Lord Atahanr followed Thornden with his eyes and nodded to himself in approval when he saw him dismissing the two guards he had sent with him. He's a man of honour and an eye for situations indeed, I've seen and heard enough of it...Valar be praised for that kind of men.

The men started to gather around him led by Coen, and he could see Hilderinc and Leof bringing forth the horses from behind them. The timing felt good... if Stedford and Blimring could just bring the old Friduhelm in time...

Hilderinc came forwards holding the reins of his steed and he took them nodding in approval. "Well done, Hilderinc." He was about to climb up but then turned back again to face his sergeant.

"What about the old man? Did you find him?", he asked Hilderinc.

"We got news he should still be around here my lord, but I haven't been able to spot him as yet..."

Athanar paused for a moment thinking heavily whether it would pay to get someone to look after him or whether it was a waste of men and time...

He glanced around to see most of the men of Scarburg already mounted and some of the Faramund's men as well in front of the stables facing them. There was a stady flux of riders pouring out from the stables and meanwhile his last men were getting their horses and mounting them. He looked back at Hilderinc.

"Okay... Take your place Hilderinc", he said to his sergeant quietly and turned to mount his steed. But before he did that he suddenly turned his gaze once more towards the stables, searching for Thornden and his men.

Frumgard and Bettelhird stood around the door to the stables and just then Faramund rode out from the stables. Thornded followed him suite on foot meeting the two soldiers behind lord Faramund who was taking his place in front of his men already monuted.

Lord Athanar managed to find Thornden's eyes from the distance and he nodded, carefully waving his hand rightwards. Thornden nodded back and started hurrying the two soldiers.

"Get Thornden's horse, and those of Frumgard and Bettelhird, to the right flank! Hurry!" he yelled to the men behind him. "Go for them!"

He eyed back to the situation in front of the stables and saw Thornden moving with the men away from the doorway, away from lord Faramund's men in between them and lord Athanar's men. He turned his gaze back to his own men and noticed a few going to meet them already. He nodded slightly, just to himself, and finally turned back to his horse to mount it.
