The Green Dragon Inn #11 - The Last Chapter

Emlin kept his face neutral as Teluyaviel’s brother approached. 'Tindo', she had called him. But Emlin knew that was not his full name, and from the look on the man’s face he dared not use it.

‘Greetings, good Sir,’ he said in as courteous a manner as he could. ‘Emlin, late of Lindon at your service.’ Though by rights, his own age should take preference in who showed the first respect to whom. ‘I have just met your charming sister. She tells me you are from Eryn Lasgalen.’ He smiled as winningly as he knew. ‘I had many acquaintances there in my younger days. Though now,’ he said with a regretful sigh, ‘most of them have sailed West.’

He shook off the melancholy the remembrance of friends gone had brought on and smiled again. ‘I understand that you and Teluyaviel are traveling one last time before you, too, sail from the Havens.’
