[QUOTE="El Jefe, post: 3068762, member: 19990"] Again, Oirhandir did the sums. If Valdor's father had been old enough to take over the estate when the grandfather had died, and had sired Valdor before becoming a doddering old fool, that would mean... He wordlessly finished his calculations and glanced at Valdor. "[I]Yes, he's old enough, barely[/I]", thought the elf. And that would mean that Scarlet was a stripling of oh, 80 or so when this man was a babe in his mother's arms. "[I]Must be odd to see your master grow up in front of you[/I]", he mused. Turning his thoughts to the here and now, Valdor's revelation had all but absolved the Harewinds of any principal role in the latest events. Even if disease hadn't taken Scarlet's parents, had someone wanted to lash out against the children, then would have been the time to do it. They were helpless, and Valdor's father would have been just a lad, barely able to make a go of it even with three young elven slaves and a large plantation to work. And if the plot was really against the Harewinds, wouldn't it be much easier to strike at them directly instead of through Valdor? No, Valdor must be the target.
