Chapter 18: The Scout
The scrap of paper bore a short message in elvish, and Caelrin put on his boots without finishing his shirt.
"Where are we going?" Aoi asked.
"To the oak at the end of your lane. Stay behind me."
"Absolutely not."
He looked at her over his shoulder, and something in his face gave up.
"Behind me and slightly to the left," he said.
The elf waiting under the oak was a woman in a dust-green cloak, slim and weathered.
She wore a bow across her back and an ash-grey braid down to her waist.
She went down on one knee in the wet grass the moment she saw him.
"Marshal."
"Get up," Caelrin said, hoarse. "I am not your Marshal."
"The Border Guard says you are."
She rose, and her eyes moved to Aoi, then back.
"Your Guard has not stood a night watch without your name in the oath for two years."
He said nothing for a moment.
Aoi slipped her hand into his.
He gripped it so hard that her fingers went numb.
"You came a long way to shoot my door," he said.
"I came a long way to tell you the thing the King does not want to hear."
