“Oh!” Saeryn said, “That would be Garwine and Áforglaed! You would have known Garwine, he has been part of Eodwine’s guard since he took up his eorlship. Áforglaed is one of Athanar’s guard. They went to Edoras for a double purpose. They are going to tell Garrath that his brother Harreld has use of him here, so we shall hopefully soon be joined by another old friend.”
Words and looks of general surprise and pleasure from those who had not heard the news, and from Falco. Then after a slight pause, Falco asked what the second bit of business had been.
“Athanar sent a message to the king by the messengers. Do you remember Lithor?” Falco remembered him. “He and Erbrand both left yesterday morning…Lithor without leave, and Erbrand after almost killing one of Athanar’s men. They are outlaws, now.” How much she might say, were Wynflaed not standing there! But instead, she left it at the bare minimum. Later, perhaps, she would be able to tell Falco so much about how she felt about this new lord and what had happened since his arrival. Falco had been so close to her husband. They would sit and talk so comfortably back when they were both there, and Eodwine had often discussed ideas and plans with Falco. She felt as if a part of him had returned in this little hobbit.
