She nodded in agreement, looking down in thought with a bittersweet smile. "It is... People take the position for granted, specially when they're not in it. Usually thinking that it's just a position of power, sitting back and barking orders and taking all the credit..."

"But it's not like that at all... You're responsible for your team as much as they're responsible for themselves. We're there to lead and follow through with tactics, carry the burden of each mission on our backs as we do our best for the best possible results both for the mission, and for our team."

She sighs and looks back up at him, "It's a hard job, and only those ready for such a heavy burden can truly understand how important it is to be one. You've experienced it first hand and I have no doubts that you'll continue to be a great leader Jamie. You really are a strong person, both here," her hand moved to gently touch his head, "And here," it soon followed and rested on where his heart would be.
