His mouth opened and closed in suprise, and knew that people were watching. "Okay then, meet me in my tent in around an hour," he said with a formal nod, walking off though he wished to hold her close. His tent, for his command, was the biggest tent due to the painful fact of paperwork and people coming and going so much. He had another tent, but it was clear which one he ment.
She was okay. His heart fluttered at the words, but he had to wonder why she hadn't written. But then it clicked, there was no point for she was on her way here. Was this Auraka's way of keeping her safe? Sending her to the middle of the worst fighting at the current time?

Naina Collins I nodded, and headed off to find the tent I had been allocated. I knew that he had been worried about me when I did not write back to him after that troublesome letter about my father. Now he knew why i did not write back. There really had been no point. AN HOUR LATER After asking one of the others where the tent was I managed to find the way over, not running late, and knocked on the firm canvas door.

He waited nervously,mind running a million things at once while he waited. She was here, the current most dangerous field in the world. Of course she was here, he rolled his eyes at the thought. Danger fiend.
There was a knock on the door and he nodded for someone to let her in, he had just finished speaking to one of his command who was asking to be sent home, his wife was about to give birth. He waited as she entered, watching her neat and graceful strides and sighed, nodding for the others to leave.

Naina Collins I sighed as I entered the tent, watching as the other men filed out, some of them staring at me in disbelief. I had just jumped seven ranks after all. Something that was even unheard of even in Italy herself. I knew though from the moment I had gotten onto that palne, which was now on its way back to Australia, that someone had been watching me. One of my father's spies. Not a good thing at all. The guy would be well on his way back to his father now. He likely even knew where I was. If so then Germany would find their Italian allies coming in to help. Well until I was captured. Nothing else would matter to my father. I looked over at him, noticing once more how dirt seemed stuck to all his exposed skin. Then I saluted and waited for him to speak.
General Matthew Collins Well this was the last straw. She was in the fighting against one of my allies was she? Well then, for that she would be punished like any traitor before her. A Lieutenant as well, not far off her old rank. That would not be an issue though for me. I was used to picking off certain people. "Give the orders. We move to help our German allies in the fight against the Australian invaders on their territory." One of my men, who held Naina's old rank here, ran from the room. I sighed and walked out after him, summoning a few people as well. I also got the person who was in Naina's place here. The guy was a cunning man, and he was doing the same things my daughter had pulled off most excellently. The Australian's were losing men and they would not last much longer before I placed the crushing blow.

Jason watched her carefully, his green eyes bright under his dirty skin. She seemed different, but not to different. Once the room was empty, he relaxed his stance and smiled slightly. "It is good to see you safe Naina," he murmered and motioned for her to come closer. "Tell me, is this Auraka's plan of keeping you safe? Or did this happen anyways?" he asked, watching her every move and knew how very alive she seemed. Soon, he could hold it no longer. He stood, going to her and pulled her into a hug. "Oh how I have missed you," he whispered

Naina Collins "This has nothing to do with my father. Though I have the feeling my father knows that I am here. Auraka sent for me, about the same time after you told me to tell him of what my father said in that letter of yours."
I smiled at him though, knowing he had worried about me, since I had not written back to him. “There was not really any point in writing back that time seeing as I had to fly here the next day."
He came over to me, wrapping his arms around me. "I missed you as well," I whispered back to him. "Only thing is, Auraka figured us out." My voice was low still, not hearable outside.
I smiled up at him. "He knows though about my father."

He nodded "It would suprise me if Auraka didn't know," he smiled slightly. "Auraka always knows everything....even if he asks, he already knows," he chuckled remembering how he had figured it out himself. He paused, meeting her soft gaze. "I understand," he said quietly, stepping back slightly to sit back down behind his desk. "Sit," he said loud enough for those outside to hear.

