This was a good post . . . But, you will need to delete your references to Aldwulf - possibly change your references to Brytta or Rochil.
Aldwulf was in a more serious mood than you suggest as shown by my post just previous to yours. He actually was considering killing the two guards. It is out of character for him to suddenly be laughing and commenting about how Liol has decided to handle it.

but Adwulf was right behind, fingering his moustache helping himself not to laugh.

Aldwulf was the first to brake into laughter, Liol followed. "Guards are so stupid," she burst out. The others nodded. "I think the husband thing was funnier, though," Adwulf cried out. The lady watched the man while he laughed. "Is it that impossible for you to imagine me, having a husband? I might have one in the future, you know" she snapped. "Am I that ugly?" she continued. Liol felt the rage inside of her just grow and grow. The man stared at her, quiet now. "But I didn’t mean...I didn’t.." he said quickly.
