Lethodus had to hardly wait long until he saw the first arrival, unfortunately for him, it was Balthier. He would of much preferred to of seen one of the other hunters arrive first. It wasn't a lack of trying that caused such a rough relationship, indeed Lethodus had tried to be friendly at first but after several attempts and a lot of heated exchanges of words, one set even leading into a fight that had gotten them reprimanded for it, he had given that up and just made sure that him and Balthier rarely crossed paths. Of course he couldn't do that this time, and once again pushed aside the crude thoughts of his fellow hunter, giving a curt nod towards him as he waved at Lethodus.

He shifted his gaze toward the streets to see if he could spot anyone else, while he accepted Balthier as a fellow hunter, he rather wished to avoid speaking less he wished to start an altercation on the street. It would be in bad taste especially after all the Duke and Duchess had done while he had been residing in the palace. He asked for little while staying but they were nice enough to comply with whatever he needed, if only he could of convince them to hold off the festival while the Order took care of this new threat but that would be stepping his boundaries. The Duke and Duchess decided to up the frequency of patrols at least to ease his worry. A few citizens might turn their heads at it but they would return to the festival, forgetting the new patrol of knights that roamed the streets.

Seeing one such patrol brought memories back of his time as a knight in the Order of Saint Peirvas. Of course that was before he had learned the dark secrets the group hid in their ranks, and that all the things he had worked for meant nothing to his comrades. He denounced himself from everything and went to war on the church himself. It was foolish and eventually he had to leave because of it but he at least felt he might of done a little justice in that short time, not enough to repent for the sins that he never witnessed but at the time it was enough. One day perhaps he would return but for the time being his duty was with the Order.
