Liam mostly sat and relaxed while they were with the tailor, giving his input on occasion but admitting that fashion was never his thing, he liked simple and practical. When the need called for something more fancy he offered up that the Queen usually picked out something for him, as the Captain of the guard of course, because she didn’t trust what he’d pick for himself.
It took much longer than expected-but then Alden did need an entire wardrobe as opposed to just one or two replacement pieces as was normally the order, so Liam made the call of leaving Alden in the restricted quarters though without guard in a sense. Only one would remain posted outside the building itself which Laim explained was typical, guards were posted throughout Atlantis and on their way back he explained that while they were soldiers in a sense they were also there to help so ‘guard’ duty might easily turn into fixing a broken wagon wheel, or assisting in some other way.
After all, if there was very little crime there didn’t really need to be a whole lot of guarding.
“No need for thanks.” He gave with a shake of his head. “We’ll see to new quarters for you tomorrow.” Something already discussed as far as him staying one more night in the room he’d been occupying. “I will be busy with Atlantis on the move, however I will have one of the guild masters come for you so you can begin your days shadowing different duties.” So he could eventually pick a profession. “If all goes well I will be able to meet with you after dinner to show you new quarters.” At least until Alden moved into a guildhall that was.
Such was the plan and it would be carried out, with Liam arriving dutifully the next night. During the day Atlantis rose and for the first time it became clear that the sky they were seeing before was false. Once the island breeched the surface somewhere off the coast the barriers creating the false sky blinked away like a thousand little candles snuffed out. The island itself was massive so while it was in fact moving, navigating the Oceans, it was something that was barely felt, only if you were completely still and even then some would argue that you were just thick in the head. When Liam arrived as they started out, and would head for the castle, he wondered, “How was the first day?” And duty he’d been shown.
