Gilad was always conscious of the space between him and his Admiral. He never exceeded the personal sphere around Thrawn. He never broached the military distance necessary for them to be an effective commanding team. Gilad had lived his life for the military discipline he strove to maintain among his increasingly younger crews and soldiers.
That did not mean he was blind to his own inclinations. Thrawn fascinated him, personally and professionally. For that very reason, Gilad guarded himself even more than he ever had with a commanding officer.
Sometimes, though, he reveled in Thrawn's trust, and in his praise.
