Eddie’s muted blues avoided the gaze of others as he ground his teeth together thoughtfully. Today had a more than satisfactory turnout - Ed only hoped that this wouldn’t give anybody else more opportunity to pass biting remarks at the currently unpopular leader. ❝ A’right. First and foremost, I think that we should begin by welcoming our new joiners. Recently, we have seen a spike in arrivals which I am very pleased to see. So - Beau, Cassian, Richard, Josephine, Maxine, Aspen, Kaleo, Marlowe, Memphis and Elijah - welcome. ❞
❝ Don’t forget to pick up a walkie-talkie from me on the way out, and make sure you sign up for a rank if you haven’t yet already; being able to take on responsibilities around Flintlock allows for the smooth running of this group and makes it easier to provide for everybody equally. Your help will be greatly appreciated and, in return, will help me keep all of you happy, healthy and - most importantly - safe. ❞
Brows knitted together briefly, lowering his gaze to nod his head contemplatively. ❝ With that being said, activity around the lodge has been fantastic recently. You should all be very proud of yourselves. And… I would like to treat all of you to a camping trip. At the base of the mountain, the snow has thawed out and apparently the weather is currently perfect for a trip. So, we will set off on the thirtieth of March and return on the third of April. People seemed to really enjoy it last year, so I hope that it’ll give everybody a moment to relax and unwind. ❞
❝ Now… I’ve noted that there have been three people who have been especially active around the lodge in the more recent times, so - well done Freddie, well done Aspen, well done Blake. Find me after the meeting as I have a little something for the three of you as a reward. ❞ He looked up, searching for the three of them in the crowd, holding his gaze momentarily before looking away again.
A long pause. And then, Ed chose to address the elephant in the room. ❝ Now... ❞ He inhaled a slow, deep breath. ❝ I would like to just remind everybody here - everybody - of the rules around here. ❞ He was vague. He couldn’t even admit to everybody what he’d done. Not that he even had to say a goddamn thing; his personal life was nobody’s business.
❝ I was deeply disappointed at the last meeting by the lack of respect regarding my personal life. So, I will warn you once and once only: if anybody would like to continue to disrespect anybody around here - and I don’t even mean myself, I mean anybody in the lodge - the consequences are grave. Don’t make me have to turn to those consequences because nobody would like them. ❞
Eyes were stern, Ed’s gaze shifting across the faces in the room. His authority suddenly appeared far more serious that he’d been letting on recently. If people believed that they could begin to disrespect the Captain, then Eddie was more than prepared to prove that his position within the lodge was not once to be looked at lightly. With an uncompromising gaze which could make anybody’s blood run cold, he allowed for his words to sink in for a moment before he finished his point, ❝ Do not galvanize my anger. That would be a stupid thing to do. ❞ He paused, and then he moved on.
The next point did not seem to be linked to one another, but to Ed it really had been. Proof as to why one should not provoke Edmund Stirling-Moray. ❝ So, the thieves have eventually been found and have been dealt with. ❞ Shot and killed. But, Eddie would not tell the people of Flintlock this. ❝ And so, we have managed to return some of our supplies. Not all, but enough. But enough is better than nothing at all, so lets be grateful that we still have enough supplies to keep us alive. ❞
❝ We had a visit from the Badlands. They have recently had a change of leadership; a man named Salem. ❞ Eddie would not go into much detail, but he didn’t exactly trust this Salem yet. ❝ We have agreed on a trading agreement between them plus the ability to have diplomatic immunity to travel to and from the Badlands for trade, so to speak. They are doing well currently so… let’s remain civil. ❞
❝ Other than that, keep doing what you’re doing. Well done everybody, and we’ll meet here next on the forth. Now, go to dinner. ❞
