Narwen was escorted up to the quarters of Yr Saldin by several armed guards. They stepped forward, and knocked on the door. After a moments pause, a voice called from within. "Yes? What do you want?" The lead guard answered swiftly. "The captain Narwen is here to see you." Another pause, then the door was opened. Yr Saldin stood in the doorway.
He nodded to the guards, who went swiftly away, and welcomed Narwen inside. He took a bottle of rich red wine down from a high shelf and poured two glasses. Giving one to her, he addressed her. "What brings you to see me captain? Have you made a descision on my offer?"
"Yes, I have," Narwen replied. "Well?" Yr Saldin prompted. Narwen fingered her glass, watching it rotate, the liquid within glowing in the sun, the crystal sparkling. "I have spent much thought on the matter, and I have decided that such a position would we one that I am glad to accept. Will you have me?"