Naina Collins I smiled though I knew this was hardly the easiest place for him to know I was. At least now there was a chance for me to ... again... prove I was no enemy. It got no easier with time, but it would one day. "There is something you should know. I saw another plane heading in another direction. Sad to say i recognised it, from my past. It was the plane my father used when he is going to fight. Italian." I sat down though opposite him when he told me to.

He looked at her for a moment, unblinking and swore. "Heading this way?" he asked jumping to his feet. He frowned, looking down at her before falling back into his seat. "Just what we need," he muttered.

Naina Collins I sighed, explaining in a very quiet voice what my father would likely try to do. "I would assume they are going to come this way sometime soon. If I know anything about the way my people treat those who have betrayed them, its not going to be pretty on my end. And betrayed them I have, I know that to be fact. People who betray that army by joining another nations, will get assassinated. Not always by bullets either. Poison, arson, you name it, I've got it coming for me and me alone." I sighed. "And knowing who is the one hunting me down, things got bad for everyone here. My father won't care about the rest of you here. He'll do whatever it takes to ensure my death. Though I know that the other's that are of his rank won't approve of this, especially the General you met at General Auraka's wedding. I was one of his favourites, if you'll recall." There was a lot of wieght on my shoulders now, but it was one that usually I could handle. "I was their best, and they won't get me easily. If there was some way for them to give them a clear warning that I know they're here, they might back off. But I can think of none that I can do other than showing my face in their camp. To do so, would be suicide." My shoulders slumped as I thought about what was happening and what was not. This would be no easy thing for me to get out of and not see all these people, who I cared about, killed.

He nodded quickly, a plan already forming. "Okay, as soon as you leave here I want you to head to the food tents, take a whole heap of things. Enough to last you a few weeks if you ration it," he paused pulling out a loose sheet of paper. "You'll need to show this..." he said writing a short note and signing it "for they wont let you take a thing without permission."
His fingers thrummed against the desk, thinking quickly for he had to. He noted her shoulders slumping and stood, giving her a gentle hug. "I'll do what I can love," he murmered, guessing what she was thinking about. He let her go, sitting back down and slid the note across to her. "Go do this, drop it off in my tent...next to this one...and return here," he said with a smile. "Be careful," he said before adding louder "dismissed."

Naina Collins I knew that he had not like the things that I had just told him about but that was something that i could not avoid. All I knew was that there was no chance my father would be fooled. He was the one who always went when someone did what I had done to them. And always, he had succeeded in eradicating a pest like me.
This I did not say, instead nodding and leaving the tent.
HALF AN HOUR LATER
The thing that had taken me longest was learning my way around the camp. Not many had been interested in telling me where to go, they did not really trust me.
Finally though, I knocked on Jason's tent again.

Jason watched her go, eyes following her graceful strides and a sigh of want filled him. He didn't want to hide anymore, but it was for her safety that they did.
After she was gone, he pulled the towering piles of paper closer. Reading over them and signing when needed. There was a knock on the tent and his head lifted, wondering if it was her already. "Enter," he called pushing the papers away once more.

Naina Collins
I felt like I was being watched, every moment i was in that camp. did not help that much, knowing that no one still trusted me. That was really starting to get annoying, having all those eyes following me around the whole time.
I smiled though as the tent closed behind me again, blocking all those damn eyes. "You know, its not getting any easier for anyone out there to even trust me." I knew i was a girl, but I knew more than they ever seemed to give me credit for. I could end this war, so easily, on my own and no one knew that.
Nor would I ever let that knowledge show on my face. I would not be used ever again. Not forced to anyway. My own choice though was a different matter.

"Lieutenant Collins, please sit," he said with a small nod towards the back of the tent. He hoped she understood, people were listening and would think carefully before she spoke. "Did you finish your errands?" he asked carefully, fingers thrumming on the desk before writing her a note as he spoke, making it seem as if he was just doing more paperwork. People listening. Higher rank. Be careful. Might be spy. He slid it towards her after she sat, making it look as if he was just piling it with the other things.
