Guards' Reporting for Duty

I was sitting at the Crossroads and saw these two guards cross paths. They just kept walking their route back and forth and it reminded me of the mundaneness of work.

And the funny thing is I'm looking at this and I see a quest I can pick up in the back and it's bugging the crap out of me. I have this compulsion to take every quest in front of me and I can't believe I sat there taking this pic and didn't notice that.
