I was caught off-guard because I wasn't around when they started doing this... I was expecting something more like throwing myself at the infantry like in the past. A glorious sacrifice, not a stupid one. Hrafn learned his lesson and will not do it again until some fat old rich man of Sirion offers himself for such a mission.
I can imagine that. I feel as that they should have told you what you're volunteering for personally, but that's me.
