We wanted a hero, but all we could get was this guy. [Action]
It was night time and raining. Not hard driving rain, but the light sprinkling kind that leaves everything glittering when the sun comes out, because sometimes reality just has no appreciation of how to set the right mood for a scene.
Vimes appeared with barely a flicker. He was wearing his uniform, though you could barely see it under the heavy waterproof cloak, and was practically asleep on his feet. It's a special trick being able to sleep while standing up but one that any guardsman eventually figures out, which is why it was that Vimes did not immediately notice that he was no longer at home, but was in fact leaning against the inside wall of the castle. And it is like this that he will remain until either morning or until some night owl stumbles upon him.
When morning does come, the sun was shining on the wet castle grounds, making everything glitter. Vimes can be found wandering around trying to figure out just where the bloody hell he is.
