As the man was about to say his name, another man, tall and muscular, dark-brown hair and beard with blue-grey eyes, carrying a sheild on his back and a sword by his belt entered the pub. He looked around, as if looking for someone. He looked towards the man and shouted "You!". He immediatly un-sheathed his blade and exclaimed "You are the one I am hunting, for high treason against Gondor!" He started to run towards the man, but Harenthiel stopped him. "Who are you and what do you want with this man?"
"I am Barodir, son of Barodel, and I am a guard of Gondor! This man has stolen many items and treasures of the White City, and I was commanded to capture him."
"Barodir!" the hooded man said. "I am not the one you are searching for. But, if he truly is in this area, he will come here."
To this, Harenthiel added "Stay and drink and sing with the rest of us!"
Barodir answered "No, I am not one to sing. All I require is some Ale and pipe-weed, then I shall be content by myself. Thank you anyway.
"And you" he said, pointing to the man again,"if you are lying, I will slit your throat as you slumber." He then put his blade away, went to the bar, got what he needed, and found a seat near the fireplace.
"What was that all about?" Harenthiel asked. The man replied "Nothing. Now where were we?..."
