What? There was no way a second in command could go before his superior does at a time like this. Even more surprising was the admiral's tone - it wasn't phrased like an order. There was something vulnerable in that smile. Admiral had ordered things before and Albusflores could speak back when he felt like it, but the way admiral had asked was hitting off Albusflores's pace completely. It felt like something he should not refuse.
