His earlier anger and irritation left him, leaving the general in his usual mood: calm. Thinking about their next move, analyzing different scenarios and possibilities and what they could do. It helped him to concentrate, soothe some of the anxiety that he felt. Better than just sitting here and staring up at the sky and being completely unproductive.

If he was at least partially prepared for whatever news that the scouters will bring, then he would at least have some control of the situation.
