To Saeryn, to remain silent when inside she screamed with injustice sounded like lying. She found Rowenna's tone offensive for a moment, and she held her tongue, lest she speak hastily and in anger.

"You did not say how you disagree. If you intend to speak as you have already to Athanar, I cannot help you. ... unless there is something you have in mind that I may do? I do not promise to do it, but I will listen."

"Perhaps you and I have different meanings of help," Saeryn replied. "What you have said concerning saying little to anybody and going to the king sounds like more scheming and working behind Athanar's and Eodwine's back then I choose to do. I asked for you help to me persuade Eodwine of our point of view. I told you, going to the king and asking him to reconsider is impossible unless Eodwine agrees with me. As you say, this is a world of men and their rule, and were I to do such a thing without his permission, I believe I would be subject to punishment of some kind."

Rowenna visibly relaxed. "Well then, at least we agree to first things first."

"Meaning, you agree that I should somehow convince Eodwine to agree with me. Yes, exactly. So just how are we to set about that?"
