The Prince was lending him one of his own Squires to attend to him? Lafet felt quite honored. (Of course, he didn't know that it was the Prince's ONLY squire and only member of his court) "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Abe was so full of questions he wanted to blurt out... how many Trabians, when were they coming, did they think there could be a fight, where in Trabian were they all from, what was Sir Lafet's rank and family history, but he kept his mouth shut. He was NOT going to insult the Prince by being nosy and such.
"This is your keep and your people. We are here to assist you. If there is any problem that arises," and there was bound to be something, be it disagreements over food, or Trabian attention to the Balamb women, "General Rotharr asks that you speak to him directly and it shall be handled promptly."
