thunder_banneret[Grenseal makes his way along the outskirts of Budehuc, eyes and ears on the alert for anything suspicious. Until the troupe of gladiators from Falena showed up very little had happened aside from the occasional monster. So far the troupe had been rather well behaved, but still Grenseal kept his guard up. There could always be a bad seed in any traveling group, taking advantage of the rest.
As he passed the gladiator tents. He reflected it had been quite sometime since he had done a normal patrol. As co-commnader the only time he was on active duty was when he was with President Lepant and his family for official events. Most of time it was paperwork, dealing with his subordinates, and arguing out details with Alen. It was nice, he decided to be doing simple work like this again. Usually he had one of the dogs with him, but tonight the canines had been absent, probably chasing after the squirrel or bat that showed up occasionally.]

Date: 2014-09-08 08:48 am (UTC)[ He takes a deep breath and then adds more vigor to his strides, catching up to Grenseal to walk beside the other man. ]
no subject
Date: 2014-09-08 02:54 pm (UTC)[Looks forward again.]
If you're not going to put forth your best effort than why bother?
no subject
Date: 2014-09-08 03:07 pm (UTC)I'll be on my best behaviour when somethin' worth it shows up. What am I gonna do, tire myself out lookin' at the scenery?
[ He waves at the greenery with skepticism. ]

Date: 2014-09-10 11:36 am (UTC)I'm Grenseal, I'm perfect and do exactly what people tell me.
Whatever.

Date: 2014-09-11 01:13 pm (UTC)Loosen up, man. Heh, you're too easy.
no subject
Date: 2014-09-11 05:51 pm (UTC)[There's a rustling in the trees and a bird pops its head before taking off in flight. Grenseal watches it so he doesn't have to talk to Hervey]

Date: 2014-09-12 11:37 am (UTC)So who used to babysit you?

Date: 2014-09-12 03:40 pm (UTC)I was Co-Commander of the Toran Republican Guard before... [waves his hand vaguely at the forest] this.

Date: 2014-09-12 07:37 pm (UTC)And you? Who was your minder?
no subject
Date: 2014-09-13 03:17 am (UTC)My best pal, [ he corrects, pointedly ] was some tall guy named Sigurd. Pirate, 'course.
no subject
Date: 2014-09-13 03:50 am (UTC)[In the spirit of sharing] Alen and I have been partners more or less since we enlisted in our teens.
May I presume that you too, are from a different time?
no subject
Date: 2014-09-13 04:16 pm (UTC)My pal's dead, no doubt.
no subject
Date: 2014-09-13 04:44 pm (UTC)That war was a long time ago. I am sorry. [He may not like Hervey all that much, but he does mean this]
no subject
Date: 2014-09-13 04:52 pm (UTC)[ He shrugs it off, hiding his unease about the whole thing. ]
'sides, people have been showin' up here from everywhere. What's to say they won't pop up?
no subject
Date: 2014-09-13 07:50 pm (UTC)[decides it's time for a topic change]
Have you seen any of the dogs today? They're usually underfoot.
no subject
Date: 2014-09-14 06:27 am (UTC)[ He thinks about it briefly -- but the lack of yipping and yapping is answer enough. ]
Can't say I have. Maybe they're chasin' around that guy...
[ He doesn't remember the guy's name, but he remembers seeing the dogs being quite upset with him. He shrugs. ]
What, you're not worried, are ya?
no subject
Date: 2014-09-14 06:42 am (UTC)I thought they might be chasing the squirrel with the red cape, or the white bat.
[he shrugs] I've simply gotten used to them.
[Truth is, he likes the dogs a lot.

Date: 2014-09-14 06:43 am (UTC)[ He keeps walking as he shrugs off the topic, but soon stops, head tilted as if listening for something. ]
