Hiritus nearly spits the last word out, and for good measure, does indeed spit on the ground to punctuate his displeasure."We are going to help them, aren't we?"Fendric can be heard mumbling a response which sounds like 'not yet', to which Hiritus stands bolt upright, a look of misunderstanding and disappointment upon his knightly countenance."When, then? Fendric, we have to go!""Shavah and Nurthk are petitioning Brother Aramil for an expeditionary force to the capital, to do whatever can be done, Brother Hiritus. We must content ourselves with this for now, and carry on with our mission until all of the letters are delivered. I suspect we will have our choice of crises to address when this is over, and certainly we can go to Bethel at that point.I know this is not a popular choice, nor is it necessarily fair. But we all must know that it is the correct one."As Fendric speaks, the expression changes on Hiritus. Glancing backward at Justice for a split-second, Hiritus nods and clasps Fendric on the shoulder. Fendric, unaccustomed to being touched, recoils ever so slightly before awkwardly returning the gesture. A smile escapes the cleric's face before Hiritus lets go.Justice snorts her approval, just before chewing on a nearby sprig of ryegrass."She asked us to meet them at the monument within the hour. We had best not be late, I fear - I would not wish to ruin your chance to impress her.""Oh, I'm too late for that, anyway. But perhaps if I ground a hole in your head with my knuckle...""You could not do worse than Brother Kalen with a pair of scissors, I am sure."</blockquote>
