Del looked with some consternation at Idruil, about to speak but deciding not to since Idruil's remark was addressed to Atharen actually. Who am I to interfere? However it was Ferethor who spoke, very persuasively. "Your decision is your own to make, Idruil. But we have others to protect and Aelimur alone would not suffice, I deem. You may have to do away with lone outlaw or so. I'm asking you for the sake of their safety and the success of the expedition for you to stay with them, though hard it may seem. Will you consent?"
Del raised his eyebrow at that for he did not think Ferethor was be a person with persuasive powers until now, as he caressed his well-worn buckskin sheath of his keen sword. That does have some sense in't, I perceive. Especially as this will not actually come to blade-in-blade combat and too much will only be hinderance... But he spoke not and waited. It would sort itself out in the end.
