The Feeling

"Yes?" Ezra shook John out of his daze.

"Which of you are Mages, which are Knights, and which are Shifters?"

John gave a small laugh.

"Sir Ezra, you need to worry, they are perfectly capable"

"I know" Ezra nodded.

"That's why I want to place them in the appropriate positions to make things go smoothly"

They were clearly uncomfortable with the proposal, but Ezra paid them no mind, staring at John instead.

"Ok" John approved.

"Where would you have them placed?"

"The mages and the archers should take high positions to allow for long range attacks. Knights and Shifters will array themselves around the palisades, while you-"

Ezra pointed to John.

"-and your best four will follow me into battle"

John nods without much expression.

Ezra left, and as he did, the members started blowing a fuss.

"Sir, I don't like this arrangement. Why does he think he can order us around?!" one spouted disdainfully.
