If Brander could see, this would definitely be the time where he would turn his gaze towards his mother. With penetrating and questioning eyes, he would try to learn what his mother thought of this question, or demand. Instead, the blind boy sat still, trying to digest the questions placed upon him and his family, what in truth was news.

"I must demand that you speak now, for the political stability of the Dúnedain in exile is at stake. If you know nothing, then tell me what you know of Faerim and the Elves, for it may be an aid to my next plans to know their minds.”

The Political stability of the Dúnedain? It sounded odd, absurd even, that his brother was part of something that was obviously dangerous. Either way, voluntarily or involuntarily, Brander could not imagine that Faerim, his own brother, would risk the safety of his fellow kin in order to follow another; the elven. Furrowing his brow, he thought of the many events that had taken place the last couple of days. He realised that he hadn't at once really spoken to his brother. It was nevertheless unbelievable that Faerim would go off without telling him. They had always had a close relationship, and realising that, Brander started wondering whether there had been a reason behind his brother's silence on the questioned matter. Was there a reason, aside from the fact that his brother thought him a cripple? Instantly, he swallowed, reproaching himself for even thinking his brother thought in such a manner of him. Faerim had always been so kind; the only one who had understood and been encouraging him to be independent. However, was there truth in what he had thought? Had his brother intentionally kept this a secret, thinking that Brander would not be in any use anyway?

For a moment or two, the blind boy considered all the possibilities around Faerim's decision to keep whatever it was that he was doing secret. It was only now that he first realised that none of his parents spoke, and neither did Renedwen. Did no one know anything about Faerim's intentions; were they as ignorant as himself, or did they know, but were unwilling to tell?
