Christopher pounded three times on the huge iron door. Then he did it again, just for the sound of it.

“Patience, my esteemed lord. I crank as fast as I can,” the doorman said. But Karl and Gregor were already pulling the door open.

Christopher staggered forth into their arms.

“Priest, heal thyself,” Gregor muttered, as Torme leapt forward in concern.

But they all relaxed once they realized he was just drunk.

“I take it things went well,” Gregor said.

“They did indeed. I got us banished.” Christopher, never politic, was utterly inept when he was three sheets into the wind.

“Grave news, my lord,” Torme said, but Christopher waved him off.

“No, it’s great news. That wench won’t be able to hide in a fort full of men. The wizard’s going to build us a fort, see. He’s not such a bad guy.”

“I’m certain it is only the liquor talking,” the doorman said, shaking his head at the last comment. “He is most assuredly nothing but that.”

The sun was just coming up, light creeping into the dark sky.

“I would like to take a nap now,” Christopher said. He looked around for a comfortable place to lie down.

“This way, sir,” Torme said, guiding him home. Karl and Gregor fell in behind, the squad of surreptitiously yawning soldiers following.

“This would be the perfect time for her to strike,” Gregor muttered.

“Unless he only fakes his impairment.” Torme always cast Christopher in the best light.

“Is that possible?” Gregor said, prepared to be impressed.

“No,” Karl admitted. “The man can’t hold his liquor. But she doesn’t necessarily know that.”

“Hey!” Christopher mumbled. “I heard that.” He turned around to find Karl and give him a sound thrashing, got lost, and had to wait for Torme to point him in the right direction again.
