Olaf grunted as he saw Chloe and Sethi enter the room but remained silent. Elena smiled looking at the pair of them especially Sethi “So you have chosen to be an escort, interesting.” Somehow she suspected that was Chloe’s idea, Sethi in her opinion would have rather gone for one of the more active ones.<br/><br/>Elena gave Olaf a questioning glance but he remained stony faced as if in disapproval at Sethi being selected as a guardian. A position of many of the guardian trainers but then why had he pushed for her to be appointed one. And pushed quite vigorously despite the many objections.<br/><br/>Then Olaf spoke. “Elena would now give you a pretty speech but I believe in more practical things. Greenport is a sewer, full of thieves and murderers where you can buy anything or so they say. Which is of course why we have agents there. Remember the only person you can trust is the one standing by you. And you.”<br/><br/>He turned his attention fully to Sethi, “Many here would have washed you out of the training to be a guardian, seeing nothing in you. But I am not one of them. So now you have the chance to prove me right and them wrong, don’t waste it.” Then as if in dismissal he returned to gazing at the fire.<br/><br/>A soft laugh came from Elena, “Diplomatic as ever my Olaf, but we wish you well. The stables will provide you with horses, rations and directions.”<br/><br/>[ Chloe and Sethi to thread, http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=142244.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=142244.0)  when you are ready.]<br/><br/>
