Alright, given that Nogrod has gone ahead with a bit of an unfavourable reaction (although compared to the original it's what a rose's petal is to a rose's thorn) I just wanted to clarify that I did not mean Osmod to try to be the centre of attention and then a drama queen (or King, rather)

What I had in mind is for him to be 'relieved' and 'happy' that he does not need to take on the responsibility of being the leader anymore... a bit too happy about it perhaps. As I hinted when Osmod went to sleep during the night, he felt he was getting the hang of it and enjoying it somewhat and so, while he is glad for his elder's advice and help, he is also disapointed that they will probably make better leaders than himself.

As you can see by Nogrod's example, I don't mind your characters mis-reading Osmod, but I'd appreciate it if at least one of you thought that he was over-compensating rather than being a 'marthyr'. Just so that The Reader (whoever might want to read our little story) will see both sides of the coin.
