Admittedly, the comment about those who ride creatures sort of cut deep at Hyarmenion, since he would have preferred to be an officer in those corps if it weren't for the fact that he had ended up in the management position that he had. Regardless, he just took the information as tactical data now, and did his best to eliminate the emotion from his judgment.<br/><br/>Soon enough, though, he instead focused on the here and now. Blinking as he considered the proposal of a potential alliance, Hyarmenion paused a second time as though he were thinking it over.<br/><br/>"Well, I guess it all depends on whether or not you consider me to be more important in my current place as a fighter, or whether you want me on a diplomatic mission."<br/><br/>For a brief moment or two, he spent some time considering what sort of individual they might have gotten to replace him. He wasn't sure if there was anyone with his training and skill.<br/><br/>These thoughts were not supposed to be arrogant, but rather once more they were the musings of someone who was quite practical in all matters.
