Captain Bratchett scowled rather openly at Elise's request.  "I'm afraid Captain Gawain has more important duties than drafting up forgeries, Lady Elise.  It was difficult enough getting the one.  I understand your eagerness to get to the root of the problem, but I question whether splitting your efforts is the best course to take.  Perhaps the tenants of the Watch don't apply here, but if a group is to work as a cohesive unit, they must understand one another.  I suggest you three get a head start while you still can."<br/><br/>He sighed, turning in his chair.  The wooden facsimile that had taken the place of his left leg thumped pointedly against the floor.  "I trust you can show yourselves out.  When you've finished, return to the barracks.  I'll have more information for you then."
