Xavier waved them both off, sitting in his chair, he picked up one of the books not cut in half, and continues studying it. Meanwhile, Lucina was making her rounds around the castle, and stopped at the barracks, where all the fun was.
"What are you all doing?" She exclaims looking at the men angrily. "We have Risen and Grimleal and you all are at each other's throats." Her shouts could be heard and Xavier get's up and comes running to the barracks. "I expected better from knights and soldiers of Ylisse." Lucina continues looking over each of them glaring at all of them. She turns to her brother "Xavier what in the world was going on? Why is Adalbert and these men going after each other?" She looks to him, then back at the men.
Xavier sighs and shrugs "Adalbert and these men got into an altercation before, I helped him out of it and told them not to cause trouble, it seems they didn't listen." He somewhat mumbles to his sister. "Have them stand watch on the wall, and have Adalbert come with us, fitting punishment for each." He says holding his hands behind his back.
Lucina glares at her brother "I know you don't mean that, the wall hasn't been hit in weeks, the Risen have been trying for the sewers, and our mission, as you told me, would be an easy success." Her eyes narrowing further "What are you planning brother?" She asks looking him in the eyes and making him shrink a little into the wall.
"Every p-p-possible e..." He swallows gods his mouth was dry "Every possible event sister. We still need every able bodied man on the wall, the sewers are a diversion, an important part to defend but still a diversion. Grima has more Wyvern riders than any other troop, other than entombed and revenants." He looks down onto the floor shaking his head "Besides these men could use some distance from each other." He says smiling despite his apparent intimidated posture.
Lucina looks at Adalbert and the men "Fine Xavier, Adalbert you will be on our mission no questions, and starting after your next shift men you all will serve on the western wall." Lucina says and walks out looking first, at her brother, then to everyone else "If anything like this happens again I will personally send you all out of the castle with nary a thing say for the cloths and weapons you are holding at this moment." She slams the door storming off.
Xavier let's out a sigh of relief "Gods she can be scary when she's mad." He says looking at Adalbert and Katherine "Well good evening you two fancy meeting you here." He says smiling cheerfully, the other instigators of the fight solemnly sat back at their tables and bar stools, looking at Xavier and Adalbert clear anger in their eyes. Murmuring and mumbling running rampant through the tavern. He motions to one of the back tables "Back there would be best for you two, I have my own round to do, seeing as my sister decided to do hers early." He says fixing his cloak and walking out of the barracks tavern.
