Seniority. What a joke.
Karodin jammed a thumb against his muscled chest plate, "Karodin of Emerbold, rank of Decanus at 18, Tesserarius at 22, and the youngest Pilus Prior in the history of the Aethra Legion's 2nd Cohort. If you want to play the rank game, Decanos Pavlos, I'll bend you over my knee and fistf*ck you in the arse-- don't. F*CK. with me!"
Karodin clenched his jaw, gnashing his teeth. He hated talking like a Centurion... His military days were long behind him.
Seven hells... He shouldn't HAVE to talk like that anymore!
He begrudgingly accepted that there were times... though rare, that he had to let his military background show. Some people thought they could do or say whatever they wanted because they had rank or seniority.
