"Aye, m'Lord," Lovek said, "It shall be done."
Lovek led the two out and briskly marched through the halls. The others struggled to keep up. Lovek travelled through all the familiar corridors.
When they reached the chariot stables, Lovek took them over to the provisions.
"You must all do your part here," he said, gruffly, "Here. Take this."
Lovek divided the provisions up among them and the three made ready.
"On the road," Lovek said to them, still sounding gruff, "We must move quickly to the Westlands. We must not delay. I shall move as quickly as I can, and you must do so too? Is that clear? I know not whether I will be riding Ratislav, but, either way, we must make haste. Is that clear? I have no room for stragglers in my troops."
Lovek heard himself say "my" troops, but thought nothing of it, for it was always what it said, as he was most accumstomed to leading instead of being led. He just assumed that he would be in charge, as he generally was.
"Now, do I make myself clear?" Lovek said to the other men.
