Okay, wow. I posted. I do not like it at all, it's uber long, but I did it anyway. If it doesn't make sense, PLEASE tell me. I wrote it while I was super tired...

The end there...I figured if a pregnant lady was ever going to faint, now would be a good time. If it's ridiculous, let me know and I can take it out. I feel like it's kind of dumb, but it amused me, so I kept it.

I think I'm viewing the timeline like this:

The trials end

While Coenred and the men at arms go out and start their drills:

Lithor goes out with men-at-arms.
Javan apologizes
Saeryn and Athanar finish their discussion
Matrim and Balvir give their message to Adhel.
Erbrand works on his tanning stuff.
The two W's are riding.

The drills continue while:

Saeryn goes to her room.
Javan finds Raban, the other kids do what ever.
Adhel and Matrim go to speak with Athanar.
Scyrr and Erbrand fight.
Lithor fakes the lamed horse and starts to bring him back.

The drills continue......while:

Adhel and Matirm leave Athanar.
Erbrand flees back to the mainhall to get his horse and leave.
He and Lithor meet, they talk, they plan, they pack. . .they leave.

The drills end probably not long after Erbrand and Lithor leave the settlement.
Scyrr is dragged back to the courtyard while the men are returning from drill (that means he is dumped somewhere not in the middle of the courtyard, otherwise, everyone would notice - it's more like on the edge, isn't it? By the kitchen?)
The two W's return...

And I think that's where we are, right?

I believe a lot of time can actually pass between the trials and when Erbrand and Scyrr fight, because Erbrand was working for some time before Scyrr even comes near.

I may not be remembering things right, plus I know I am not thinking very clearly anyway, so correct me if I'm wrong. What I wrote above is my impression of how the time is working out....this way, everyone can be back where they need to be and we have no confusion of time, no bouncing back and forth.
