Cedric frowned upon hearing the purpose of this journey. He had hoped to be a part of some great heist, where he could snatch the riches of France. Rip out of the treasure of Spain and loot all of Italy.
Instead, he was assigned to guard a stupid border. Cedric didn't care for either side, but he wanted the rewards that would come with joining either.
Knowing simply swiping weapons would pretty much be a bad idea, but still needed something to have with him in battle. Cedric decided to raise his hand and respectfully address the superior in the room.
"Question Sir". Cedric began. "Which of these weapons are available for us to use while wiping out the enemy forces?"
Cedric might as well take a weapon along with him, then run off after his mission was finished.
