Another joung man, stepping into Christy´s for the first time, looking around curiously.
Small, in his middle twenties, and well cept. Neat haircut beneath the helmet and open, intelligent eyes.
William greeted the regulars somewhat shyly, but seemed determined not to disgrace his new uniform.
His movement and body control suggested that he spent much time ceeping fit, and his reflexes to the occasional slap or punch to a sholder clearly showed some form of martial arts training focused on evasion and control.
William Earnest Barnikel, the newest Constable in the ranks had fitted the fresh signs only today, and had wanted to celebrate his new rank as Constable. Soon he was relaxing as the other Bobbys greeted him, and he took the occasional joke with calm acceptance. Even if he was one of the joungest here he knew enough to see even the rougher sort of pick as what it was : friendly testing, and a sign of acceptance. But still... between all these experienced officers he wanted to hide, not to be in the middle of the floor.
He had learned early always to ceep his back to the wall and it was hard to forget, hard to supress all training and ceep the nagging suspicions in check.
He would learn, would prove worthy. Would serve.
Perhaps he could make undone all the blood, then. Even if it had been in self defense.
"To serve and to protect, and to honour her Majesty !" How they laughes and agreed... jes, he was at home. "Cheers !"
