Part 932: Laurent B
![](1-LaurentSmile.jpg)
...And in conclusion, everything is going smoothly, as usual.
![](2-GeromeYell.jpg)
: Very good. But one thing, before you go...
![](3-LaurentDefault.jpg)
What is it?
![](4-Gerome.jpg)
In your report just now, you neglected to suggest that we stock up on arrows.
![](5-LaurentAngrySweat.jpg)
Is that a particular concern?
![](4-Gerome.jpg)
We're likely to march within the week and can expect to encounter aerial forces. I strongly suggest we'll need extra arrows in the baggage train.
![](1-LaurentSmile.jpg)
An astute observation. I shall make the necessary adjustments to the manifest.
![](4-Gerome.jpg)
The report was otherwise acceptable.
![](1-LaurentSmile.jpg)
..... Forgive me for saying this, but you are... more involved than you seem.
![](4-Gerome.jpg)
How so?
![](1-LaurentSmile.jpg)
You ask me to make daily reports on the health and status of the Shepherds, yes? It's almost like you... care about us.
![](4-Gerome.jpg)
I only care about victory, Laurent. And victory demands preparation. I hate it when something- or someone- lets me down in a battle.
![](3-LaurentDefault.jpg)
Nevertheless, I'd like to thank you. On behald of everyone, of course.
![](4-Gerome.jpg)
.....
![](6-LaurentSweatCloseEyes.jpg)
There is one other thing, though...
![](4-Gerome.jpg)
Yes?
![](3-LaurentDefault.jpg)
Oh, er, well... I suppose it's nothing that can't wait.
![](4-Gerome.jpg)
Come now. What's on your mind?
![](3-LaurentDefault.jpg)
...It is, I admit, a bit of a whimsical notion on my part, but...
![](5-LaurentAngrySweat.jpg)
Well, I was hoping you might consider speaking with the others more often.
![](7-GeromeSweat.jpg)
...I don't understand.
![](3-LaurentDefault.jpg)
Instead of using me as a proxy, you could confer with them directly. You might even build a stronger rapport with the company as a result.
![](7-GeromeSweat.jpg)
I'm not the rapport-building type.
![](6-LaurentSweatCloseEyes.jpg)
Perhaps an idea whose time has not come. At any rate, I'll report again tomorrow.
![](4-Gerome.jpg)
Good. And, er... thank you.
