Re: The Lab
In reply to Miroslav (msg # 324):
Loukas grins and laughs at Miroslav's jibe and turns to Balthazar, "Ha! Better not bring those men at arms to mind the horses. We'll need something to keep A'kos' distracted on your horses."
Turning back to Miroslav, "A'kos can get me any mount he wishes, because I'll only be using it to carry whatever extra gear I need. Veles's blessings makes me fast afoot than even A'kos will be on his glorious steed... Which is probably on of the best reasons not to trust me, eh?"
His grin is challenging, but the glint in the monk's eye reflects the fun he is having. He and Miroslav have always been different, their Captain has at times been like a father to him and he respects the man's pragmatism and common sense when dealing with things. The results of which have led to the Fellowship of the Heart of Oak's survival and success and his own rise to the position he is in today (regardless of his blood relations). Of course, this leads him to concerns about how they will all work together without their Captain's cool, wise head. Damn me, if I have got to watch myself. It's one thing to Master the arts of the Woolly One, but it's all meaningless if you don't have the wisdom to navigate things. Zmija would say that such is the meaning of mastery... Okay, let's be careful and not poke our own eyes out with our sharp tongue!, he thinks to himself.
