Even as Léof spoke to Quin he noticed that the Scarburg soldiers were beginning to gather up in front of the hall. Soon he saw Hilderinc with a couple of others break off from the main body and head towards them. “Maybe now we’ll get some news,” Léof said, nodding towards Hilderinc.
“Just orders, more like,” said Quin.
“Better than nothing,” said Léof.
It was not long before Hilderinc stood before them and said, “Lord Athanar wishes the horses be brought up to the main hall.”
Léof glanced over to where all the soldiers were milling about, then back down at Hilderinc. “But there is no place to tie all of them over there,” he said. “Half of your men will have their hands full holding onto horses – unless you mean for everyone to mount up now. But then it would probably be easier for the soldiers to come get their own horses over here, rather than us walking all the horses over there.”
