« You, maggot ! » captain wolf barks
« Huh... what, me ?? » Nigel jumps a little, surprised and a bit scared ; he didn't listen much to what their « officer » was talking about, pretty sure he wouldn't ever be involved in that tactical stuff, due to being puny and meek.
« Yes, you ! You're a puny and meek one. »
« Huh... yes... »
« Yes what ? »
« Yes captain ! »
« So, if you're not gonna be good in close or ranged combat, you should be encouraging the troops by playing the drum.
« Ooh ?? okay ! Sounds good to me ! » Nigel lightens up ; sounds like an important, yet not too dangerous or complicated role.
The captain hands him a drum and sticks, then looks around.

« ...And we also need a fife player ! »
« A what now ? »
« Ffffff... » captain wolf puffs through his teeth with frustration. Some elements are not taking this whole thing as seriously as they ought to.
« A fife, you don't know what a fife is ?? » silence. «  Holy... anyway. So, who can play the flute ?»
Silence.
« ...That's what a fife is, okay ?? it's a damn flute ! Now who among you worms can play a damn flute ?? »
Another silence ; captain wolf almost breaks his cane.
« I can play the flute ! » Douglas declares with a sly smile. Captain wolf looks at him. He had pegged him as a short and fat cross-eyed runt, and his uniform is dirty and ragged. But he'll do.
« Perfect ! Sold ! Here we go. »
And he hands him the instrument.
