Wilheard
As Javan talked, Wilheard kept his eyes on his horse. Then he turned, deliberately slowly.
"Don't be a fool, Javan. It suits you ill, a man almost grown."
With a jolt, he realized Javan must be the same age as he himself had been when he'd last stayed in Scarburg, if not actually older. He pushed that thought away, as well memories of all the foolery he had done with his brother, and all the lectures and punishments they had endured from their father and mother.
"We both know Lord Athanar was a much stricter eorl than your Eodwine."
