Gharr hesitated for a moment, not at all liking what he was about to ask Klaeb. "Yes Klaeb, you should go...but..."

Klaeb stared at Gharr, now able to see him, and saw how uncomfortable he was. "What is it Gharr? What is on your mind that can't wait until...until I return in victory?"

"Ah, I cannot hide what my face reveals now can I Klaeb? No, this would have been easier if  had been able to. But it is not, and I must ask you with this..."weakness". My daughter wanted to come and see you before you left. Maybe to wish you good fortune, or perhaps to say good-bye, I am not certain. But she wanted to see you again. I..."

His eyes burned furiously for a second, then he let go of the anger and shook his head no. "Time is too precious now Gharr, I must go, Shaeg has had too much time as it is. Tell your daughter I will see her again after I have ended his vile menace."

Klaeb made ready to leave for his most awful challenge, not willing to discuss it any further with Gharr, who slightly bristled at the ease in which his daughter's feelings were dismissed when Gaer appeared. "You couldn't even wait for me to return? Shaeg is not worried of defeat Klaeb, you need not rush back to meet him in battle."
