Ruiadri looked the young Reachmen over. "Your armor is an affront to the Old Gods." He mentioned. "But I assume that our King sent you to me, he's been sending many new recruits lately."

Everyone started eating.

The Thane's young daughter was also looking at Eignach, but it was a look of wonder. She was almost 6 years old and full of curiosity. "Your face looks funny." She blurted out.

Eignach turned to face her. "What?"

She pointed at him. "Looks like someone drew on it while you were sleeping."

"Shush child." her mother said. "It is not polite to talk like that to people."

Eignach smiled. "These are tattoos, all Reachmen have them."

"Why?" She asked.

"Because that is how we are. They represent various different things." Eignach explained.

"Like what?" She asked again.

"Like what Clan you belong to and where you fit into the Clan, your role for example." He explained.

"But why?" She continued.

"That is enough questions Grerid." Balfring said. "I'm sure the Jarl's son would like to enjoy his meal instead of satisfying your curiosity."

"Yes papa." She said and grabbed her fork to eat.

The girls questions helped lighten the mood a little.

The man looked Borig over. "Well you don't look like one of the Brotherhood's men. Why are you here?"

"King Garbhan sent me." He managed to say while the dagger was digging into his flesh.

The man pulled the blade away. "Garbhan, the Forsworn leader? Well why didn't you say so!" He stood up and then helped Borig up.

"I take it you must be Kastus then." Borig said.

"The one and only. Wow, I didn't expect him to call on me so soon. That favor I owed him for sparing me sure didn't last long." Kastus said.

"He told me to give you this." Borig handed the Breton the king's letter.

He quickly skimmed over it. "A contract, interesting. Well you can tell your king that I will have this completed in no time."
