[Aelxirn and Daltem]

>"Now...you will answer the question I asked you.  Who else was invited?
>And as you also said that there were going to be other Lords and Ladies
>there....I'm assuming that this is some sort of meeting of the Nobility.
>In which case, you'd also have invited Lady Kedrina, the new Titleholder
>of Nambril Villiage, is this correct?"

Daltem smiled inwardly. Just as his mistress had hoped, Aelxirn till had   
a fighting spirit and was just as ambitious. He slid his knife back into   
his boot take great care that Aelxirn stayed unaware of its precence.

"I have delivered a message to Lord Lothar also sir. As you were both in   
the same area Lady Tellari hoped to kill two birds with one stone. I   
don't know who else has been sent one of these invitations, but if it is   
a meeting of the nobility then it for a select, small number of nobles.

I doubt Lady Kedrina has been invited because if she was, I would have   
delivered the message to her.

I have no more messages to deliver and will be returning straight to the   
Tellari estate. If you are in need, I have the money to purchase a horse   
for you." With that Daltem stood up.

"Now if you excuse me sir it is a long journey back to the estates and I   
have ridden hard today. In shall see you in the morning." Daltem turned   
to leave, but spun on his foot to face Aelxirn, his arm was outstretched   
towards Aelxirn.

Aelxirns tankard was sent flying accross the table spilling the cheap ale   
everywhere. A knife stood quivering in the table where the tankard had   
been.

"Threaten me again, *sir*, and it won't be the table I stick the knife   
in. I am not some dog for you to kick on a whim." Daltem turned and  this   
time did walk away, but his hand stayed ready on his sword hilt.

[The warren green]
Billy's eyes lit up at H'lies words. If they were going to get measured   
up for saddles and the like, then that must mean that the dragons were   
almost ready to fly!

<Right so where shall we go? The warrens boring!> said Chai eagerly
<Well there are a few towns where we could go, I haven't been to any of   
them for a while. I'm sure we could have some fun there!>

"pssst!" said Sarilyn trying to catch Billys attention.
"Hi!" said Billy.
"Whats humouring you?"
"What do you mean?" asked Billy innocently.
"You had a grin for ear to ear! You're planning something aren't you?"   
accused Sarilyn.
"Well just a little trip into town when Chai can fly. Fancy comming   
along?" asked Billy.
"Which town?" asked Sarilyn.
"I don't know. Hey H'lie?" Billy called over to H'lie who was showing   
M'tok where the saddle should sit on a dragon.

"Yes Billy?" said H'lie wearily.
"We wondering, our dragons are going to be flying soon right?"
"In a couple of days - yes." said H'lie, Billy could hear the suspicion   
in H'lies voice.
"If we wanted to fly somewhere, say like a town. You know to show our   
dragons someplace different than the warren. What town should we go to?"

H'lie stood there and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Let me guess you're bored?"
"Well not exactly - it's Chai'lynn she's as bored as hell."
