George couldn't believe this. Well, he actually could as he thought back to all the other times you had disregarded his orders like this as well. But those were small things he didn't really mind and would let you off with a slap on the wrist, not this time.

"Give me one good reason I shouldn't send you home?" George mutters, pinching the bridge of his nose. He can already feel a migraine coming on at the foolishness he knows you'll spout to somehow convince him that it was necessary for you and Laurens to challenge Lee to a duel. As if he hadn't told you days earlier he didn't mind nor cared about what Lee said about him, that they had a war to worry about and not his so-called 'honor' you claimed to be defending like he wasn't a grown man and could deal with his own problems.
