Sir Ralph asked hoarsely over the gallop of his horse.<br/><br/>"I do not know," the Knight Commander said.<br/><br/>"But surely you must say something!" Sir Ralph retorted.<br/><br/>"I have never addressed them before," the Knight Commander said.   "And besides!  Am I to address them and then chide them?  That makes no sense."<br/><br/>"Perhaps you should tell them that under no uncertain terms their taking this route demonstrates that they are unwill -- no, I lost my train of thought!"<br/><br/>Though Prince Kale was furious, he couldn't help but laugh at Sir Ralph.<br/><br/>"What you should do," Sir Pontius said in his slow manner of speaking,  "is tell them that this was unexpected, and that you apologize for not having accompanied them into the city."<br/><br/>"How sensible!" cried Sir Ralph.<br/><br/>"Quite sensible indeed," said Kale a little incredulously.   "When did you become so sensible, Sir Pontius?"<br/><br/>"I was reflecting upon my life as I was watching the games," Sir Pontius remarked absently.   "I think I see their caravan now."<br/><br/>Indeed, the Knight Commander could see the caravan, too.  And he could just make out the dark skin of Kariani.  He could feel his heart palpitate for an instant.  He was not particularly afraid of her.  In fact, the Knight Commander wasn't particularly afraid of anything.  He was rather blase about dying.  But there was something remarkable about her that the Knight Commander couldn't particularly describe.  He really didn't want to describe it.  It sickened him, really.  But to be truthful, and the Lord knows that the Knight Commander always tried to be truthful, he found Kariani to be glorious.
