Or, anyone's for that matter.
Indeed. But Grewie already distrusted Alexandria.
Your point being? Being liked or trusted is not a concern for the blades. They have a job to do and will carry it out. Nothing beyond that is important.
My point being, there is another reason for Grewie to act distrustful towards the Blades and their leader. For instance...well, the escort thing. Without the "assassin" incident, Grewie wouldn't have made a fuss about the Blades escorting him.
You could teach them to read maps. Then they wouldn't get lost in the woods!
Sounds like a good idea!
Besides...Lol wyrm, you were given an assignment 24 hours ago and haven't even made ready to leave yet? God forbid we ever need your magic, the battle would be over before you'd even got out of bed.
Hey, I was assuming that the preparations took time...and I'm still not entirely sure how much time has passed since the assignment was given...and I didn't have a chance to post every minute...and the night kinda passed quickly...
...and maybe Grewie was still hoping to get the escort reduced. That's a reasonable thing, right?
Plus blades are assassins first spies second and far better armed and trained then any but the wardens, so your going be guarded by militia, good luck surviving.
Regardless, assassins are not warriors. Bring this up if you wish, I have a response prepared.
In fact, please bring it up.
What you have done is impressive but to rely on your past to tell me how you will react in the present would be foolish in the extreme and we have not served the king for 10 years with a perfect record of success by being foolish and taking risks.
Didn't you take a foolish risk by having one of your women fake being an assassin who was going to kill the king?
