1 " Anyway, Arianna and I left the castle very late one evening. I knew the knight on guard at the drawbridge so I hit hit him over the head because I didn't want to hurt him.Garion blinked." I knew he'd be honor-bound to try to stop us," Lelldorin explained. " I didn't want to have to kill him, so I hit him over the head." " I suppose that makes sense," Garion said dubiously." Arianna's almost positive he won't die." " DIE?" " I hit him just a little too hard, I think. "
2 " The priest DID have it coming, though," Lelldorin declared hotly." What priest?" " The priest of Chaldan at that little chapel who wouldn't marry us because Arianna couldn't give him a document proving she had her family's consent. He was very insulting." " Did you break anything?" " A few of his teeth is about all-- and I stopped hitting him as soon as he agreed to perform the ceremony. "
3 " Well--to put it briefly--Arianna and I had become--well--friends." " I see." " Nothing improper, you understand," Lelldorin said quickly. " But our friendship was such that--well--we didn't want to be separated." The young Asturian's face appealed to his friend for understanding. " Actually," he went on, " it was a little more than 'didn't want to.' Arianna told me she'd die if I left her behind." " Possibly she was exaggerating," Garion suggested." How could I risk it, though?" Lelldorin protested. " Women are much more delicate than we are-- besides, Arianna's a physician. She'd know if she'd die, wouldn't she? "
