Rowenna stood and went over to the door, bent down, and peered through the keyhole for long moments. Finally she stood back up, sighed, and came back to Saeryn.
"Well, at least they haven't stationed a guard outside your door, as far as I can tell! You really must be much more careful what you say, especially to Athanar! But just as much to any of his men, especially those who report to him themselves. We will have to be more careful now. I think it would be best if you do not speak to Athanar at all unless he speaks to you first, and then answer only the question he asks. And don't speak to Wynflaed either, unless she talks to you. Try to keep things light and off the subject of who is eorl. Can you do that? But also, please lay low for a while. And talk to your husband! Patch things up with him. I know you that you will stand your ground on this, and that is good, but try not to say anything that will rankle him or raise suspicion. Can you do that, Saeryn? Please say yes, or else I won't be able to help you."
