He had gone on the trip to the ruins because he was left out at the Hall, and now he was being left out again just as an adventure seemed to be at its beginnings. An adventure like the ones in Cnebba's tales. Garmund wanted to be go back to the Hall and tell Cnebba and his sister that instead of hearing tales today, he had been in the middle of one. And too, if help were needed, three were better than two, even if one of the number was a boy. He could still fight. But Thornden had given his answer, and Garmund would not disobey.
"I will stay," he mumbled.
