Indrean caught the expression in Daewyns' eyes and was relieved to see that she understood what he was doing. He didn't know exactly how it would all work out, but it would; he would protect her, no matter what...even to the end.  But first, he had to fool these brutish and suspicious fools.<br/><br/>"Aye, this songbird was indeed promised to me...and she was not cheap, either. If I want to make a profit off her, I am going to have to have her start working at taverns and...other such reputable places that I see fit. You are more than welcome to ride wherever you please, sir. But I must warn you, I am not going to take her directly to Minas Tirith. We will be stopping for her to work along the road."<br/><br/>Indrean rested his elbow on the back of her chair as he returned the equally icy stare back to the commander.
