In the past it might have been odd for a human to offer their compliments or tips, but it was clear that while her ideas might seem strange, they accepted her as part of the crew and the more experienced ones were willing to give new things a try.

Todd and the queen eventually made their way to the sparring arena and watched Cody in action. The male was older than the queen but still younger than all the other males. He hadn't been expecting her to arrive but when she did, he wanted to impress, both her and his commander and sparred well with the other wraith he'd paired up with.

The queen watched with interest and was glad to silently report to Todd how well his crew were trained.

Todd however saw a problem. Cody was making an impression on the queen, on purpose. Usually this was a prelude to trying to claim the rank of commander. He had to put him in his place and let him know that this potential mutiny was not wise at this time and for his age.

He entered the arena, to the surprise of many watching, including the queen. A mental note from him told her that this needed to be done and she didn't stop him.
