[color=6ecff6]"The mayor says it's nothing?  How strange,"[/color] Ethelred observed.  [color=6ecff6]"Back when Elias and I were investigating the burned villages, we stopped in Redwater just as the Fomorians made an attack.  After we drove them off, we spoke with the mayor, and he seemed oddly unfazed for a man whose town was just attacked with several deaths.  At the time I assumed he was just numb from trauma or struggling to make sense of what had just happened."[/color]

He certainly couldn't forget that incident- that was the one where Od was abducted.

If the mayor was not taking the threat seriously even after having seen the aftermath personally, then Redwater might have more problems than malignant fey.  He would have to worry about that later- for now, the primary threat to be addressed was the wyverns.

The second matter was Grainne's offer to spar- a proposition that he had not expected to hear.  He couldn't blame her, though- after all, she was going to be left out of the wyvern hunt, and he knew how it felt to be a squire, wanting to get some combat practice in.

"Spar?  Sure, I'll spar with you," he answered.  "No magic, I presume?"

He was curious to see what Grainne could do.
