Well the worst is over for Minas Tirith - but how long, I wonder, before Bergil becomes aware of the danger his father is in? Not long, I suspect.
Author Reply: Probably from the moment he hears that Beregond left his post. The penalty for such an act would have been common knowledge amongst guardsmen and their families. Of course, adults probably wouldn't discuss such a thing in front of Beregond's son. But things are still so busy that nothing seems to happen. Bergil keeps watching for the repercussions, but maybe they forgot, or something. Have been trying to get inside a 10yo's head, to imagine how he'd be thinking. |
