I shall be your escort for this thread
Strel had new duties now. And they were serious. And he had to be absolutely serious about them. So he took it all with a grave frame of mind. As much as he was not serious, he knew that he had to act in a way that was so different from before. First thing was first, patrol. He had done it before, often enough, and found his share of loners. Though now he was free to accept them into the lands if he found them fit for the job. It made it easier, and more efficient if he accepted the strangers on his own accord; he could get the hell out of there once he had set them loose on the kingdom, hopefully to blend in and behave.
He heard the howl in the distance and let out a long, drawn-out sigh. So the duties would begin sooner, rather than later. But this was his first test, to determine if he was suitable for this choice role. And he had better do it right.
The redheaded man came upon the younger woman on the borders, slightly in, but that was negligible. It was starting to feel like everyone was younger than him. Was that what getting old was about? Feeling as though everyone was younger and younger? Regardless of his emotions, Strelein approached the stranger with an air of confidence; again, not hard. He already was a cocky bastard at times. "Hello, stranger. What brings you to Cour des Miracles?" his voice rang out, his Midwest lilt slight. His expression was neutral, though he eyed her with curiosity.
