002 [shine like oil on machinery]

The past week has been a better primer on the nature of this place than any amount of explanation and history could be. Knowing this, I have a question for those who know--what are the requisites for joining the guard?

In gratitude,
Paladin

Patience, I hear, is a virtue most prized among the guards. Much of your time is spent in waiting and idleness; so I hear, at least, from my neighbor.

ohai I desperately need to fangirl at you

Such is the nature of any sentinel position. I believe I am stalwart enough to handle it.

What I was thinking of, though, was outfitting. I own little, and would require rather a substantial loan to be able to arm myself.

Finally another Ramzaphile

I've been given a gift of steel and I'm to have it forged ere long; I'm fairly certain I can't make use of all that I have, however. Should I find myself a blade too many you're welcome to use it for a while.

Mayhap you would practice swordplay for sport?

Something more specific than that, actually--has to do with icons

[mythgravenblade]

I would be honored to be so indebted to you. Should this come to pass, I will repay you and gladly.

If you are offering, I would be glad to work on my form with you. It is one thing to know that you know swordsmanship, and another to know swordsmanship.

what, this one here?

[heretic_hamlet]

Well spoken, ser, none the less in times such as these. I'll have your answer soon enough.

No, the 'shirtless Ramza' icon and its comment of "Do you think I meant country matters?"

[mythgravenblade]

I await whatever news may come eagerly.
