Destiny Awaits (Stella/Alastair)

If nothing else, there was no sign of displeasure or frustration on the Grandmaster's face as Stella chose to stay around rather than take the opportunity to depart. He welcomed the opinion of those under his command, and if they had information or inquiry that they deemed worth sharing with him personally then he would not refuse them the opportunity. That was not to say Alastair had any insight on what she would ask, he had read her file as he might for any that ended up in her circumstance or similar.

"We do not take attacks on our personnel lightly. I promise you that resources have been allocated to track down this rogue Shinigami and bring her to justice, but it is not a simple process. She has eluded us so far, but you are right that we must all remain vigilant. Consider it done."

For a moment, he wondered if that was a sufficient response. It was true that there was little he could do when the report was as vague as it had been, and it was not like this person was a known quantity even now. Still, Alastair would not belittle her for her compassion, it was an admirable trait to possess even for all the dangers that came with it.

"The safety of our fellow soldiers is something we should always be considering, so I appreciate your consideration on this matter. It does not mean that anyone's safety is guaranteed, but being a member of the Vandenreich has always carried that risk. If you believe she targeted you because of the uniform you wear then it stands to reason that she will try to do so again. These incidents are rarely random acts of violence."
