I didn't plan on having them drinking tea...but that image of them triggers clumsy fingered warriors with their pinkies up in the air sitting on tiny cushions.

You capture the image of a conquering hero very clearly and I found my heart pounding just reading this! <br /><br />Likening the Commander and his men to ancient warriors really drives home the point that these are not men to be trifled with.
