Long lost fables.
The Sergeant hadn't realized at first, why his Capitan suddenly inquired over matters regarding the broken television set in the sala and how it was necessary for them to fix it immediately; she had never cared for the thing in the past. It was a conversation between two of his men on the odds of Russia beating the United States or even Africa in the marathon that year that revealed the reasons. The Sergeant did not call her on it.
Three days later, the Capitan did the unthinkable: she abandoned her post with her paperwork in the main office and descended to the sala of Hotel Mosco's headquarters, joining her men in watching the opening of the Olympics. Her soldiers scrambled to give her the best seat, which she refused. The Sergeant opted to stand beside her, in place at the doorway. He watched the light in her eyes change from something monstrous to something more like a child's, a little girl's, and kept his peace.
