Location: Abendblume<br/>
Addressing: Alvaro <a class="username" data-user-id="288" data-username="Flannel King" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/288/">Flannel King</a>​</div><br/>"That is good to hear about Rebel," Hale said, though he suspected as much about Dan. "Reassign him however you see fit. Report to me those that are dissatisfied with their place here. I am putting together names to get ahead of things. I sensed some brooding from Dan, as if he were withholding his true feelings in the matter. If that proves an issue and he cannot find his place within the community, well.." Hale's voice trailed off. "We will have more to talk about with that later on, as the need arises and names add up." He waved that off for the time being.<br/><br/>"Ray did not gun people down for the joy of killing?" Hale clarified, willing to protect him either way. Armando's words rung in the back of his mind, and his worry over his son. Ray was either defensive and rash or a violent killer. Hale preferred the former. "To be honest I figured he preferred training with you based on your decorated background and perchance towards violence. If the boy has a cruel streak, we need to find an appropriate outlet for it. I appreciate that you went with him. That was the right call, for his own safety." He was thanking Alvaro not as a boss, but as a father and friend of the family. Alvaro then was looking out for the Hale's better interest, doing what needed to be done.<br/><br/>"I assigned the men all based on their prior occupations and fitness level," Hale explained. "Not Armando. He would have told me sixty percent were under qualified and would take extensive bouts of training. I do not think it is so complicated. I need them trained more quickly than that. We need more guards than what Armando could sustain by his way of doing things. Sort the men out as you see fit, just do it in a timely manner. Armando and I had several disagreements as of late. The distance will give us time to address our issues when we reconvene."<br/><br/>Hale nodded at Alvaro's assessment of Ray, smiling as any proud father would.<br/><br/>"I worry for my two younger children should the day ever come that Abendblume is compromised." Which was to say, he did not worry about his eldest for that reason. "The moves I make are to protect the innocent and the defenseless. I am certain Roman would grow resentful if I put more pressure on him and Amira simply doesn't have the constitution for it. She is just like Liliana in a lot of ways, may she rest in peace." Hale kissed his wedding band in her memory.
