As Handorth laid into the elf, Findorak spotted Kane in the other corner of the cave. He moved in and whispered, "Kane."
The Eatserling turned and replied suspiciously, "what do you want?"
"Your hand in truce and alliance," Findorak whispered. "Handorth is mighty indeed, but he demands more than he can get. Join with me in secret alliance, so that we may defend ourselves if the worst comes to the worst. I want no allegiance, but simple friendship. Two are better than one."
Kane stood in thought and did not answer.
"Talk to your brother my friend. You will see, a pact is beneficial to both of us."
Findorak smiled at Kane and then moved away, leaving the Easterling pondering.
