Thoughts of Alwig Siward II



Given everything I've witnessed lately, I've heard muttered whisperings of  me being too tightly wound, too quick to judge people, too cautious, too confrontational. 

Yet oddly, Gerwolf himself commends me for being like that, he seems to believe as I do, that it is necessary. He speaks most highly that I am quite protective, he is a good man, a good leader, but he can be fit to bouts of recklessness, but isn't he allowed to be with us standing by? Therefore he must know that what I do is to protect him. After all most of us are paid to make sure he and his grounds remains safe. So why can't the others see that all I'm doing is what is expected of me.

But I do worry, I worry that perhaps I might push the other guards away, that I might appear too fanatical, too devout. That perhaps my mannerism may leave me being too confrontational. But isn't being confrontational all part of being a good guardsmen? That you question every stranger that approaches the House, question their movements, question what motivations they could have to strike against us.
