When Faramund turned his back to him and went his way, lord Athanar was near explosion. His right hand went for the hilt of his sword. But he calmed down, barely touching the knob of his sword's handle. Had someone noticed? He was worried but pulled a fair face.

"Coen! At ease..." He turned around to say and waved with his hand for him to take care of the men and their needs as lord Farmund had said.

"Thornden?" he asked turning to him.

Thornden nodded and took the few steps to stand by his side while two local men at arms took care of his and lord Athanar's horses.

Suddenly lord Athanar turned back to the riders of Scarburg.

"Hilderinc!"

Hilderinc was surprised of the call. But he managed to answer controlledly: "Yes sir!"

"Come Hilderinc! I want you with us."

Athanar glanced at Coen and nodded sharply. Coen had unmounted and answered with a nod. Then Athanar turned towards Thornden.

"I wish Coen to stay with the men" he half whispered to Thornden, "but looking at this lord's behaviour I do think it better there are three of us rather than two..."

He turned towards the hall and followed lord Faramund who had now already vanished inside. Thornden and soon Hilderinc as well followed his steps.

A man ran after them.

"Please lord, follow me." He took a few steps but then suddenly turned to the yard and yelled "Crowhair! You're responsible for the horses! And Mallorhan, see to the wine for the men!"

He turned to lord Athanar and apologised. "I'm sorry lord, just too many things depending on one head..."

Before Stedford could turn back to lead them, lord Athanar nodded and smiled, halting him: "Steadford you are? Not all heads are able to do what you do."

There was a moment of silence betwee the two.

"Now, please show us to lord Faramund's chambers... and if you will yourself check with lord Friduhelm... Well, we'd be happy to meet him at his place if he is unable to meet us at lord Friduhelm's quarters. Just for you to know..."

Stedford looked back at lord Athanar, nodded and then turned to lead them inside the great Hall.
