Elder Aria was stunned silent, and then her expression twisted. "You—!"
Leonel held up a hand. "Do not misunderstand. I respect my elders and your experience, I am not casually dismissing your plans out of malice or anger, nor am I acting out of emotion."
'Though, even if I was, it really wouldn't make much of a difference,' Leonel thought to himself with a smile. Whether he was being emotional or not, he didn't believe there were many, if any, who could out maneuver him in this world. Victory would be certain one way or another, but since he had his wits about him, he might as well be calm and calculated, taking the best and most perfect course of action.
Aria grit her teeth, but since Leonel had spoken so clearly, it was her duty to calm down and listen to him. She really wanted to hear what he could possibly say that was better than her plan.
