Re: Illumination - Dark Heresy Carcer let Blake's little comment slip ealier. It was the kind of remark that is dangerous to handle...So he choose to just let it pass completely to avoid any conflict with the four men since they'll have to spend much time together in the coming months.
The way Carcer handles Sedek speaks of his breeding much better then any words or briefings could. He flashes the serf an empty smile and nods, "My...What more could a man ask for? We've beds to rest, clothes to wear, and sustainment. We are soldiers now in His army and so shall we bear this minor sufferance as a badge of honor!" A pretty rousing retort he figures...or at least a better reply then his comrades could put forth. In Carcer's mind he is so far above everyone else anyway no matter who they are or where they're from. But he tries to keep that to himself.
The next order of business...Blake...That man directly challenged Carcer with his little remark. Carcer needs to set a president. So he decides to play it just like he did with the wenched servant: Noble, sophisticated, and honorable. He strides over to the warrior and holds out his hand...in a friendly gesture, seeking to shake hands with the man. "I don't believe we've been properly introduced, I am Carcer Sibrand...About your comment ealier, I didn't have the time to reply at that moment so I'll answer you now with another question: How could I be lost when I'm surrounded by steel? Architecture for me is like the open plains or jungle would be for you, my natural environment...I could never be lost within it's folds." He smiles broadly and seemingly genuinely at the end of his introduction...First impressions are important and he just satisfied at least two of the three. The priest of course with the high breed and pious attitude and the mercenary with the honorable actions. Or at least he hopes...
