(OOC: I'll help make him cry. I'll start it off.)

Tamakatari walked out and joined the others. He looked at Cid, who still had his head in his hands.

"People change a lot from a loyal page to the king, don't they, Lynx."

"Oh, most defiently." Lynx sat up. "Give a man a title, he does what he wants."

OOC: Aw... Look, were bonding...

(OOC: Isn't that cute?)

Tamakatari took out his whittling stick, and started to whittle at it with his knife.

"Well, you can't really blame him. The Royal Captain of the Guard makes you a powerful man. I mean, it's not like ANYBODY could torture and kill a tied-up man. No, that takes a man of high calibur."

"Don't forget that, they can only do it if they're told, 'You're all under my command'" called a voice from behind the building. After an odd pause, Ark yelled out, "Sorry."

OOC: Aw... Raiden took the best part...

"And only the captain of the gaurd could think of actually killing the prisoner. Of course, with his genuis, he must have realized there would be no use to keep the bandit prisoner. Even his great idea of torturing a bandit, one who loves money, to get info. Under the Kingdom's rule at that."

"A man can do a lot when he has the kingdom backing him up. He could probably kill everyone in this town, and when people ask, he could say 'I did it in the service of my king'. And then they'd award him a medal! He could put it in his medal case! Next to the ones he got for taking babies away from mothers, and stealing cows from poor people. I bet they're really shiny."

Cesia stood there, silently listening to the others talk about Cid, no doubt trying to make him feel worse than he seemed to feel already. He sat there, with his head in his hands... She didn't know if he was ignoring them, or taking everything they said in... maybe before long he would just snap and lose his temper with Tamakatari and the others... <I hope that doesn't happen...>

Taim's eyes opened at the mention of the word "shiny". But he drifted back to sleep as he realized there was no chance for profit.

"And knowing how Kingdom's work, usually people don't even have to work to get their titles. Kings come from son's, and usually the gaurds come from the sons of the previous Royal Gaurd. But not Cid here, I bet he worked hard to get where he is today." Lynx said the last part with a sarcastic tone.

(OOC: Jadguy is going to be so pissed at us when he gets on.)

Tamakatari finished whittling his stick.

"Now, what REALLY gets me, is that we could have avoided all of this, if people had just listened to me. This is the second time I made a suggestion, the first was when I say we should just leave that old guy, and when I wanted to leave now, but no, you guys wanted to 'interrogate' the thief. Now, if we had listened to me these last few times, and done things my way, we wouldn't have been trapped, and Cid wouldn't have to be sitting here taking shit from lowly pheasants as ourselves."
