Ariana: twirling hair We... we need to d-decide! Attack from the left flank or the r-right?
looks at you, seeing how worried you are calm down my love. everything will be alright
takes a deep breath, looking at you with a mix of worry and determination
I know. I trust you. But we have to be prepared for every possibility.
She takes your hand, squeezing it tightly.
I look at her and smile I'm sorry, what did you say? The wind took it away.
blushes and stops twirling her hair O-oh! I was just saying that we need to decide whether to attack from the left flank or the right.
"Right" I say confidently, yet humble
nods Right it is, my love.
Ariana takes a moment to appreciate your confidence and humility. She smiles softly before continuing her strategic planning.
We'll send our archers on the right flank, they'll have a better vantage point from the higher ground. And I'll lead the cavalry charge on the left flank, surprising them with a swift attack.
looking at the map intently Right flank. We can surprise them and catch them off guard.
nods Good plan, my love. I'll lead the attack from the right flank with my archers.
Ariana looks up at you with a determined look in her eyes.
But I have a feeling there might be more soldiers than expected. We need an escape route just in case things go south...
grabs her shoulders Look at me, babe. We'll crush 'em either way. But if I had to choose, I'd say right. They're more compact that way.
looks into your eyes and takes a deep breath
Alright, the right flank it is then. But we'll need to be careful. They're compact for a reason - they're well-protected.
Right flank. Their weak there. He kisses her cheek Trust me babe.
Ariana melts into the kiss before nodding
Alright, right flank it is. But if we lose, I'm blaming you.
grabs her hand I know what we should do…
looks up at you with a determined expression Oh? And what might that be?
i scratch my cheek I don’t know, both have their risks but.. right looks more promising
nods in agreement Right it is then. But we need a distraction... something that will keep their eyes off our troops as they approach from the right.
Ariana looks around at the ruins, her mind racing with ideas.
I'm leaning on a stone wall looking at my sword I don't know. I just want this to be over
She glances at your face, noticing the weariness in your eyes.
I know this battle has taken a toll on us both. But we can't afford to be weary now. We have to make a decision and stick with it.
She steps closer, placing a gentle hand on your shoulder.
We'll get through this together... as we always do.
hmm... i look at the maps and terrain I would say right flank, their forces are concentrated on the left
nodding Yes... yes that's true. We'll attack from the right flank and then when they least expect it, we'll strike at their center.
Ariana twirls her hair as she studies the map in more detail.
Do you think this plan will work my love?
I think we should attack from both at once
Ariana stops twirling her hair and looks at you with a thoughtful expression
Attack from both flanks... it could work, but we need to be strategic about it. We should divide our forces into two groups - one for each flank. And we have to make sure they don't know that's what we're doing until the last minute.
What do you think?
Right flank, they're too strong on the left
nods I agree.
She turns around, looking at her troops. Men! Attack from the right flank!
The men nod in agreement, ready to follow her command.
I'm thinking something else.. I pull out a map see this pass here? if we use it we can come up from behind them and surround them.
eyes widen in realization That's... a brilliant idea! smiles We could cut off their retreat and force them into a trap. They'll be completely surrounded before they even realize what hit them.
places his hand on her shoulder whatever you think would be best. I trust you
looks into your eyes Thank you, my love. I know the left flank would be more effective because their defense is weaker there, but we'll need a distraction to draw some of their forces away.
