Saeryn guided Farahil silently, motioning direction with a slight cock of her head. Linduial's room was at the far end of the hall. She knocked quietly, announcing herself, waiting to hear Lin's voice before opening the door.

"Good morning, love. How did you sleep?"

Linduial looked at Saeryn sleepily, shrugging her response with a tired smile. Better than had been expected, then. Saeryn eyed her with the concern of an older sister, spotting each visible bruise and knowing well that more lay beneath her soft covers and bedclothes.

"I've brought you a visitor. No, love, not Lčođern." Saeryn winked. As soon as the little girl had been allowed, she'd hustled in a short-legged run and skip to see her friend. She'd fallen asleep next to Lin last night and Saeryn had gathered her to herself for a moment, smoothing her soft curls away from her face before bringing her to her father and returning to her friend's side. Saeryn and Lčođern had grown close over the time spent awaiting the return of their men folk.

A few short words later, Saeryn deposited Lord Farahil with his sister, excusing herself politely.

"My lord holds court this day. Please do join us if you feel so inclined." She pulled the door shut behind her, marvelling as always how lightly the heavy wood turned on its hinges.

Pausing at Degas's room, she knocked. No response. Already downstairs, she thought. She would beg stories of him later...

She descended the stairs with the lightness of a dancer. Today would be a day to remember. With Lin returned safely and Degas back as well, and with the Lord Farahil's unexpected appearance, the day would be a fine one even without the added interest of court. Saeryn had been excused from such things as a child and had loathed them when her brother required her attendance. Yet now... the events of Eodwine's household and lands seemed far more important and interesting to her than those of her own ever had.

She met Degas coming from the kitchen as she stepped into the Hall. Together, they found their places. Saeryn smiled to Eodwine and wondered at the smile with which he favored her. It seemed troubled, though she stood with Degas... Saeryn had never been certain of her friend and protector's feelings toward her twin. She brushed the thought from her mind. A day to remember, she reminded herself, and she watched the Hall fill.
