Jhereg: [to James and Kel]
.....and now you know why we are discussing last night's events in the middle of this field. I do not know the extent of the morkons abilities so we must be very careful what we say in the presence of shadows. As for the men post additional sentries and issue a ration of spirits to take their minds off last night.
Both of you and Schol, if he wishes, will accompany me to dinner tonight. Be prepared for trouble as Schol will be something of a surprise to our hosts.
James, I want an honor guard of your best looking knights to accompany us tonight. I want to make a good impression on my cousin and his guest. Station a second contingent nearby and out of sight in case of trouble. If they hear a commotion they are to come at all haste and let nothing stop them.
James:
Good, the men are looking for a chance to show Brandon and his men a thing or two. I'll have Black Angus and his bunch of scouts nearby. Those blind city boys would have to step on one of his men before they would have a chance of discovering one of the scouts after dark. A crossbow in the dark will evens the odds quite a bit if trouble starts.
Jhereg:
Excellent! Warn them not to start anything without our signal. Let us make an impression gentlemen one way or the other.
