Lance laughed, "Do not fault James for caring that his man died in the field." He put his hand on the Builder's shoulder, "He took two men with him when he went, I could tell from the field."
The builder nodded in thanks.
The Steward said, "Lance we can we get to business... Mudd is mad. He wants your blood."

Domeric watched and frowned, "What did Lance do? He didn't ask nobody to come rescue him after all."

First Steward Ser Bull Snow replied, "Men committed mutiny to kill themselves to save Lance... Men do not even get out of Mudd's path as he walks about."

Domeric snorted, "Well, when you put it like that. But even so, you can't kill a man for that. He can hang me and the other fella for disobeying orders, if he like, but he ain't got nothing on Lance."

Lance was quiet as he thought, "If he tries and hangs you, I will give him cause." His voice was tense, and hard.
Bull frowned, "Lance... since only the builder did not return, say that a patrol was ordered before you went missing."

"He'd know it a lie, most likely," Domeric said, "But it would help him save face."

Lance frowned, and then nodded, "If that is what must be done."

Domeric frowned too, and crossed his arms over his chest. "So then... what about the Gold Masks?"

Lance replied, "We tell the truth... no reason to lie about them." He frowned, "I have the sense they are not planning assault, but it matters little if they drive the rest of wildlings before them like cattle to slaughter... fuck more like a stampede then to slaughter... too many miles of empty walls."

Domeric nodded curtly. "I don't much relish being forced to fight them bastards though stampede or otherwise."

Bull sat down, and kicked his feet up. "Should we go after the gold face fucks?"
The First Builder frowned, "The wall is our duty, and manning it our first task. Chasing after Wildlings who have no intention of crossing it are ludacris."

"That's true enough, and it would take away the only advantage we have to boot."

Lance nodded slowly, "I tend to agree, but I hate that we must attack the edge of this problem rather then its core."

"Can they truly depopulate the lands beyond the wall? And what will they do... if they achieve that? It must have some purpose besides slaughter." Domeric asked.

Lance looked at Domeric, "You spoke with them the most... did you ask them that?"
