"Sharra!" cried the gate guard. "By the Eight it's good to see you lass!" He strode forward to hug her.

"Damius, you old war dog!" Sharra returned his embrace. "What are you doing here, guarding the gate?"

"I got married," said her old friend. "The missus asked me to take a less risky job, so I did," he was a bit sheepish.

"Congratulations!" Sharra slapped him on the back.

"Now who's this?" asked Damius, looking at the Nord suspiciously.

"I vouch for him, old friend.  This is Kenyon.  We're only here to see Beirand."

The guard looked him over, noting the damaged armor. "Well, seeing you vouch for him, okay.  No trouble now, you hear?  From you either!"

"We'll be good, I promise."

The guard let them pass.
