Athanar listened to Saeryn's speech attentively and with growing pleasure as her speech went on.
So she's the good cop and I'm the bad cop... Well if that is what is needed to accomplish the king's orders...
Saeryn's speech ended and there was aloud “Aye, well said!” from somewhere back of the hall - and Athanar recognised the shouter, it was the same man he had met outside an hour ago.
With the instinct of an old fox lord Athanar immediately stood up and raised his goblet.
"Well said indeed! Cheers to lady Saeryn and her wise words!"
With that all of Athanar's men cheered and it seemed the earlier Scarburgians were in no way willing to be left playing the second fiddle in the cheering. So the Hall was thundering with cheers.
Lord Athanar smiled widely as he turned to look at Saeryn while the cheering was still going on. He made an approving nod and raised his goblet just a little to toast with her.
