"…So now you're saying the soldiers of Greywatch aren't capable of doing their jobs?"
Possum tried to twist his words, but the attempt was so obvious that Zephyrion almost found it insulting.
"No. I'm saying the exact opposite. These are some of the most resilient soldiers I've ever seen. The fact that they've kept this region standing with so few people already proves that. You're not incapable. You're overstretched. There simply aren't enough soldiers for everything Greywatch is expected to protect, which means the biggest problem facing this bastion is obvious."
Zephyrion looked directly at Possum.
"Recruitment."
"Wonderful speech, but what exactly does any of this have to do with Apprentice of the Month? You're avoiding the actual issue."
"You'd know what it has to do with the title if you stopped talking long enough to think."
Possum's gaze darkened, but Zephyrion continued without paying him any mind.
