Sheriff Lannis -- No. Formality does not serve.

Jaime, Angeal, Ada, and all the rest. It has been a pleasure and an honor serving with you. Even Terra. Yet, now I find my priorities have changed. Zelda has need of my help. I have offered her my sword and therefore withdraw from service to the Task Force

[For a moment, Jaime can only be described as audibly aghast. He's very likely about to launch into one of his violent tirades.

But when he speaks, it's cold, and clipped.]

As you wish then, ser.

If you would like, I might still offer my services in teaching swordplay.

[Some of that control slips.]

We'll cope, I'm sure.

[Voice]

[kakolookiyam]

[And he just now is beginning to see that this could be taken poorly.]

You will do more than cope, my lord. Of that I am certain.

[todomarishi]

From the service of all to the service of one. Interesting.

[kakolookiyam]

Zelda serves all, just as the Task Force does.

[todomarishi]

And how many serve Her Majesty?

[kakolookiyam]

We are five now, though two are lost to us for the moment.

[memento_blade]

You're leaving.

[kakolookiyam]

I must. Her need is more than the Task Force. You are all good fighters and strong minds. The Task Force can spare me.

[memento_blade]

I wouldn't say that. But you have your reasons.

[kakolookiyam]

Try not to be too hard on Matt. He'll learn to look out for hidden blades eventually.
