"I greet you, then, Norjm and Fliede, and Hameth," Eodwine replied, looking into the face of each of them in turn. He considered a moment, then said, "I will speak with Hameth first, in my room, while Norjm and Fliede take the hospitality of my hall." He turned and looked back at Harreld and Thornden who sat gawking. "Thornden! Please show this Hall's hospitality to these two fine Eorlingas. And Rowenna, see that Ginna brings them food and drink."
Thornden and Rowenna rose, and Rowenna disappeared down the hallway to the kitchen.
Eodwine turned to Hameth and gestured for him to follow the lord of the Middle Emnet to his rooms.
