[Imperial]-"Lets hope none are so bold."
Finch takes his leave of the tent and sets his mind to the unfortunate task immediately before him. When he returns to the Espiegel it is immediately apparent he is not his usual jovial self. Whether or not the crew know of Orkans punishment and the cause of it Finch simply gives a single order to Edmond.
[Imperial]-"Tie quartermaster Ornvinge to whipping post in camp; if he has not flown away, that is."
Edmond being Orkans immediate superior is put to the task of binding Orkan to the whipping post in camp. Finch gives him the chance to remove his shirt to prevent the clothing from becoming ruined. The entire time the procession occurs Finch watches with what is becoming more and more a trademark scowl but does his best to hide his eyes beneath the brim of his hat. Gripped tight in Finches left hand is the long piece of leather that will be the instrument of pain this morning. When both offending parties are bound to their posts and all parties made to watch are present Finch straightens his chin and speaks the lines he had been practicing in his head until this moment.
[Imperial]-"'Ere we have a reminder of what happens tah those who fraternize and play when at warh. As captain of the Espiegel I like tah think my law is fair but there be costs for followin' the rules. When not aboard the Espiegel every scalawag is expected tah follow the laws of port, an' here we have one who has seen fit to break those laws. As such, the punishment of fifteen lashes shall be dolled out to the offenda's."
Finch turns to Edmond and hands him the lash.
[Imperial]-"First Mate, it be yer duty tah deal punishment to Quartermaster Ornivald. Fifteen lashes, no more no less."
Finch turns to the general/captain and nods to them, waiting for their speech to the soldiers and the go ahead for the lashing to begin.
