Veni barged into a tent that was at the far side of the barracks. "What did you say to the commander?"
The sergeant looked at him as if he had entered the wrong room. "What are you talking about young man?" he asked with an arched eyebrow. He was not even in the mood to entertain people like these. There were soldiers in his tent that had come to receive orders from him and that was the only thing that he had the patience to face. One of the soldiers that had died was his subordinate so one could say that he was in a mourning state. Only for this civilian to come asking him questions.
He just stared at Veni and watched to see what would happen next.
"I want to know what happened with the commander?" Veni said to the segeant. "Since the time you came to see him, he has been restless. Did something happen?"
"What has anything got to do with you?" the sergeant said to Veni.
