Without another word, Eric nodded to Anastasia and left the room to prepare the Porridge brown sugar. It wouldn't take very long to do, and even if he was going to make another serving for Samsul, it still wouldn't be much of a wait.

Samsul nodded to Anastasia and looked at her calmly, looking away from the chair. "I will do my best to help you, Anastasia. I can help you protect and improve Greenspring, but I cannot make any changes directly. I can offer you words of wisdom and assistance from my kind, but that it all I can do. I am not a thane of Greenspring, nor am I an ambassador to speak for my people." He sighed lightly and glanced down. "I'll try my best to help you, Anastasia."
