A knock sounds on Keladry of Mindelan's door.  She opens it, and greets the male that was there.  She invites him to cross the threshold, and into her room.  He readily complies, closing the door behind him.  She embraces him quickly, as though an intruder might come in.  They sit next to each other on her bed, hand in hand, conversing about the day's activities.  The animated conversation catches and nets the interests of the feathered friends.  Hearing a rather loud negative word emerge from the man, the sparrows in turn, show themselves, fluttering to the help of their lady.   They attack the man, and go at him in droves.  Keladry doubles over in laughter, and dismiss the sparrows quickly.  Heeding their mistress’s command, the birds disperse, but keep a wary eye on the male human.  The lady knight makes a suggestion to the man, which he happily agrees to, they embrace again, before the man takes his leave.
