Everything is so much more ... simple, here.
I never was one to chafe under the rules of society and the all that they brought. "Urbane," I've been called, and well I know it. I've taken quite naturally to that world. I'd go as far to say that I'm known for it.
Perhaps that's why I've always resisted admitting that I ... I enjoy this. The men under my command, the simplicity and directness of it. Being so far from everything, all the complications of life left behind. It's a wilder, harsher world, and sometimes it involves blood and death, but neverrarely never ... never without good cause behind it.
It's not that I wish I could do this all of the time. When I go back to Nallen, I'll be grateful baths and tea and ... and my wife, of course. My family and my wife are ... well missed. But for now ...
Problems don't actually vanish when you don't have to think of them, perhaps ... but it is nice to just not think of them for a blessed moment.
