Smiling as she chooses, then watching as she comes at his to take her swing, he turns his head and pulls back, still taking the blow, but not so directly as she had attempted.  He does not return a blow but continues to smile as he asks softly, "Where was the lie my dear, I do not believe I told you an untruth, though I did perhaps leave out some information here and there."<br/><br/>The men, most having jumped up at the attack, see that all is well and move back to their seats, leaving but two unoccupied, one at the far side of the large table, one near when Amron stood, be no means a throne, but more ornate then the others, marking it as the head, and him as the Lord.<br/><br/>With a gracious wave of his hand he says, "You may try out your seat for a bit, your mark will happen in a little while, you should think where you would have the brand of the thief."  After a moment he says to the room, "We are whole once again, we've found one to take the seat of the fallen, If she is to take the place of him is yet to be seen."<br/><br/>Walking to a brazier at the side of the room he places the iron into it, pushing it deep into the coals to heat it well before he looks back across the table at her, "Lhurriel, while you steam there, thinking all manner of wonderful vengeance on me, I will tell you that I went to each of those that were mentioned as a possible member of our group here, none impressed me as you did, passing up an entertaining night to run out and take care of some youngsters that had bitten off more then they should, not playing the political game when mention of the seat came up, and several other things that you did, and", he points at the others around the table, "No, my choice was made before she visited me so let's not be thinking those bad things."<br/><br/>Pointing at a door to one side Amron says, "Inside that room are the first secrets you will learn, maps that tell you the entrances and paths that lead here, several of our caches around town, cash for if you get stuck somewhere with out it and such.  Nothing leaves this room on paper, you will memorize what you need to know."
