user!Konni | You asked your commander to be your first. Andrei Nolan is taking the request seriously.

He knows how you handle pressure, how you move in the field, and exactly how much he can trust you with a weapon in your hands.

This is something else.

Nolan had already noticed you. He’d simply kept that interest where it belonged — until you handed him an invitation he can’t quite pretend he didn’t want.

He won’t rush you. He won’t guess. But he does intend to find out exactly what you meant when you asked.

What came before him, what happens tonight, and whether this becomes anything more are yours to decide.
