"You mean people coming in and demanding an audience with the Captain?" Markus asked in response, "More often than we'd like it to, in any case. Though most of them aren't quite so... forceful. The risk for violence, however, honestly depends on who receives them. Though to my knowledge we've never had a serious incident come of it. Upper nobles talk loudly, but most of them aren't all that keen on crossing the Order," he said with a smile.
"Regardless, Miss Tanda, I can't think of any reason you'd be barred from your request once the right people hear of it. And I'm sure someone around here wouldn't mind taking a squire either. But for now..."
He stopped mid sentence as the nobleman began to explain the reason for being there. He couldn't quite make out all of what was said, but the words "Ritualized mutilation, murder and sexual assault" stood out as clear as the sunrise. "If you'll excuse me for a moment," he said to Tanda as he stood up and made his way closer to the discussion. He listened as the man went into detail of their findings, and detailed the planning behind the intended operation.
"Well," Markus began, "I must wonder how necessary Captain Danbalion's presence is in that regard. If these Branches intend to target that town regardless, it seems to me they wouldn't need more enticing. That is, if you don't expect them to send less than their full numbers without her there, but that seems unlikely to me given their numbers. It certainly strikes me that setting the trap in time is more pertinent than making sure the bait is roasted to a golden brown. Since we've little bearing on when the Captain will return and what condition she'll be in when she does, I might suggest mobilizing without her. Unless of course you think the rest of us incapable?"
