As Themyrius led the team away from the gate and towards the polis, Robert followed behind with Crescent and continued. "I don't pretend to be an expert on the culture. If this sets them off, or that does, or just shouldn't be done." He let his eyes drop to his feet and as he just stared down there. "This isn't easy for me, you know. I'm not the person that admits he needs help or even really asks for it. And I am most certainly not diplomatic. So I'll take what help I can." 'You know,' he decided, 'For not wanting to talk to chaplains and psychologists, and ignoring most of the base, this isn't half bad.'
But he was a little out of his element now. "And we'll call it 'Greek Culture for Dummies.' Because I'd prefer to piss off as few of them here as possible."
When Ak'nar introduced himself, Robert gave a bow of his head. It was both diplomatic and safe. And he focused again on Crescent.
For all the doubts he had about himself, he could at least BS part of his job. "I mean, I can do 'bodyguard' when the times comes, that's easy. I think we can safely say that I have the physically imposing, bad*** and extremely deadly covered." He leaned in close with a hint of a smile. "You are intimidated by me, right?"
