IC Scene - The Castle

The camp below them bustled with activity.  Lion Knights and a large number of soldiers were already marching away from the castle, up and along the road leading onto the cliff the old section of the city was built on.  Shouts echoed from their apparent destination as smoke billowed into the strangely windless Windholm sky.  The Duchess was just entering Jorm's camp at the bottom of the steps and appeared to be discussing matters with the captain already.  To the west, the church grounds and Palatial Avenue were quiet in the mid-afternoon sun, though it didn't mean they didn't hide enemies.

Harold looked out over the city, his brow furrowed.  "What if I were to tell you...," he began slowly, "that rather than Gudrusson being an ally of your order, your order could be an ally of his?"

Rivatha took her time to watch the army, trying to find Lord Wulfred and memorize any important details, should she need to find him in mist of the battle.

"Could you please clarify the difference between these things?" Rivatha asked with the best pleasant smile she could artificially produce.

When Rivatha returned to the castle, her group congregated around her, mostly resigned to the fact that drawing attention was inevitable.  The skirmish continued, but the castle guard was already mobilizing for a counterattack, several columns of guardsmen ready to march.  The duchess was crying over a young man in a makeshift stretcher as Jorm and a couple of his men tried to pull her away.  It seemed she was obstructing the path of several physicians trying to help the young man.

The gloves were ushered into the castle quickly amid the chaos and then deeper into the keep by a small escort.  They stopped near a nondescript passage, where Harold was waiting, wearing an old, frayed cloak.  He glanced over the group before him and grinned. "I see what you meant.  Are you ready to go?"

"Yes" Gaspar answered stepping in front of the group, "My name is Gaspar, i think you have seen me when i introduced myself to the duchess. I am the leader of our detachment.I will lead the group and will assign knightess who you have met before, directly to you. You can voice any concerns and wishes to her and she will report to me directly if she sees such need." Rivatha moved closer to Harold "Her name is Rivatha."

Rivatha then exchanged whispers with Harold.
