Aaaah, that feels good. On a cold night like this, nothing beats a cup of mulled wine after patrolling! Especially in a quiet place like this. Friendly barmaids, and no one to bother me.

...hold on one moment. I thought I heard an atrocious accent.

And here is the atrocious Gascon who makes such noises. Too much to hope for that he'd be alone. Those four always move as a pack... sure enough, there's the big brute. And the little firebrand - studying to be a priest, my hairy arse - and here is that sheer cold-faced bastard, well liquored up and spoiling for a fight as usual.

Maybe if I edge toward the door, I can duck out before they notice me. Cowardice yes, but suicide is a sin and staying in here would be suicide -

Oooops, I'm very sorry, Monsieur Porthos, sir! I swear I had absolutely no intention of bumping into you! Scuffed your boot? That's not possible, it looks perfect as usual!

Oh, thank you, Lord, for sending me reinforcements! Perhaps it pays to work for a man of God after all -

- except You'd have to send me Jussac and his goons, wouldn't You? They're going to start a fight for sure. Ooooh yes, there you go, make a dig about girls... and one about not liking girls, just to cover all the angles -

Why in hell isn't there a kitchen exit from this place?!

No. No, please. I'm not involved in this, honest! I didn't do anything! I never liked Jussac anyway! You can't beat up on me just because I wear a red uniform, that's not fair - stop -

...that hurt. I think I'll just lie down for a bit.
