Will do, sir. Anyone in particular I should speak to?

And boring would be nice, sir. Boring would, hopefully, mean that there's nothing over the horizon trying to wreck the world, even just for a little while.

I want work just to keep the edge and maintain work-life balance. But I'm definitely making the most of this break.

Good. I sure hope your blade mates are going to follow your example.

[Because he's seen you Hounds. Many of you are all work, no play. Why do you think he was totally on board with Liandrin's call, and gave her his blessing?

Anyway.]

Speak to Kaiser Regina Batumbakal - she heads Anino down in the Philippines. Her office is in Quezon City.

[ That kind of pings. Particularly since he's multi-tasking talking to Josh (who's pretty irate about news that some of their Blademates, he's not sure yet who since Josh hasn't said yet) while Jessie's texts come in. Brig plays the fool. ]

My Blademates are gung ho, sir, but I think most of them, with the exception of Yulia, can find easy ways to busy themselves other than tossing themselves into another near-death situation.

Thank you, sir. I'll speak with Kaiser Batumbakal. This break's the perfect time to actually be more active in Methuselah's day-to-day.

[ There's concern as he speaks of their Bladian. It might be Yulia, she did run to Blaece without telling anyone. And, well, she doesn't really have any family like the rest of the Blade to spend her time with and grow things. The thought makes Brig sad. Yulia's probably the loneliest. A sister and friends in knives make for poor substitute to warm hugs. ]

Yep, and hopefully your competency will rub off on some of the knuckleheads down there.

See you around, boy scout. :D

[Yes, Brigade: now you have a new nickname with this one.]

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Wow. A compliment. Without even a backhand neg. And "boy scout" instead of the usual "idiot" or some such. Brig doesn't reply anymore. He just smiles and takes the small win as it is.

Still, again, wow. ]
