Bullshit. No, more than that. Absolute horseshit.
Gaage Eberwhit had been on his very best behavior, and that was saying something. He'd done all of his work at the Academy, and hadn't seriously hurt anybody in training. He'd even stopped sneaking Delaney into his room at night, which was definitely not helping either of their moods. All so that the Academy would give him a mission with some real meat on its bones. Something that could really get his blood flowing, where he could let loose and get some action. To his surprise, they'd given it to him! A large caravan of thieves had made off with a huge haul from Vel Anir's market with help from some disillusioned guards who looked the other way in exchange for a little gold. It was suspected that these thieves were part of a larger cabal: The High Tide. They'd been small time for years, but lately they'd been getting more and more aggressive and bold.
So, they were going to send Gaage to tail the bastards and gut every last one of them! That sounded like a dream come true to Eberwhit! So, what was the catch? Well, she was about five feet tall and two years younger than Gaage. Another fucking youngblood. This time to be his only partner on a two-person assignment? What the hell had he done to get stuck babysitting all the time now that he was back in mission shape? The shittiest part was that he couldn't really argue; griping would just lead them to pick somebody else. So whatever. He'd bear with it. They had a cart all armored up and ready to roll into any bandit hidey-hole they could find, so Gaage bit his tongue.
"So, Yuh-so-bull, isn't it? What do you do, anyway?" The first half-hour of their trip had been totally silent except for the sounds of the city they were leaving. By now though, those noises were fading into the background as they passed through the gates, following the path that The High Tide had been seen fleeing down. Gaage thought that Fen girl was quiet, but Ysobel seemed just as stoic. God, were all the girls from the new class brick walls to talk to? Eberwhit didn't know the first thing about the blonde woman sitting beside him, and it didn't look like he would any time soon.
Fine, whatever. He cracked the reigns, speeding them up a little. "Well, stay out of my way and you'll do fine, kid. I'll even tell them you killed a couple of them, make you look good." A smug grin spreads on his face as the tracks ahead of them grow fresher. Whatever the Tide bandits had been driving, it wasn't as fast as them. "We're getting closer. Tell me if you see anything." The clearing they rode through was being swallowed up by an oncoming patch of forest, and Gaage would take as many eyes as he could get in a place like that.
