[QUOTE="Boddynock, post: 2134598, member: 21506"] As Alton stands to greet the Patriarch, he sees Eddie ... [I]slipping a piece of bacon up his sleeve?[/I] He is so distracted that he almost misses the answer to his question about the boar - [I]We'll know more with Wellsly's help.[/I] Alton sits and applies himself to his breakfast again, a puzzled look on his face. After a moment he looks around - but none of the others seem to have noticed either Eddie's actions or his own distraction. As they all file out to view the boar, Alton comes up next to Eddie and says [I]sotto voce[/I], "Hey, Eddie - it might be better to keep it in this." He hands him a napkin he has borrowed from the table. "I put an extra roll in there as well. Bring the napkin back when you've finished with it. I know that Mya wouldn't begrudge you some extra bacon but it's not fair to spoil her table setting." He then moves off to look at last night's adversary, giving Eddie the time and space to "adjust" his clothing. He stands with the others, looking at the body on the table. Somehow, it doesn't seem as fearsome as it did last night - although that same sense of being "not right" is apparent in the cadaver. Alton turns to Jerran with a wide-eyed look, as if to say, "Do [B]you[/B] know what he's talking about?" [/QUOTE]
