William watches the group start marching behind him. A pity none of them stepped up. While his position at the front wasn't a true leadership position, it showed one thing most of the others seemed to lack: the confidence to act. While his confidence had gotten him in trouble thousands of times, that was never an issue with him. He was always willing to take the first step, to volunteer for the task, whatever it was. That type of confidence was lacking in many, including, often, those in positions of leadership.
Hopefully, that would change. He'd noticed a lot of potential during his short time with the group thus far. Hopefully he could help foster that a little as time went on.
