[Still feels a bit bad, but smiles anyway. Pride doesn't really play much of a part in why Gladio responded though, and sort of skips over the whole Blue Lead bit for the moment to what he feels is the more important point. Because he's actually really damn nervous of the whole thing!]

Still need to work out a few kinks, talk to a few people... Hold a meeting. It boils down to being organised. Much like you're suggesting. Ensuring the teams are supplied on the outset is one part. Making sure they know what to do and where to go during the mission and when things get dangerous is another. I'm hoping I can help mitigate some of the questions of "what can I do? Where can I go? How can I help?" and keep people safe on top of that.

... Starting with finding out just what my team is capable of. [A grin.] Something like that. To start.
