“While our peoples may not be on the friendliest of terms, war hasn’t been mentioned in decades. We need more information on both fronts, and we need to ensure we have allies that are solid to stand by our sides if this turns the way I fear it may.”
Petr nodded slowly. “While we may have our differences, and while I may not like you, I definitely respect your policies as a leader, Daykin. The fact you are my sister’s chosen bond mate and husband only holds a little sway for this decision.” He held out a hand to Fintan. “If we go to war they’ll do it without me and several of their cruisers. The first admirals on seven have already assured me they won’t play the games of the Fleet, or the kommodor.”
Taking his hand in his, Fintan shook it firmly. “It will be with out me, Bracken, and ten other destroyer colonels. We won’t be pulled into a petty showing of cocks by the Armada, or the marshal. Whatever is coming, we’ll have your backs.”
“As we will have yours.” A light flashed on the wall. “And that would be my cue to disembark. I’ll send a message as soon as I know something more substantial.”
“Thank you, Petr.”
Blinking, the other male grinned slowly. “I really wanted to hate you, Fintan. But I just can’t seem to find it within me to do so. Until next we meet.”
Fintan stepped back. “Until next we meet,” he said quietly. He gave the other man a quick salute, then left the landing bay. Sealing the doors at his back, he gave the orders to let the ship leave and to ensure it was protected until it slipped back over the border.
Once he was assured Petr was safely on the Imarian side of the border, Fintan gave orders to proceed with their patrol. Then he headed back to his quarters to be with his family. War might be coming, but both sides might end up with one hell of a surprise when they discovered the ones they wanted to pit against the other side had other plans in mind.
They could very well all be brought up on treason charges. But hopefully it didn’t come to that. No matter what, Fintan would ensure that Adira and their children were forever safe. It didn’t matter what it would cost him personally. It was a price he was more than willing to pay for those he loved.
