As a voice sounded behind him Adrien turned and made a quick study of the man behind him. Miles' height wasn't a concern, Adrien knew better than to judge by height, but the man did not look to be in the best of health through the face and limbs. One dark eyebrow lifted and his frown deepened.

He listened to Miles reel off what sounded like the same question in a variety of languages and for a brief moment he hoped that maybe that was the issue. No such luck, the guard remained unmoved.

"More like he has his orders and isn't going to act beyond them," Adrien remarked. He wasn't aggressive at the guard, after all orders were orders, but he also wasn't impressed.

"Most conscription services like to do a physical examination of their new recruits," he said with a shake of his head. He took some of the meat and water, then nodded his head towards Miles. "Give him the remain of my rations."
