[...oh...goodness, this one again. Well, let's see what can be done here.]
I wouldn't call it "guts" so much as I would "seniority." Clearly no one else has taken charge in my absence, I've far more experience in this organization than most, and from what I understand there's been complete radio silence - if you'll forgive the unintentional pun - from those higher up the chain of command. I'm a soldier back home, and I remain a soldier here; in my experience, if there's no one else willing or able to take command and you have any idea what you're doing, you take command. Simple-as.
[He doesn't sound annoyed by that, though; if anything, he's smirking a bit. Things are insane here for the time being, yes, but it's something to do with himself.]
And dare I ask what you've been up to lately? Given our lack of villains in this place and all - hopefully you've been managing to hold the fort at least somewhat.
