Laurent:
Ah, Gerome. I was looking for you. Do you have a moment?


Gerome:
What is it, Laurent?


Laurent:
I'm here to give my regular report, as per our arrangement.


Gerome:
Oh, yes, of course. How could I forget?


Laurent:
Ahem! I'm happy to report that today everyone continues to be in good health. There have been no reported instances of brawls or other insubordination. Logistics are running smoothly, and we have sufficient stockpiles of military supplies.


Gerome:
...Right. Er, thank you as always.


Laurent:
Keeping a careful eye on things is one of my particular talents. However, there is one matter...


Gerome:
Yes?


Laurent:
Er, perhaps I'm overstating its import. Please forget I mentioned it.


Gerome:
...Very well.


B Support

Laurent:
...And in conclusion, everything is going smoothly, as usual.


Gerome:
Very good. But one thing, before you go...


Laurent:
What is it?


Gerome:
In your report just now, you neglected to suggest that we stock up on arrows.


Laurent:
Is that a particular concern?


Gerome:
We're likely to march within the week and can expect to encounter aerial forces. I strongly suspect we'll need extra arrows in the baggage train.


Laurent:
An astute observation. I shall make the necessary adjustments to the manifest.


Gerome:
The report was otherwise acceptable.


Laurent:
...... Forgive me for saying this, but you are...more involved than you seem.


Gerome:
How so?


Laurent:
You ask me to make daily reports on the health and status of the Shepherds, yes? It's almost like you...care about us.


Gerome:
I care about victory, Laurent. And victory demands preparation. I hate it when something—or someone—lets me down in a battle.


Laurent:
Nevertheless, I'd like to thank you. On behalf of everyone, of course.


Gerome:
......


Laurent:
There is one other thing, though...


Gerome:
Yes?


Laurent:
Oh, er, well... I suppose it's nothing that can't wait.


Gerome:
Come now. What's on your mind?


Laurent:
...It is, I admit, a bit of a whimsical notion on my part, but... Well, I was hoping you might consider speaking with the others more often.


Gerome:
...I don't understand.


Laurent:
Instead of using me as a proxy, you could confer with them directly. You might even build a stronger rapport with the company as a result.


Gerome:
I'm not the rapport-building type.


Laurent:
Perhaps an idea whose time has not come. At any rate, I'll report again tomorrow.


Gerome:
Good. And, er...thank you.


A Support

Gerome:
Laurent, do you have a moment?


Laurent:
Instigating a conversation with me? This is truly a singular event!


Gerome:
Tell me, are you going to check on the soldiers and supplies today?


Laurent:
I was about to begin my rounds, yes.


Gerome:
Would you mind if I accompany you? I'd like to help if I could.


Laurent:
...But I thought you preferred to stay in the background?


Gerome:
I've been thinking about what you suggested when last we talked... It's true that I shouldn't rely solely on you to learn about conditions in the camp. I should stop hiding like a craven and talk to my comrades face-to-face.


Laurent:
I didn't mean to imply that—


Gerome:
My words, Laurent. Not yours. But they are true nonetheless. I've been giving you the brunt of the work while I hid in my tent pretending to help.


Laurent:
You're being too hard on yourself.


Gerome:
No I'm not. I should have done this a long time ago. So, will you let me come with you? I'm anxious to learn what you do.


Laurent:
Of course. I know the troops are all quite anxious to speak to you.


Gerome:
Well, I'm anxious to meet them as well.


Laurent:
Right this way then, if you please...
