Saeryn swung as hard as she could and struck Scyrr across the face. "Dog!" she said, furious. "You do not know of whom it is you speak!"
Scyrr paused for a while, watching Saeryn as if surprised by what she just did. Then he chuckled.
"Ha!" he said. "Don't I? Is he the man who sends a woman to fight for him, then?"
He leaned closer towards her, so close that she could feel his alcohol-smelling breath.
"I don't care what he used to be. He is just another man in the Hall now. Why did he come back? He is and he will never be the eorl again."
