"Yeah, I think I need to go back and see how they fared. I just remember leaving in a hurry."
Mal moves to the boat, ready to shove off.

"A noble man to the end," Jareth whispers. "I must confess, I hated him," he continues, choking a little on the words. "I hated him for what I saw as a betrayal of my mother. Until we spoke in the tower, I still hated him... For years, what I saw as righteous anger, it turns out was all undeserved. I fear someone with so much anger cannot..." Jareth's voice trails off with a sigh, leaving the fear unspoken.
When the time comes, he helps push the boats into the river. "None from me. I also need to at least leave a message for Lady Valorn. As I said before, she deserves and needs to know the truth."

"Harkon Manor it is then. I suppose we had better try and find Lora as well.Though I for one am not looking forward to the meeting." Trinham says as he helps the others launch the boat and climbs in.
Once they are on their way, Trinham responds to Jareth. "Anger is fine as long as its controlled and directed. Its when you direct it indiscriminately that the problems start."
Its at this point that Trinham decides to take on the project of helping Jareth become the kind of noble he would like in charge of his village. As a start he carefully considered if he should give Jareth his first lesson. Finally he decides that now is probably a good time and says "Your problem is that you made a decision after hearing only one side of the argument. If you are to become the sort of noble that I know you want to be, you need to make sure that you hear both sides of an argument before you make a decision."

"Why bother finding her? She isn't our commander, and I certainly wouldn't call her friend. About the only things she was good for were belittling everyone around her and launching into an arrogant tirade," is Jareth's response to Trinham asking about Lora.
When Trinham gives the nugget of advice, Jareth nods. "And if I only have one side of things, as I did then? I believe I'm understanding the value of all information, but when I can't get all the information, I'm forced to do something anyway."

The group gathers in the three boats and make their way back up river keeping close to the elven side. Soon they can see Harkon once more and turn the boats to cross the river.
It isn't long before a group of warriors appear, some with crossbows in hand, along the shore surrounding the manor. The ambassador covers his face and ears with his hood and instructs Aver to do the same.
Jareth notices Vance near the center of the mass of men and turns his boat to make straight for the nobleman. Vance stands almost at ease as the boats make their way to shore he leans down to speak with a small feminine figure beside him who points towards the boats. Then he leans back letting out a roar of laughter that the group in the boat can just barely make out.
Everyone watches as the lord dismisses his men and waits for the three boats along with the woman. As they all grow nearer those who know her see it is Lora, and she looks as vexed as usual.
"Well I see you survived your trip to the elven lands." Vance calls out as the boats near the shore. "I knew you would."

Jareth keeps his boat on a course to hit the bank by the nobleman. "Indeed we did, though it wasn't such a success as we had hoped."
The boat bumps into the shore and Jareth helps the others out before stepping out onto the bank. "I offer my thanks again for the aid, Lord Vance. Can you inform me as to what has happened while I was away?"

Continuing his conversation with Jareth, Trinham says "Ha making decisions without full information is the hard part. I don't know the answer to that but there again, I'm just a peasant."
Trinham's face falls as he sees Lora standing on the bank. Then his new found confidence comes to the fore and he decides to wind her up. As the boat lands on the bank, he says "Hello Lora. What are you doing here? I thought you would be back with the army. Don't tell me you have decided to marry Vance."

With a nod towards Jareth, Ern looked at the two onlookers. Vance looked like a normal noble to her (compared to the other nobles she knew). His fancy clothes displaying his family crest, and a smile on his face. Lora looked like she could be quite good looking, if only she smiled as well. The glower on her face made Ern feel she was being examined on the spot. Which, being 1 of 3 new people to arrive at Harkon, did make sense.
Figuring she should stay quiet, and let those who knew Vance and Lora do the talking, Ern folds her hands in place and stays quiet.

Mal steps onto the bank, aiding the others in getting out of the boat. When he sees Lord Vance, he wonders if he even remembered Mal as the one that assisted in the preparations for the attack on Harkon Manor not so long ago. Mal had disappeared that night, and now he returned.
Letting Jareth speak, Mal simply waits and listens.

Lora steps up readily as the others get off the boat. She sniffs at Trinham's remark and address Jareth. "What we have been doing? What we have..." she starts to say in her usually unpleasant tone. "We have been doing nothing but sitting here waiting for news from all of you. While you have been off having adventures and visiting the elves. Probably getting into no end of trouble without me and..."
"Enough Mistress Lora. You can catch up with your friends later," Vance says with a soft hand on her shoulder and a smile. "And in answer to your question... um friend. Lora hasn't accepted my marriage proposal but she has taken up the job as apprentice to Skazul and when he has retired she will be High Sorceress of Harkon and I hope by then the Lady Valorn. But that is another matter, for another time." Vance says looking at the two hooded men that stand quietly aside. Lora stands quiet and looks to the ground, her cheeks growing slightly flushed.
"So you were successful then? Maybe we should get indoors, I think are new guest don't like the river air." Vance says as he tries to act like he isn't trying to peek under the hoods.
"We also have to send a runner to Lord Bairan and Lord Dellex they will want to hear what has happened in the elven wood as well." Lora says now standing slightly behind and off to Vance's left.
"Quite right, quite right. And if who I think is under one of those hoods my sister will also be vexed if we stayed out here all night talking. Please everyone this way." Vance says turning and offering Lora his arm.
Stunningly she accepts it without a verbal triad and they start to walk off.
[sblock=OOC] Close to XP time so will give you all a little time on the 'docks' to talk amongst yourselves and then I will update MON night. any last minute instructions or getting your story straight, etc.
There will be a meeting with Lord Vir and his sister before the big RP with Dellex and company. [/sblock]
