For really, I think that the poorest he that is in England hath a life to live as the greatest he. And therefore truly, Sir, I think it's clear that every man that is to live under a Government ought first by his own consent to put himself under that Government. And I do think that the poorest man in England is not at all bound in a strict sense to that Government that he hath not had a voice to put himself under.

Fralinia wrote:"But of course," noted Jens, who was still fully stiff and stock, facing the friar with utmost reverence and respect. "Half of Europe's pitched in to fund this undertaking. I actually made a private contribution myself, when a large number of colleges and places of learning pooled funds to make a joint donation. It payed for the mobile lab, at any rate. Which reminds me..." He trailed off.
He had been meaning to get the lab ready for departure for several days now. It was a simple procedure, he just had to check all of his equipment and make sure that everything was in place so that nothing would get damaged during bumps on the road. However, it would only take about half an hour and the departure was far enough off and lengthy enough in ceremony that he could probably get it done later. Instead, Jens looked to Willem.
"I do believe we've rather gotten off on the wrong foot, haven't we? What say we grab some breakfast and talk it out like civilized people. I heard that the food stalls over in Jerusalem proper have great fresh bread, and we haven't got to be anywhere to be for a few hours. I know a man who can get us a car, what do you think?" He looked to the friar and to Botha for a nod of agreement or reaction. The friar he thought might accept, but Botha might be slightly less keen on the offer.

Reverend Norv wrote:Friar Ibram nodded. "It is early," he noted, "and tempers tend to fray before dawn. Nothing that some fresh bread can't fix, I'm sure." The Remembrancer turned to Willem, and smiled briefly as the Dutchman accepted the invitation. "Excellent," Ibram said briefly. "I'll grab some clothes too, and we'll meet back here shortly, then." The remembrancer felt a glow of satisfaction. Men who break bread together are that much less likely to break each others' necks, and that puts me one step closer to recovering whatever ancient knowledge lies hidden in the East.
A few minutes later, the friar returned, fully dressed. Ibram's clothes were well-made but well-worn: leather and steel and sand-washed silk, brown and green and grey. A battered leather-bound book hung at his waist, sealed with many chains and locks, and he carried an oak walking-staff capped with steel at either end. Beneath the friar's knee-length leather coat, an ornate and ancient-looking sheathed elecksword could just be seen. Ibram nodded once more to Willem and Jens. "Sorry for the delay," he remarked. The remembrancer laid one hand on the book. "There are things that I do not like to leave just sitting in a tent."
Out of the corner of his eye, Ibram saw a young man with very short hair approach the group. The remembrancer cast a practiced eye over the new arrival. Soldier. Partially invalided. Experienced, but not as much as Willem - too young. Mercenary? Certainly has spent a lot of time under the southern sun. Ibram grunted softly to himself. An asset if he's loyal. Not an issue to remove if he's not.
"Excuse me," the young man shouted. "Mind if I join you?"
Ibram shrugged. "I have no objection," he replied softly. "I am Friar Ibram, of the Society of the Resurrection. This is Mister Willem Botha, and this is Professor Jens Kjeldsen. We were just going into town to get some breakfast. I take it that you would like to join us?"
