[QUOTE="YeOldeAlbatross, post: 3756715, member: 52884"] Tolgrith gives a half smile and a sigh. [color=teal]"True my friend, very true. But there comes a time in any old soldier's life when the glories of the battlefield begin to pale, and the thought of less hazardous prizes begins to grow in one's mind. If this mission is a success, I may well be able to retire to an estate in the countryside, with the gratitude of the King. But...for all the trouble this assignment has seen of late, I wonder if I may have been wiser to keep leading valiant men such as yourself in battle against the orc tribes."[/color] Being familiar with the herald's...domestic situation...Tolgrith nods subtlely in understanding of Aelish's meaning.
