Alanna's mis-adventure:

Jonathon had watched this exchange carefully. He was worried about Alanna. He knew that he shouldn't have yelled so harshly at her but he felt that she was being very unreasonable.

She hadn't returned after a few hours, but he couldn't go and find her because he had to attend the dinner his father was attending. He had seen Timmon enter the hall, pale. Jon had immediately known that something had happened to Alanna.

He had watched Myles face change from rosy red from the drink he had consumed to a pasty white as the lad spoke in his ear.

As Myles left the hall the second time, Jon followed him.

"George?" Myles called to the dark stable.

"Over here." He called and handed Myles his reins. The knight pulled himself into the saddle.

"Are you going to tell me where we are going?" Myles demanded.

"Yes I'd like to know that too." A voice called out from the dark and the two men spun around to see Jonathon standing with his hands on his hips.

"Jonathon, if you turn around then I wont launch into a lecture."

"George, I don't know what it is that your talking about."

"Yet."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means that you will find out in plenty of time. Look let us past. If you'd kept your mouth shut for a change then we wouldn't be sneaking like this. But no, Jon needs to be right all the time don't you? Well now it's caused a problem and I'm trying to fix it the best way I know how."

That was the most emotion that George had ever shown in front of anyone other than Alanna, and both Jon and Myles were shocked at his attitude.

"Jon, sorry, 'Johnny', get out of my way now." Jon stepped to the side with out question. He was trying to figure out what he had done wrong. George kicked his horse into a gallop. Myles had mo choice but to follow the Rogue.

They slowed down and were greeted at the entrance of the Dancing Dove by a group of hovering men.

"What is it? What has happened?" He demanded dismounting. The men took the reins of both horses.

"Mistress Cooper sent us down to wait for you. She knew that you would bring this one and needs you both to come up stairs immediately."

George nodded once and entered the inn. Myles stopped him at the foot of the stairs. "Exactly what is going on?"

"Alanna, that's her name, was ambushed by Rogers men and seriously wounded. She made her way here, but she lost a lot of blood. She wouldn't have been caught off guard if Jonathon hadn't been so god damn jealous." George told him, fuming. He then turned and ran up the stairs, not caring if the knight was following, which he was.

They opened the door at the top of the stairs to a scene that was shocking.
