Ferethor marked that Atharen never strayed far from Crystal, and was watching his every movement. Ferethor wondered - did Atharen think he was a peril to Crystal? Ferethor recalled a wanted poster for Crystal that he had seen a while back - wiht the bold inscription, "Dead or Alive." He couldn't blame her for fleeing from her father's wrath - yet Crystal believed that he was her enemy. But Atharen would take care of her, and he had to turn to other matters.
Though Ferethor was considered skilled in stealth and craft of war even amidst captains of Gonder, he knew with certainity that he was no match for Atharen, this ranger of the North. However swiftly Ferethor moved, Atharen was always there beside him - there would be no conversation with Aelimur for some time. Almost on impulse, Ferethor decided to test his theory.
