Harstac mumbled something about "How the hell did that guy get in here in the first place. That is the question...", but it was so low that likely not everyone could hear it. Seeing that the attacker was already being dealt with, he returned to his originally intended destination: The weapon racks.

He reached for the halbert he had in mind right from the beginning. The weapon definitely lacked entirely the grace and adornment of a sword or a good bow, but its reach was huge and so was probably the amount of force required to use this thing properly. And that was what he wanted: Something that suited his own slowness and his need for keeping enemies at a bit more of a distance as some parts of his body probably couldn't be protected entirely by armor.

Having seen Hiiku's hammer disaster and even having the other recruit bailed out of that, he didn't start playing with what he had in his hands now. Instead, he looked at the Lord Commander and the other high ranking persons as if he expected a comment on his choice as pretty much every choice anyone had made had been commented on here.
