Here's the way I see it:

Leof and Thornden were in the stables when most of the happenings in the kitchen occurred. They hear vague noise and commotion - shortly (perhaps when it doesn't immediately die down), Thornden ran out into the courtyard. Two things could then happen (I'm going to number all points to keep them straight...):

1a) Leof stays in the stables.

1b) Thornden tells Leof to check the halls, since neither of them know what's going on.

2) Question: Does the residence wing have one or two floors? Where do those stairs go - the cellar?

3) At this point, Stigend enters the stables. Now, he walks all the way through them - even if Stigend didn't see Leof, Leof would have seen him - he's pretty in tune to what happens there. This then contradicts point 1a.

4) Stigend enters the residence wing. Leof isn't immediately in sight. Ergo, he must either be in a room or upstairs or the cellar (point 2). The second two make more sense... and if it's the cellar, Leof would then realize that the outlaws have escaped and make the connection with the earlier commotion.

5) Stigend and Leof hook up? Elborn shows up?
