I can't help but wonder if any sort of dangerous consequences might fall on the city in the near future thanks to the apparent neglect of its leadership. Will Balgair and Heather be forced to contend with something dire in future because of this? I'm eager to find out.

Regarding the now, though, it's an interesting contrast seeing how Balgair handles the authority of his station in an official capacity versus the moments when his station is recognized by members of the general public. Heather makes for a particularly interesting variable here, too. It's clear that without her presence and his understanding that his impatience for nonsense will directly affect how she feels, Balgair would've been far less restrained with the Staff Sergeant Tackett than he was.

Oh, if Heather hadn't been there, he would have probably unloaded both barrels on the sergeant without hearing the whole story.

I haven't brought it out yet, but in the Saor-Shelbhean active military members, which balgair currently is, can take over the running of the city services, under the claim of malfeasance and endangering the community.
