Erik nods his head, smiling. "You've made a wise choice, Smallwood. Your family survives, your lands are secure, and you join the winning side." He holds out his hand to shake Smallwood's. "I want the troops mustered in my camp by noon, two days from now. You'll be staying home for the little excursion?"

"Perhaps I should." Smallwood said, not convincingly. "two days, the men will assemble." he turned his horse around to leave.
