How strange. As Athanar put his question to Laerdil, and then as Laerdil gave silent thought, looking from Athanar to himself and back again, it felt as if he were naked before this Elf, as if his very thoughts and motives were revealed. He felt himself faced with a question: "if you could find a way to be rid of Athanar, what would you do?"

Nothing! He is lord of Scarburg! I would continue to serve him as well as I may!

Verily?

Was the Elf speaking to him from mind to mind, or was he talking to himself? He did not know.

This whole time he had been staring at Athanar because he was finding it difficult to face the piercing eyes of the Elf. Suddenly he realized that Athanar had been talking to him, and had posed a question. He shook his head to get the fog out.

"I am sorry, lord. What did you ask me?"
