He would eventually return to the command post, satisfied with his inspection of the grounds for now.
[Exit Corvus]

[Enter Corvus]
In the fresh morning air, Corvus made his way to the mess hall tent. He was not terribly hungry, but a good soldier never, ever passed on a meal.
He took a tray, loaded up, and headed to a table on the officers' section to sit and eat.

After eating, he put away the tray and stepped out of the mess hall tent. He looked up at the sky, partly cloudy with the sun shining brilliantly. The light reflected off his Solar emblem and he turned a bit to stop it. He rarely polished his armor. He kept it clean and oiled, but he hated it polished. There was a tactical advantage in not glimmering like a mirror on the battlefield.
He had given his day's theme some thought while eating, and elected to travel into the city. There were some things he wanted that were not available in the camp anyhow. Plus, he could travel up to the Castle and look into this Captain Helmsut's personnel file. He did not know the man at all, and though it might be good to get a feel for who his commanding officer was prior to his arrival.
So, he set off across the camp ground, headed for the gates. While he walked, he kept a wary eye out, as usual.

[Enter Cen from barracks]
Walking out in his armor, helmet, and sword, Private Cen walked confidently as he scanned the area; listening for anything important. It was then he saw Corvus, and his body-language changed.
He slumped his head into a more humble position and approached the higher Officer. He stopped, raised a hand in salute, and greeted Corvus with a "Sir!"

Corvus stopped and saluted, "Good morning, Private Cen. Carry on. Breakfast is still being served in the mess hall."

He gives a small nod and tucks his hand behind his back, with the other.
"I'd like to apologize for my leave the other day, sir. I had other duties to attend to." He explains, keeping his face stoic. His grey eyes look over Corvus. Somehow he pieced together what he was doing; judging from his position to the gate, and close proximity. Cen was a smart cookie when is came to this kind of thing.
"Pardon my asking, sir, but are you leaving the base?" He asks curiously, looking to the main gate.

[Enter Alexander from Medical Tent] Alexander left the tent with a yawn. He starts heading for the mess hall at slow jog, but slows when he passes the two soliders again. He only did this for a moment, realizing that they may start to think that he's following them. Once he arrives, he get his food and sits down at a table. Casually looking around, but his focus hits the soliders every so often.

He did not offer comment to the solder's lie about leaving to go eat and read a book in his bunk. He was also a smart cookie, and knew a badly told lie when he heard it.
As to the question, "Yes, I am en-route to the palace to conduct a review of a dossier, among a few other minor line items."
When Alex passed by, Corvus looked at him and offered a weak smile and a respectful nod before looking back to Cen.

Cen gave a small grin and pulled out an even smaller purse from the back of his pants. He held it up and showed it to Corvus.
"Think we can share a wheel-house then, sir? I have no duty today, and I've always wanted to see the city." He explains with a small twinge of excitement in his tone, however keeping his demeanor respectful.
"I have enough R&R time as well. I don't tend to use it often, sir." He adds.

He looks at the small bag, then to Cen, "I am not your watch supervisor. If you want a leave-pass, go obtain one at the Command Post. I will wait at the gate, but not for long."

Keeping his small grin, he takes out said pass and a 100 bit coin. He's had this leave-pass for a while, in case he needed it for an emergency. Same with the coin. Nobody really cares if you use an old pass, as long as your schedule is free and you have the R&R hours, it's all good. Celestia's army is probably the most lax of the three, Cen figured.
"I've been meaning to go to the city for a while now, sir. It's all taken care of, I know the leaving procedure." He states in a slightly smarmy tone before putting them both in the pouch and into his pocket.

"Then you have forgotten only one thing." He said, and eyed the soldier a bit.

Cen raised an eyebrow and his grin faded to a frown. He figured that Corvus was taunting him -- he hadn't forgotten anything, not a thing at all.
"Sir?" He asks, wanting clarification that he was joking around.

"You are off duty and on leave. Why are you in uniform?"
He folded his hands behind him, then turned to walk to the gate, "As I said, I will wait, but not long."

"Do I have to be out of uniform, sir? It's a dangerous time, we might be pulled over by a Lunar scout team and slaughtered!" He suggests, taking a step towards Corvus and putting a hand on the pommel of his jewel-encrusted sword.
