I think it would be alright if this were added to the end of Nogrod's post. Since Thornden is just saying what he knows right now, there's not really enough for me to post an entire post. But I'm changing the little bit before Athanar's final command:
Quote:
The two officers hesitated. Coenred looked sidelong at Thornden and Thornden glanced towards the ground. Athanar looked from one to the other, not understanding why they waited.
“Go! Go now!”
But Thornden still hesitated. Coenred, too, did not move when he saw that his lieutenant halted. Thornden looked Athanar directly in the eye as he said,
“My lord, I do not think multiple search parties are necessary, because I know which direction he went. And Lithor went with him. I should have spoken earlier, when I saw Lithor riding out, but I had no idea what had transpired here.”

Now, is anyone else curious to know what it'd be like if Thornden DIDN'T say anything now and only spoke up later when Lithor was found to be definitely missing? Or is just me?
