Location: A barn in the village of Clun<br/>Date / Time: March 15, late afternoon<br/>Tagging: Eztli<br/><hr/>"That so?" Krolus smirked, wondering how Eztli could know which of the nobles he might have met could actually hold their own in a fight. Just that someone didn't fight didn't have to mean they couldn't if they wanted to. But he was in an amiable mood, now that he had a solid roof over his head the first time in days and the only thing wet touching him going right down his throat and leaving a nice warm feeling in his stomach. No reason to start an argument, especially with someone he would have to work with for a little while yet.<br/><br/>"I guess you could say she runs the place, aye. I can't be certain, but during the fairs I've visited the town you could usually find her there, among the market stalls and traders, kind enough to given everyone the time of day and usually dressed more like a wealthy farmer than a blue blood. I figure that means she's not adverse to involving herself in her land's day to day affairs."<br/><br/>The calmer of the two men sharing the barn with them nodded his agreement. "Not all the barons here on the frontier were born noble. No guarantee that means they are more approachable than other nobles, but I don't think they are all like the usual lot."<br/><br/>"Yeah, and I suppose it's difficult to ignore your people when you can see half a barony's people when you look out your window. Not like some barons or earls in Lancrest who have their holdings spread over half a dozen counties," his comrade added.<br/><br/>Krolus had taken the time the others spoke to much down a chunk of bread and swallowed before nodding his own agreement in turn. "Ayes, there's that. Bit exaggerated, maybe, but most of baronies are fairly manageable in terms of size. So old Caradoc of Helmburg did a good job of ignoring most of his people most of the time. Anyways, Kirborg... there's also a sheriff in the village and a handful of guards. It's not like the baroness will deal with any old tavern brawl or somesuch."
