Grand Marshal. He never thought he would hear those words in reference to him, and the orange tabby froze for a few seconds, stunned at the announcement. She entrusted him with being her second-in-command? He would have to take some time to process all of this later, it was a lot to take in. He was grateful, just slightly dumbfounded.
Phoenix realized he probably appeared rude staring off into the distance for a hot minute while his mind raced, and he quickly adjusted his paws, cleared his throat, and looked off to the side. What was he supposed to say in this instance? Saying nothing was not an option, the Lady deserved a response.
“I would love to assist you in taking care of the fine folks of this land, Lady Rosencrantz. It’s an honor to serve as your Grand Marshal.” Phoenix could hear the blood pumping in his ears, his heart picking up the pace a bit as realization set in. He had much work to do.
The orange tabby gave her a polite bow, hoping it would show his appreciation for this opportunity and promotion. He would do his best to help guide the people of the Horde to a prosperous and glorious future, as a proper knight-based society should be.
He listened attentively to his leader’s speech, nodding in agreement when appropriate. There wasn’t anything else for him to add, or to ask about. Once she stepped away from the crowd and began to walk away, the tabby would follow in with Project and Rosemary.
“You asked for my presence, Lady Rosencrantz? I’m here to listen and lend aid where I can.”
