— To be honest, I dislike the coat. The way it hangs. But in the field, when the only time we have is short, lives lost with every breath, one look is the only window they might have to find me. “They” meaning my men. “They” meaning my enemy. Both. At least as a Knight-Commander, the giveaway is the tilt of your men’s heads as you move in the battlefield. Veterans might catch it if they have the breathing room, but the green men won’t. The red and the lion mane out me like a pointed finger, but I am proud of it all the same. Against my judgement, I am proud.
