Armed with the knowledge that the rough treatment of the ladies in the tavern was not only a regular occurrence, but that the girls in this establishment were not the only ones who were receiving such treatment Vatra had heard enough.  He thanked the serving girl and let her go on about her business for a few minutes before standing and striding towards the table where the cadets were still seated.  Making sure that Valyeria was loose in her sheath, just in case she were needed, he stood taller than most men, especially in the southern kingdoms so when he stood to his full height he was more than a little imposing; and certainly people would take note of him.<br/><br/>Stopping behind the chair of one of the cadets he stood facing the cadet leader.  Clearing his throat he spoke in a low but determined tone of voice.  It was not threatening by any stretch, but it did convey that Vatra was very serious in what he said.<br/><br/><strong>Excuse me… I would have a word with you.</strong><br/><br/>He waited for the table talk to quiet down and for the eight eyes to look over and focus on him before continuing.<br/><br/><strong>I understand that you are cadets within the Order of Midnight Steel or some such.  I could not help but notice with your primly pressed uniforms, and dashing silver clasp at your throats.  I assume that this is some sort of militaristic group that was perhaps established to keep peace on the streets.  And assuming that I am correct, and that you are still in training, thus also assuming that you have a master of some sort, I wonder what said master would think to see their recruits behaving in such a dishonorable and non-chivalrous manner as what I witnessed here this morning?  Pushing past the small folk, man handling the serving girls, or any woman for that manner...  I would think that basic chivalry and a semblance of honor would be something that the order would screen for in its recruits, but even lacking trainers with that much common sense I wonder if it is a part of the curriculum that simply has not been taught yet.  Or maybe, your group is so distasteful to the common folk and the nobility that you have to fill your ranks with the thieves, poachers, rapists and thugs.  Either way, it is a lesson that from what I have seen and heard is a lesson that you all sorely lack.  <br/></strong>
