When they reached the abandoned hamlet, Harad made sure her suggestions were carried out with alacrity. She wasn't comfortable using the word "orders," even though Braggi did give her the command.Before Braggi and the rest of the Tyrrans came, she had gotten more accomplished than she could have hoped for. The volunteers were strong and well-organized, and all she really had to do was tell them where to go next.Today was going to be a piece of cake. With the dwarves and the reinforcements, Silverdown would be back in working order soon enough. The only problem was that the legion didn't come prepared for rehabilitating an entire town. They lacked the necessary tools and equipment to get the job done."And what do you propose to do about it?" Braggi asks her after the sun was starting to breach the horizon."I thought you would be taking up the command now that you're here?""I may be called back to Silverymoon at any time. These men had better get used to someone else leading them in this matter in case that happens.""We'll need shovels and barrows and tons of other things if we're going to get this done in a timely manner.""Grogor and his band have agreed to help us. See to it." He nods in polite dismissal.If he has a plan, why doesn't he just put it to use?The dwarves were natural smiths and there was plenty of scrap metal laying about the ruined hamlet. One dwarf in particular, "Sunder," seemed over-enthused to help."I'll get ye some o' tha boys witha good hammer-stroke. Ye donna worry 'bout it, pretty lass."Lass? Dwarves...The next question was what to do about the Thayan and his rag-tag band sleeping in her quarters."Who let them in here?" she hisses at the handsome Justiciar that seemed too timid to be a commander."I did, Lady Syrriel," Harad replies in a barely audible whisper. "They may help you in the planning of Silverdown's defenses. They've had more experience with the enemy..."He didn't know what she did about Nae'talis Ves'Aru.She glances over at the dwarf sitting up and munching on rations. He waggles his fingers at her and she flushes crimson."See that Sunder has the smithy going before breakfast. We're not going to get anywhere unequipped for the job.""Yes, Lady Syrriel."Syrriel watches the Justiciar leave and then turns to the group relaxing on her floor."Well?"</blockquote>
