Alexander was internally very glad to see that when he revealed the potential move the enemy could make, Remus was not only quick on the uptake but also extremely fast in being able to come up with a solution.
And even more decisive when trying to carry it out.
Since they had pointed the threat as Lord Parker coming to attack them from the sea, then the most logical answer in the boy's mind was to burn the vessels he would use to come here- the ships, thus denying him the opportunity even before he would start.
Such a go getter attitude of course pleased Alexander, as would any other boss, which was then further increased when he saw that his commander even deduced the most opportune time to strike would be tonight under the cover of the night, thus binding his feet for now, and biding his time for sundown.
Thus with a solemn nod, Alexander patted on the boy's shoulder to show his pleasure.
