(The Cheydinhal scene is a flashback a day or so before the survivors of Bruma reach the imperial city, which kinda allows me to work around Bravils absence till Sunday and go back to Antarions PoV for a bit)

The battle for Bruma had not just been one on the fields and walls, it had men fighting in every street and side alley, fighting house to house, courtyard to courtyard in the name of the empire. Legionnaires choosing to die fighting in horrific close quarters amidst the city ruins, Redoran guard killing twice their number before being enveloped and destroyed. It was truly one for the history books but mayhaps not one that shone brightly in the empires favour and Antarions honour as despite fighting viciously for six hours and sustaining many wounds, he still felt responsible for his men's deaths and Brumas fall. Antarion was unusual in comparison to his fellow Dunmer and even some of the older legates was that he cared about his legion immensely, often choosing to charge in with them in the thick of battle despite the many warnings from his officers of the risk which could involve an axe from behind or a stray arrow. Yet he cared not for that danger as victory was more important to him and his house and he let it out of his grip.

"Sir?" Legate Anton knocked on the door of Antarions hospital bed quietly as to not wake up half the hospital ward which was choke full of wounded and ill, Antarion groaned and Anton came in with multiple imperial military documents sent from his friends in other legions detailing classified details about the situation in the north and the logistics surrounding the mess. He chose not to speak to his legate who got the message and left quickly, in the bottom of the pile of letters and documents was one bearing the seal of house Redoran which implied without a fail it was a letter from his Wife which he dreaded to read, choosing instead to leave it in his drawer as it'd probably be about their daughters choice to join the Redoran guard which often made Tamira and Antarion clash on the regular as the life of the soldier was not one that Antarion wanted for his daughter who'd become just another casualty statistic if she joined the Redoran guard.
