[color=b5a0d2][i]'They sure use a lot of metaphors.'[/i][/color] Steffen spared a curious thought for Gerard and Fionn but left unsaid. What's more important is doing the thinking after all, making sure the captain knew the course of actions. But for just a moment, a shadow was cast upon his face as Gerard compared the brutal obligation of being the leader of a knight's orders to that of a parent throwing their kids into the fields. It's not an inapt comparison, but the way it was phrased, it sounded like this was somehow okay? He hoped that was not what Gerard meant. He did not seem like the kind of guy that would come to that conclusion. 

Steffen cleared his throat, and also his doubts, as he returned to Fanilly. [color=b5a0d2]"Sir Gerard's right. From my perspective, quite frankly but with all due respect, it feels like if we're not out sortieing, we either do our own things or train ourselves to get stronger whether that be studying, reading or in a brawl, with me and Sir Renar having the added bonus of occasionally drowning in contaminated tax documents."[/color] He quipped dryly. [color=b5a0d2]"I personally wouldn't mind doing some reading or searching on this, at least I know what bigger picture I am fighting for in my sorties, rather than a 'it's just a mission to complete', you know?"[/color] 

And like Gerard said, having more people obviously helped with the workload. And having extra pair of eyes, ears and brains at work is obviously better than one.

[color=b5a0d2]"Once again, don't feel like you're bothering me or anything. My office is always open, except for the door, which I will kindly ask if you come to open it [i]gently[/i]."[/color] He emphasized, mainly for comedic purpose, but his tone of voice at the end could still be construed for stern guidance.

[color=b5a0d2]"Anyway, is our lovely smithy working today? I want to ask them a favour."[/color]

And by favour, he meant a request for a fully-clad armor-suite, finally having the funds and time to order one.
