I would like you up front, behind Ana and myself, so you can tell us what you see. Your insight will be helping to keep the two best soldiers in the Rift safe in a hostile environment. We will rely on your opinion but I would count it a personal favour if you would act on any tactical advice we give you immediately”.

Aware that they have clashed before Foix is clearly going out of his way to use his natural charisma, humour and persuasive skills (Leader 2) in a diplomatic effort to get Sara on board with a tactical entry to the temple.
Sara looks up at Foix from punching in notes on an image in her hand computer. She shakes her head giving him a slight eye-roll and sigh. "Geez, I really freaked you out when I blew up that day, huh? Look, I'm not stupid. Of course I'll listen to you two when it comes to that stuff. What I was upset about was being told flat out that I didn't get a say in our plans because I'm not an old soldier like you. Especially after we had agreed on the ship's charter as equals... at least when we weren't under way aboard ship."

"You're in charge, okay?" She quirks a smile. "Not that I won't offer my opinion, solicited or not."

She stows her computer.

"Now let's see what we can see."

Foix replies “I wasn’t freaked out Sara - I was impressed”. His piercing blue eyes contain a definite twinkle as he meets her gaze and asks “Do you think the Comte de Foix picks flowers for just anybody?"

He continues "Standing up to …” he smiles “… a soldier in their fighting prime like me takes confidence and courage - and you also know I value the wisdom you so ably demonstrate. Now, stay close and watch Ana and I – we’ll need a running commentary on the interior”.

“Ana, cover - and then we’ll flip a coin for point*”. To the rest of the group he says “Let’s move the statue. Keep out of Ana’s line of sight”. Foix then sets about shoving the statue away from the entrance together with any who assist.

(OOC: Assuming a below ground level entrance.

*Foix also assumes that, as the infiltration specialist (and not the medic), Ana will want to take point - but it’s always diplomatic to offer! ;) ).
