we always worked together best when we were all getting along. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I spent most of my life in the Navy, and it was much the same, though in our case we were often ship-bound with one another for months at a time. Did Adam train with you back home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was my job to train him, but getting him to put in the effort most days was an extra exercise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know the type well. You trained him in combat? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Teela \| Laurence warriorgoddess 2023-11-06 01:36 am UTC (link)
	Partly. I shared that duty with my dad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would you ever be interested in running drills here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Teela \| Laurence warriorgoddess 2023-11-06 01:40 am UTC (link)
	Sure, if you need an extra hand. You don't want to put us through our paces first? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Teela \| Laurence withallmyheart 2023-11-06 01:49 am UTC (link)
	It wouldn't be immediately, but I thought that once I see a little more how this team works, it might be beneficial to have any of us who wish to to run a training session. I imagine we all must have a wide variety of skills amongst ourselves, and learning from one another can only be a boon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Teela \| Laurence warriorgoddess 2023-11-06 01:51 am UTC (link)
	Alright, sure. That sounds smart, and I'm happy to step up occasionally. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Teela \| Laurence withallmyheart 2023-11-06 01:53 am UTC (link)
	Thank you, Teela. I'll look forward to working with you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
