As the first light of dawn appeared, Winters Montagne and Skur Meklen met as usual in the backyard of Gessa Adonis's residence for their morning meeting.
The morning meetings for senior commanders of the New Army initially were only temporary, sometimes convened by Gessa to discuss matters with Winters, or Winters approached Skur to explain a situation, depending on the need.
However, this sporadic communication quickly became institutionalized meetings because Brigadier General Gessa Adonis favored this form of "face-to-face" discussion—there were no scribes with quill pens recording it, allowing him to speak freely.
Brigadier General Skur Meklen, however, was quite resistant to the notion of "three people deciding major issues in the morning," as it hinted strongly at oligarchical politics, which deeply concerned him.
Of course, according to Gessa Adonis, "there's nothing in this world that doesn't worry Skur Meklen."
