GM- some background

I guess I should actually talk about "The Gravemen".

It's not very long or involved because it was an attempt to see if I could write something that wasn't 180k words hahaha Also, I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in it before taking it any further. As it is, I'm trying to work on a sequel in my spare time now.
...What spare time isn't taken up by video games, I mean. *cough*

The King of Predala has two main elite fighting forces that are collectively known as Gravemen. The Imalt-wor are men and women trained mostly in hand-to-hand combat. They're the long arms of the law; they travel the country keeping the peace and commanding obedience and respect. The Banam-hin are the elite swordsmen whose duty is solely to the Crown. They are rarely seen outside the palace, and protect the royal family and the capital during peacetime. During war, they're usually the King's strongest play. More casually they're known as Blades, just as Imalt-wor are referred to as Reds, due to their red sashes of office.

The King's great-niece has gone missing, and Asdelar and Hinego have been discreetly sent out to ferret her out. Since they're from two opposing branches of the Gravemen, there's already some mild hostility there; what doesn't help is that Asdelar is a cheerful laid-back flirt, whereas Hinego is strict and arrogant. Asdelar becomes fond of Hinego, and proceeds to tease him mercilessly for the majority of their journey. Hinego, on the other hand, has been hurt before, and is too embarrassed by Asdelar's casual advances to do anything more impressive than puff up like an indignant cat. Don't take either of them too seriously; I clearly don't.

Here's an example of them being very mature:

"You have a map and a limited idea of what the landscape

of your own country looks like," Hinego said a trifle snidely.

"If you're bored, why don't you study it?"

However, Asdelar refused to let the taunting get to him.

Besides, it only infuriated Hinego more when he kept his own

cool. "There's no need to be so catty about it," he remarked,

which got exactly the reaction he'd anticipated.

"Catty?" Hinego glared at him darkly. "Women are ‘catty',

Lorem," he spat. "I am merely suggesting you use your brain

rather than your mouth for once."

That was an opening Asdelar simply could not pass up.

"Talking isn't all I can do with my mouth, you know." And

he smiled suggestively for good measure.

Hinego predictably began sputtering in shocked affront,

though the faint coloring to his cheeks was an unexpected bonus.

He let the insults go on for a few moments before giving a

short laugh and waving a hand dismissively in the air.

"Don't get your feathers ruffled, Idra. I'm not foolish enough

to tangle with a Red, on the field or off it."

Hinego flung him a scorching glare and urged his horse into

a trot, leaving his laughing companion behind.
