Kara had found herself out of the kitchen for a fair amount of the afternoon. What with Ginna popping backward and forward and Frodides in something of a huff due to the impromptu nap she had taken earlier it had seemed a good idea to offer the other girl help. So it was that she found herself confronted with a new face, and once she'd fetched him the food and drink he'd asked for she thought hard about the question he'd asked.
"Excuse me miss, but could you tell me who I should see about possibly gaining work here, my name is Balvir, I am a Guardsman by Profession and they tell me at Meduseld that I may find work here."
"I would think it's Thornden you need to ask. He is Eodwine, I mean the Eorl's, right hand man here and he's definitely in charge of protecting this place. I would say you should speak to the Eorl directly but he seems to be busy."
"And where do you suppose I might find this Thornden?" Balvir asked.
"He's just over there." Kara replied, pointing in the direction of the table at which Thornden was seated. "Once you've finished your meal I'm sure he'd be glad to speak to you."
Balvir gave his thanks and Kara left again, spying a familiar face leading Eodwine away from the main hall. What was Adelhild doing here? Speeding her pace Kara hurried back to the kitchen, sure that the news of an old friend would put Frodides into a better mood.
