In the ’Think’ of Things

If you were waging a battle and from your defenses you saw your allies colors riding to your enemy without approval or fore-mention, what would you think? Especially, if a disagreement or confrontation occurred previously over tactics earlier that day. Is this evidence coincidental? Or is it a direct threat and therefore a clear indication that your supposed ally is going to shift the battle to your enemies favor? How would you know? But most importantly, wouldn't your ally know better? Wouldn't your ally know that is a good way to be poisoned at dinner for treason? Or have their throat slit in the middle of the night? Such things do not go unnoticed and it is never wise to assume that a mask of naïvety will save anyone from the consequences of their actions. That sort of ignorance is nothing but assured deterioration.
