In fact it had gone back and forth for quite some time, as the pair went from discussing legitimate concerns about the quality of Gethrenia's soldiery to their own little nitpicks about eachother's behaviour and personalities and back again. Perhaps Handy was being a bit too blunt and anti-social, perhaps Joachim a bit too insistent on playing the gracious diplomat that he never seemed to take decisive action. The point is they did not see eye to eye on the matter and Joachim did not like the human’s implications that his soldiers were unfit. He was, however, increasingly finding fewer and fewer counter arguments to the fact. The music echoing down the halls of the castle was distracting and not helping either one's moods.
