When she is, he answers in a short speech.OOC: this assumes no 'normal' guards or even elites are around, just management, otherwise he waits until he can speak only to the commanders"I was hoping to speak to The Five before any of this comes to fruition. We saw the result of multiple branches of law, of different levels due to status, heritage, or ability in case of Sectarians. All this multiplies levels of politics, potential corruption and increases the ability of enemies to create distrust and chaos. My advice would be to create single organization Watchmen, Guards, however you want to call them. And to instil into them 'Bluffside first' mentality from the start. There will always be conflict of interest when a noble guard needs to do something against his family. But that is true for every organization ever. Showing Dark lanterns in the light is also affecting their function, they should NOT be seen, not be recognizable in public."He makes a pause gauging the reaction of those around him, but he continues immediately, not letting anyone speak"We can command the new order, but if we start too soon, the duties will detract from the mission. And we, as a group, are very diverse, there would be different knights with different abilities falling under different commanders. Those of the warrior bend are more likely to listen to Sir Tymbek and Sir Breva than me. Same goes for other knights depending on their abilities.I accept the responsibility, with understanding that I have split loyalties between Bluffside and my goddess, much like young Vitus here. I don't see that as essential conflict, one begets loyalty to people and the place, the other just requires following her tenets and living full life.""But!" he holds up a finger "I will join the political game. And this might bring changes in time. Which not everyone may like. Such is politics."</blockquote>
