"Oh."

The explanation is enough for Cole to use - he's been milling around the Gallows, after all, and has seen people coming and going and talking about some of these terms. Having someone put them into perspective is useful.

The latter half of what Marcus has to say, on the other hand, draws a clear line for Cole. He's going to be reported if he doesn't muddle Marcus's memory...so he has to make a choice.

Still, it sounds as if this is...a better way to help.

"...I will join," he rasps, giving a resolute little nod. "But...I will have to figure where I fit."

"You will," Marcus agrees. "Some move between divisions, if they realise their talents might be useful elsewhere."

Not him.

He considers Cole for a longer moment, and then, more broadly, this conversation on this rampart at this hour. He says, "I'm going to resume my sentry," not unkindly, just bluntly. "I'd advise you not to make trouble for yourself by wandering so, at night. You should return to the room you're staying in," and that is if he has a room, "and report yourself in the morning."

Strangely enough, the idea that he doesn't have to slip and settle too soon is soothing to the Spirit. He gives a little nod as Marcus expresses that he is going to go - wincing a little at the thought of him making trouble wandering about.

He doesn't have a room, of course. So he will just have to work harder at not being seen out at night.

"I will," he assents to making himself known - and after a moment of awkward silence, he adds, "...Thank you. For giving me a chance."
