When the horses erupted in fear, he wasn't sure why they had reacted that way at first, so his first instinct is, and always was, to calm the horses with the charms that had been placed on each stable to shield the horses. The intention of which was to protect the horses until such time as the guards of the castle could catch up to the events that could be happening at the stables being that it wasn't really an ideal place for people to hang about regularly. Endorel had done his best to keep the place and the horses clean, but any who do not live regularly in the stables can still smell the fact that it is a place for horses. His personal shield had also gone up at the same time as the ones for the horses, and he turned his head to see the captain of the guard was who entered having only noticed movement from a side view just outside the stables. He then spoke a few more words to the charm and the shields dropped as the captain addressed him. It would seem rather rude to anyone who was not used to the way he did that as they were talking, but it was a necessary thing in his opinion.<br/><br/>He had only half caught what the captain had said to him, but he Knew what he was trying to say. "Thank ye, sir." he was about to talk to him further about the charms but he seemed to be rather busy with the queen as his back was now turned to him. He saw his friend, Maggie, or at least he considered her a friend, enter the barn to refresh the flowers as she did every morning. He was glad to see her, but took a moment to call after the Queen's court as they were leaving, "Captain, sir, I need to speak with ye later. Have a better day, m'lady, m'lord, and sir!"  Maggie was greeted by the queen as she was finding her way towards him and offer her condolences. He took the proffered hug as his eyes watered a bit at the closeness of someone dear to his family  and the thoughts of his father and her when they had interacted. "Thanks, Maggie, thou words means more than all this morning."<br/><br/>When she asked about things he needed, he stated, "Yes, as a matter of fact;" he pulled a few coins from his pouch, "I cannot turn down the chance to earn several more of these, but I find myself pressed for time today." He chuckled a bit as he stated, "Ye know how I seem to have inherited me mother's abilities in the kitchen; I seem to have  been tasked with the crafting more for the Queen and King. I will make some for the wake as well, but I will need some apples and pears. Do ye think ye can find a few moments to fetch some from the market?"<br/><br/>
