His sudden appearance startled me so badly, I stumbled and the soldier I was fighting against was able to get in a hit. I quickly righted myself and went after him with much vigor. If Viarmo was going to watch me, I was going to give him a hell of a show.
When I looked back towards the gate a few minutes later, Captain Aldis had joined him and the two men were talking quietly. A moment later, the two shook hands and went their separate ways – the captain towards us and Viarmo towards the Bards College.
"What was that about?" I asked him as he passed.
"None of your concern, little one. Now get back to work."
When I returned to the college that night, I found Viarmo sitting in the entryway, reading a book. He said nothing as I passed and I did the same, even though I was dying to ask him what was going on.
