Eodwine knelt beside Saeryn, over the ailing Marinel. He looked as white as birch bark, and pasty; an odor of panic and illness exuded from him.

"Go fetch Æòel, then, my dear - child," Eodwine replied.

With a glance that rested momentarily on Eodwine's eyes, Saeryn got up and rushed out of the room; he watched her hurrying form before pulling his attention back to the matter at hand. Eodwine looked up and saw Gárwine standing stock still in surprise, having been moving toward Marinel and Linduial from Dol Amroth.

"Gárwine! Get to horse and to Meduseld and call for a healer!"

Gárwine nodded and ran out of the hall as well.

"Has this happened before?" Eodwine asked of this princess Linduial.

"No! Never! I do not understand!"

"We shall see to his care," Eodwine replied, looking her in the eyes. "I promise you!"

Eodwine rose and called Thornden over. Between the two of them, they lifted Marinel onto one of the tables, and waited. Linduial caressed one of his hands. Eodwine watched Marinel's eyes go back into his head. That couldn't be good! He hoped Saeryn would find Æòel quickly.
