Friedrich moved at the front of his squad as he listened to the barking dogs of a pompous group of men, the old grizzled man continued his forward march of a less orderly style towards his barracks hall. "Do not antagonize the ones who smell of shit and piss. They will give us all a hard time not matter if you have served or not." he said as he continued forward listening to the barking of the men around him.

He shifted the small flower and plume that stuck to his a more rounded hat compared to most, sighing as again that was a relic of an older age of war fought by his people, he still had his other hat that he was supposed to wear, but at the moment he did not care, he would let them all see the times lost of the forces of his home. "The only difference between them and us it that they know how to ride horses and speak louder then others." he said softly with his lips tightened against each other. 

He stared at the younger gentleman leading the front of the pack, for the entire platoon of men hoping that he would heed his words at least and try to stop something from happening if it did get out of his reach. "Do not forget they are on our side as well, it will not stain our honor and if it does I am sure we could beat one of their fool hearty officers or champions at a duel." 

The old man sighed as he hoped that only those close to him would hear that, else he could spark a conflict probably between the two groups, and if there was one to be started, he would hopefully be left out of it to continue to their bunks.
