A Lesson in Serenity
Gadeon found Auto with Nines on the bridge. Closing the door and heading up to him, he took a seat in the copilot's chair. Things were much calmer now than they had been those few hours ago. " Auro, I'd like to apologize for failing you." His gaze did not look to Auto at all, instead, he was looking forward to the hyperspace blur of stars. "I don't know how toy think. It is my failing. The reason we have come to physical conflict twice now. Half of it anyway. You are convicted, it is a good thing, but as i must learn what your reasoning is you too must learn to listen. Not just to me, but to all of us. Remember Unna's comment from the room below, when Cordelia and her brother were there. "It is the same for us. We discuss and then the alpha's decide." You need not listen deeply to understand the subtext of what she is saying. That whatever it is there is something about the discussions that she feels she is less than valued in. You need to talk with her about it to understand what it is she meant by the comment."
Gadeon let out a heavy breath as he finished. There he had said it. No came the easy part. "Can you tell me what it was that compelled you to stay so strongly that you were willing to come to blows with me over it? I am not criticizing you, I know you have done that yourself by the look on your face. I just want to know how I can better express myself next time. I would like us never to need to conflict physically again." He had other questions, but he knew that often Auro would focus on one part of a topic and thought things were too important now. He could tell that something was wrong with Auro's self worth. That needed to change by the time that they dropped out of hyperspace. what he would not give to have Ashla's gift with words.
