Alrighty, this needs to be placed after Folwren's and LMP's post above...

Firefoot's post

Upon his return to the Mead Hall, Eodwine went directly to Haleth and asked him to his own rooms for a talk in private. Once there, Eodwine went straight to the point.

"I know not if you heard Bertwald's own words as to the greeting he and his wife were given at the Gate. I spoke to Deren who was the very guard this Hilda claims to have mistreated her; or I should say, this Bertwald claims that Deren was, shall we say, overzealous. Deren told me that it seemed this Bertwald talked more than need be. That suggests to me that he may be crafting a bed of lies, as they say. I admit that I have no other call to think ill of the man, but these are bad times. So I would ask of you that the couple be watched. Maybe they will lead us to the fiend who has taken Linduial."

Haleth hesitated. Where did one draw the moral line? "In normal times, such would not even be thought on," he answered slowly. "As like as not it is simply an innocent couple staying here the night. Would not watching them be near the same as questioning those nobles on our list simply because they meet our guidelines?" But then what had been the point of guards at the gates of Edoras if Haleth was not going to take their word when someone seemed suspicious? "I would be loath to have them followed in the case that they are innocent people. But if they do not leave the Mead Hall in the morning, then yes, have them watched. If they leave, let them go."

Eodwine was unsure of Haleth's thought, but Haleth was the ruler in this matter. He nodded, "Aye, that is well."

EDIT

Hmmm . . . I'm not sure who you're asking to do what or where . . .

So - I did move this post up into lmp's post space above (#288), and then he can put it wherever it's supposed to be.

I've added the most recent additions to that lengthening post on the main thread. I hope it fits okay with what's needed. Please let me know if it needs anything changed.

Firefoot: I'm editting my last post to change Lin's target with the plate. I reread what I had and decided Lin's irritation demanded a much more direct means of taking out her frustration.

I love it.

Post edited to account for Haleth and Eodwine's planning. Let me know if there's anything that needs changing.

Uh-oh...

I think Lin's food source just went on a vision quest.

I'll update with Torim sometime today, sorry for the delay.
