Jenny, I'm a little concerned that you may have placed the character Marenil in an unenviable position. By the steward's refusals - be they ever so garrulous and kindly seeming - to obey his lord, he has undermined his lord's authority; and then walked away without so much as a 'your pardon, lord'. The lord in question thus found it necessary to choose between allowing his authority to be so undermined, or on the other hand, asserting it. He has chosen to assert it. Which puts Marenil in his unenviable position.

If you would like to revise your post so as to remove the need for such a choice, I'll be happy to revise mine. Just let me know.
