It’s funny really, even here, even in the most peaceful place I’ve been to since... well maybe since ever and even after all we’ve been through Fitzgerald and I are still act like were on a cold London street at night.... except now I have to take orders. This wasn’t how I’d hoped our little debates would turn out; for a man plunging into the unknown on his own accord Benjamin doesn’t have much of a backbone. I knew he was a little less headstrong than the average man but now it really is a shame he couldn’t lead us, that twig of a spine of his would have been so easy to twist. Unless of course he was faking it; avoiding a spotlight that could turn into a target. It could be that he knows more about Fitzgerald than I do. Then again perhaps I have simply overestimated his abilities, after all he did fail to predict his own wife’s reaction to being burdened with our problems.

To his credit his choice of guard seems well thought out, Celata is a most resilient employee. Perhaps not the friendliest sort but I get the feeling that as long I stay out of his way he’ll stay out of mine... unless...

“Gol dammit! He must of told him everything too! Am I the only one around here how can keep my mouth shut?”

Still there must be to keep all this in order, I guess that falls to Fitzgerald now. Might as well watch the famed captain captain at the wheel for while, I do need to figure out if there’s a way to keep him contained. It also seems more important that ever to prove my usefulness to the others. I’m sure I can figure out a way to play the soldier, although I’m not sure the same can be said for Ben. As frustrating as he has been today we can’t let off on his own at this point, I think he may be the only one in the “regiment” I see eye to eye with.

Although I suppose I should start making more of an effort with Fitzgerald now that he’s king. In some ways another bout between us could be useful. He’ll win, I’ll repent of my early foolishness, it could work. I wonder if his academy taught him prize fighting. I do to find some way to make him trust me, this partnership will never work otherwise.

In the meantime I hope to get I little more rest in the country before heading back into the fray, another night at least. It really is peaceful here, well the scenery and “locals” are anyway and I’ll take what I can get these days.
