Summary
He tried to stay behind the company, following at their heels on foot, but despite the slump of his shoulders and how he stared at the road he could not help but overtake them. To walk to the front.
A leader, not a laybrother.
That he was playing at otherwise was nothing but a farce, stomach-churning in the sheer delusion of it. As if it wasn’t obvious that his hands weren’t calloused from hard labor but from battle. As if wearing the rough-spun tunic of a common man meant he was less blood-stained than those wearing their armor.

Canon Setting, Raymond POV. Raymond de Merville realizes he knows the Mute. He ruminates on the Fourth Crusade, the pilgrimage, the nature of man, and the silent laybrother.
