[Story] Admiral Jing

[Archmage_Cataris 622]

Shu Jing walked the streets of Holm. The recent days had been stressful and began to take their toll on him. He noticed a crowd from afar. Caoimeh, Zoran and Tenshar stood huddled together in the cold winter breeze. Shu approached, his hands clasped behind his back, his frown ever present. Caoimeh called out "Shu, I'm sorry about before"

"Tis fine ma'm" Shu replied.

Caoimeh looking into his eyes carefully, seeming to judge, she then spoke "I'm just going to say it and skip formalities. You're the leader of our new navy. You've been the only one assisting with it, and you're obviously capable".

Shu was unsure whether or not he should smile, he simply kept his stern face. Caoimeh smiled as she welcomed him "Welcome to Holm, Admiral Jing."

"Oh..?" Shu raises an eyebrow "That was rather... surprising."

"You've done more in a handful of days then half of Holm. I think it is only fair to reward good work" Caoimeh stated.

"Thank you ma'm, tis an honor" Shu bows, before being welcomed by the others. Shortly after pleasantries are exchanged, Shu retreats back into the Military District of Holm, planning his new navy...

Shortly after the event, posters are nailed throughout Holm, notifying citizens of their new Admiral. Along with the message is a portrait of the man.

Cethis trudges around Holm, not paying much attention, stopping in front of the inn he goes to open the door,

but stops seeing the notice posted next to it

squinting he reads it. His eyes widen as he grabs the notice and mutters to himself

"Great.. no one tells me anything anymore. And to think I saved his arse."

Cethis turns and walks off to find Caoimeh, the King, or Shu, heading for the military district first.

Walks through his city seeing the notice. "Who in the nether..." He said glaring at the notice. "Damned foreigners... I shall have to speak with my military about this." He said looking angered beyond anything he'd ever been. Passing by several people as he shouted in an angered tone. "Never once did I approve of a damned navy! We are a nation of peace not of war!" He said as his right eye started twitching before taking the lift downwards into the military district to deal with his wayward military.
