Library, Saturday

[nothornlessrose.livejournal.com]

Cassidy happily shelved books on her shift at the library before she settled down at the desk with a new book on hand to hand fighting techniques. Accompanying that book was a book on military tactics, as well.

Yes, she was still being a diligent studier of different tactics as Ender had told her before. For some reason, taking his class made her want to make sure she took as much advantage of the materials she had at her disposal than ever.

The library was open and she would be happy to help you.

"I think it's best to do what you can to communicate with your enemy," Ender said quietly. "No battle is always better than any battle at all - but if that's not an option, your temper might drive you to strike first, and hard, and that can define the progress of a war."

"The last time I lost my temper I was erased from existence and hurt people that I care about," she said dryly. "And if I can avoid a battle, I'd like that, but I understand what you mean. Staying out of the battles that I honestly can here is one thing, but I may not have that kind of choice wherever I become the Queen of."

She ran a hand through her hair. "And that may mean that there are times I have to be aggressive rather than just defensive."

It was probably obvious that she wasn't sure how she felt about the fact that there might come a time where she had to start a fight to avoid a major loss of some kind.

"The last time you lost your temper, you didn't realize how much of a disadvantage it could be," Ender pointed out. "Nothing is useless, as long as you know how to control it, and you can keep your enemy from figuring out the same."

He took a glance down at the book she was reading. "Believe me," he said, "I'd rather you stay out of as many battles as you can."
