Oh, how I've tried to get you out of my head
And I lie broken in words I said
And I lie broken in words I said
Thankfully, Phoebe didn't seem to mind his questions, even going so far as to wave away his apologies. He offered a small smile, relieved to have not managed to offend the first person he'd run into in the Greatwood. If he was to make a home here, he wanted to be liked and respected - not the person who pried and meddled in other people's affairs.
He also wanted to be useful. He couldn't stand sitting still, and he was going to need some kind of job to occupy his time. Although he'd considered a new direction - a new job or a new hobby - he kept coming back to his military training. When Phoebe shared that the Greatwood had no formal military, he was not surprised, but he was intrigued. "Do you have a peacekeeping force?" he wanted to know, his mind already turning with possibilities. Perhaps he could put his skills to use here after all - and perhaps he could find a way to do so without stirring up old memories. "The Dragoons serve multiple purposes in Stormbreak. They're military, yes, but they're also local police. I'd suggest something similar, especially for a smaller region. It makes more logistical sense than having multiple forces."
Then, realizing that he was extremely new and might be overstepping, he flushed. "Sorry, I didn't mean - that is, it was just a suggestion."

Never thought I'd walk on this street again
Standing where it all began
