Arthur woke to the sound of angry words. He left his bed and walked to his door. When he opened it and looked into the corridor it was empty save Harbend. A very angry Harbend.
"What's going on?" Arthur asked.
"She came to my room last night and now she has bedded Captain Laiden."
"Who did?"
"Young Termend."
"Oh, and now her mother's in a fury?" Arthur didn't like the consequences. An angry partner could stir up tensions later on, especially as this was the very first partner Harbend had signed on. "Why did you allow her in?"
"I... I did not. Told her to get some sleep elsewhere."
"Thank God! Then I can't see the problem. She's old enough to pick a partner among the rest, don't you think?"
"You fail to understand."
"I understand perfectly. She felt spurned and went for second best. So? The only problem would've been if you'd slept with her."
"But... Maybe you are right," Harbend finally grumbled.
Arthur shook his head and reentered his room to get dressed. There was no point in trying to grab any sleep now. Dawn was breaking. They needed to be on the road as early as possible with all the additions to handle. He pulled on his boots and went in search for breakfast.
