Ajax first act upon returning to the mansion is to take the shirt he was given and bleach it white (it was a desert cream). He then borrows a handful of needles and thread and some cloth and proceeds to SLOWLY sew a symbol of Stasis onto a tabard he fashions from a cape (also bleached). For anyone watching it is an amusing process as the delicate needles are tiny in his massive, scarred and callused hands and because what would ordinarily result in a stuck finger instead blunts or bends a needle. He goes through over a dozen.
Afterwards Ajax spends a few hours inspecting, cleaning and finally sharpening the sword from the cave.
"This was a soldier's sword. It has seen hard use and been well cared for. It bears a unit insignia and an inspection mark. My new friends, I will be greatful to you and in your debt for the rest of my days. Unless you have any questions for me I am going to sleep. I have not slept more than an hour or two in the last week and, in truth, no Orc sleeps well aboard a ship, so it has been even longer since I slept well. Lord Ari, I awaken to pray with the dawn. Brightsoul and I will be ready to depart when you are."
