"You know, you're not being very polite." The Handsman said, standing up, an odd edge of menance to his voice. "I think I deserve a little more respect than that.  Don't I, lads?"

Only one or two of them nodded their heads, the rest didn't seem to be paying attention.

"Why don't I come over there and we see how you tough you are then?"

"Enough of that." A soldier exiting the toll booth snapped. Stripes on his shoulders identified him as an officer of some kind. "Open the barricade, you louts, I've no patience for this sort of thing."

The Handsman who had been attempting to instigate a conflict with Vance immediately backed off, and went to work with a few others to push a gap in the barricade for Vance to pass through.

"Sorry about that, sir." The officer said with a nod to Vance. "Don't think too poorly of them.  Can't see it with their gear on, but they're not much more than kids.  Get stuck with guard duty 'cause they lack the experience for anything else."
