I've been here a long time. You'd be surprised how hard it is to get folks on the same page about anything, even something like coldblooded murder.

[And that'll always be a point of contention for Nick, but as he's said time and time again, they're not cops. What the Guard does is an unfortunately thankless job that doesn't come with any of the perks authority would give them -- and honestly, that might be what's best in a town like Hadriel. If they had any real power, people might join for the wrong reason and take advantage of it; however, it takes a certain kind of person to be selfless enough to do what they do, given the scrutiny and insults they get so frequently.

It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. Someone has to make this city a better place for everyone.]
