"They spoke only of some covenant between we and them, and they claimed the rangers with Lance broke it by attacking them. But they declined to explain, and said it was OUR secret. I saw them, taking wildling children in cages, but I could not say the reason why."

Lance replied, "They attacked us only after one of my men attacked them. And even thought I fought them, when i was disarmed, they kept me alive. In a fucking box, but alive."

"We should find out what this covenant is," Domeric urged, "Otherwise we can not possibly know their intentions."

Lance nodded, and said, "If Mudd does not know... no living man of the brothers will know. I will ask him."
Lord Commander Mudd walked into the room alone, and said, "Ask him what?"

Domeric gulped, and stepped to the back. He was the only non-officer here, and also the instigator of a near mutiny. It made for feeling a little exposed.

Mudd looked about and said easily, "Lance... it is good to see you alive. We had thought you lost for sure."
Lance smiled, and said, "I have heard how you worried."
Bull stepped forward and glanced at Lance, then looked at Domeric, "Get those men to the Maester, and then back to your barracks. Try and keep mum on what has happened."

Domeric frowned, "c'mon fellas," he said, "let's get a move on then," Domeric said
He led them up to the maester's tower and waited for the maester to admit him.

Domeric went to the Commander's rooms with reservations.
"Lord Commander," he said, as he poked his head in.

Mudd was standing at a window staring down at training brothers. His voice was calm, but slightly strained as he said, "come in." Then remained quiet, for too long.

"You wanted to see me about something?" Domeric prompted.

"I did.... I wanted to hear about the escapade in your own words." Mudd replied.

"Not sure what there is to hear," Domeric replied. "After you done told us that Lance Sands was killed, couple of us who'd been given orders to go out on a range, fore Lance left, went out, and we figured, as long as we going out, we best go and see if we can find his corpse. Well he weren't no corpse."

Mudd nodded, "The First Ranger believes that you should be promoted in the order."
