Tara for Lotar:

Lotar looked into the eyes of the two women as they sat in his tent. Both looked edged on the spot, their nerves tight. But their earnest plea could not be from any place but their hearts. He stood up and faced them.

'It is agreed. I will let you take our sickest women and children. I could do little but refuse, they need it so. I thank ye for your kind deeds, all of ye. This will bring some joy to a place that has long had little'

Lotar saw the smile on his son's face, and shrugged him off. His conflict was great within him. He wished to make a home for himself, and the people of Bree were in his way. But he loathed the idea of killing to have such a pleasant life. He pondered whether these two could bring a peace all could be happy for. He also wondered if Guthwne would live with such a thing...

The thought of the man called his thoughts into order, and he looked back up, 'I will tell you now there are those who will not like this plan. But I have no doubt that they will not get in your way. With that I must leave you for now'

He quickly left the tent, and it took him very little time to find Guthwine.

'Hear me now. We are taking the sickest of the women and children into Bree for care. We have some men escorting them there as soon as we can. I want no word from ye of this. I have sat idle too long, and now I take action that I think is wise. You will stay away from this Guthwine'...

Child for Guthwine

Guthwine turned around and was about to explode, lecturing Lotar on how dangerous and unwise such an action could prove. But, before he could open his mouth to complain, one of the women with a very sick child came rushing up to Lotar, knocking Guthwine out of the way.

She threw herself onto her knees and bent low to the ground, offering thanks to Guthwine for finding help for her sick child. Thoroughly embarassed but also privately pleased, Lotar reached down and helped the woman to stand again, while glaring back at Guthwine who remained strangely silent.
