Nijel just smiles. :)

"What can I say? It's been a long war. Which reminds me of something else I want to pray for!" :D

"Alban smiles at his friends good humor. "I don't know how the light will take a prayer for that, but I can't blame you for asking." He considers for a moment,
"Hail, holy Queen,
mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness,
and our hope.
To thee do we cry,
poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning
and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us,
and after this our exile
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb..."
He intones softly.
"Something I vaguely remember from an old prayer book that might apply with a little work. Do let me know if it works for you," he adds with a rakish grin.

Alban's Pxxxtang Prayer

Nijel bows his head reverently, closes his eyes and almost weeps as his good friend implores the Powers of the Light for his fondest hope. "*snif, snif* Thank you, Father Alban," Nijel says while making the Sign of the Light across his breast. "Blessed Light, may this come to pass quickly, as your humble and gracious servant Alban beseecheth, and I also pray that You grant to me the full measure of Your Grace, amen."
 

In response to Albans question about a chapel he is told that there is a small detachment of priests who have set up a small chapel in one of the pavillions close to the center of the camp.

Before Alban can react or proceed there is a noise coming from one of the tents closest to theirs. It sounds like a man having a fit as his speech is punctuated with obscene metaphors. Within seconds of the explosion of profanity a red faced ensign steps thru the entryway and says "Gentlemen, you have been requested..PLEASE come at once"

OOC: Does Nijel recognize this man? What rank does his insignia indicate that he holds?

IC: Assuming that this officer is a higher rank than Nijel, then Nijel thinks of snapping smartly to attention and saluting, but remembering that they are in the field, he does not do so. Rather, he asks, "M'Lord, who asks for us? Where should we go?"

OOC: We are in the field, aren't we?
 

Having just unlaced his boots in preperation for the promised bath, Aidan looks a little grumpy as he pulls them tight again and reminds himself not to shoot the messenger.

Dragging himself to his feet, Aidan grabs his pack and responds "Who is just as easily answered by going. As to where, I assume you'll lead us?"

The longsuffering Nijel ignores his petulant brother and waits for an answer.
:hmm:
 

Ewan Driscoll, HP 67 / 67 AC 16

Ewan is already headed to the tent as Nijel asks his question.

"Given the reaction the gentleman had to the message we just passed, I would imagine that is either an old friend or an old student of the General. Most likely both.
"Shall we go see what he wants?"


[sblock=OOC]Ewan is going through his memories to gather all the information he can on the the number and disposition of troops that the group last knew. Both of the enemy and of the old General's men. Trying to compose as succinct and complete report as he can manage.[/sblock]

"Fine then!" storms Nijel as he surrenders and follows along behind Ewan. "I remember when and Officer and a Paladin could at least command enough respect to get a simple question answered! I guess those days are long gone."

Katherine, temporarily lost in weariness and amusement at Nigel and Alban's antics, brings herself back and joins the party on their way into the tent.
