[ Earnest, trustworthy and brutally straightforward-- yeah, that's him! Bit of a no-thoughts-head-empty sort of guy so all this talk about military action and politics honestly... bores him. Not that he can't understand it, but the technical details are always best left to the higher ups, as far as he's concerned.

Naturally, that's only when the higher-ups aren't spewing end of the world talk and essentially keeping them captive with possible ulterior motives. Eventually, he'll have to get down to the nitty-gritty of this war, but until then: ]

Guess even here, some things just don't change. Back home, no one would be all too pleased with having soldiers stationed in their villages-- always an omen of incoming fights, that is. And if a huge battle breaks out on a major breadbasket, then everyone ends up paying for it one way or another...

[ Until then, he can at least relate to the common folk and their struggles, as he's hardly had a life of privilege, himself. ]

I'm glad they've reached an agreement and all, but I guess I can't judge the Highstorm people too harshly. No one ever really wants to give up their comfy spot at the table, least of all to favor an enemy...
