"I don't think it's been that long," he says, then frowns, "but I can't think of anything since. Surely you've attended a banquet or two in the past, what, eight years?"
He takes a moment to think back on events from that long ago. "From here it really does seem quaint. At the time, well... it's strange to look back on events that involved my torture and consider them minor. But they are, in the greater scheme of things, I suppose." The worst thing then had been that Chaos-corrupted Man of Iron.
He shakes his head, and looks at the door, and seemingly out past it.
"but you're right. A few banquets before Herodor, maybe. Since then we've been packed off to the second front, but even there we've been found valuable. In a way."
He squints, this mission to kill Sturm was incredibly important, and completely suited to the Tanith 1st's skillset, but he can't help himself as he worries about the rest of his command.
"Maybe there was a quiet dinner with Van Voytz over Phantine, as well. Once we started taking it back."
"That's all right," he shrugs, "it was a long time ago."
Then he smiles. "See, Colonel-Commissar, you've had some nice meals. Some fancy ones."
He'd been happy to be chosen for this mission, sure it showed that his talents and status were recognized. Now, all he wanted was to get the feth off this planet.

He laughs a little. "Trouble with different factions in the guard seems rather quaint, all things considered. Less wirewolves. No glyphs."
