He listened to him though he never said a word about any of it. Mizuki had already made his mind up and there was mo point in trying to make him change it. It wasn't fair to him if he thought there was something he needed to do and Thalion said no to it. Sure he didn't want Mizuki to leave or there was the odd thought that he could go with him but he knew Mizuki would tell him no. And in truth it was for the better Thalion had to stay here, though without the magic training now then a few of the ones Mizuki was teaching could assist in training the hopeless recruits as well.

"I understand.. though I wish you wouldn't go. As i said before you seem to have your mind made up and all i can do is hope that you return safely." He laughed weakly, it was all he could do really. Even with the final embrace Thalion wasn't sure of when he would see Mizuki again as he wrapped his arms around the other as well and nodded a little. "I love you too.. you better damn well return.." He wasn't going to break down but the thought that Mizuki might not return for some time crossed his mind.

After Mizuki left Thalion walked over to the bed before sitting down, before he would have shrugged all of this off he didn't care if he was alone but now it was different. He almost hated that he felt like he just let a part of himself just walk out the door to be gone for an unknown period. Either way he needed to keep his thoughts together, he needed to whip the trainees into shape. With or without Mizuki the war was still getting closer and closer to home with each passing day.
He almost feared there wouldn't be a encampment left for Mizuki to come to by the time he returned if it was any length of time.

There was a bit of idle talk among the ranks about moving the settlement to a safer location seeing as the scouts from the other side were drawing closer and closer. Thalion had half a mind to agree with them, it was better to be safe then sorry..
