Athanar froze with Thornden's words and his eyes narrowed.

"Are you trying to say you turn down my offer?"

Thornden shook his head, exasperated again, but Athanar continued before he could answer.

"Now what is the part you don't understand? If we enter the Hall together in good terms everyone thinks things are okay, like I thought they were. But if we enter separately, there will be problems as people will think we're not in terms together... or is there a problem I don't see? Speak now. I need to know if there is still something you haven't come clean with me."

"There is nothing, sir!" Thornden said. "We will be entering together, just not as though we were perfect friends coming back from a friendly chat. A moment ago, I was leaving expecting to have to defend myself in a fight. We don't need to go back embracing each other!"

Suddenly lord Athanar broke into laughter and pat Thornden on the shoulder. "No we don't," he said smiling "It will take time for us to become perfect friends after all this, but I do hope we can become a good working-pair rather sooner than later... Now, let's get back inside."
