Gareth frowned at the mention of the name, but he quickly changed his facial expression knowing Hoyt could possibly notice. From Wallace's words, Harker sensed not only a potential mutual dislike for Thomas, but also a capitulation to Sir Jason. In his mind, he pictured the white flags going up and inwardly sighed, for he picked up that they weren't going to go anywhere with Sir Hoyt, not now at least. But then, Gareth was in the midst of recalling how much he didn't really like Thomas and how much he questioned Thomas's position. He wondered then about what exactly were the contents of the letters. One was probably from Canti himself, however the other letter was from the council, likely an explanation of the position among other orders and procedures.
