The Two Tanists (A Bard Without a Star, book 2)
“It was a small Caer, and he was immediately noticed, and tagged as an outsider. The patrons of the few public houses refused to say a word, kind or unkind, and even the innkeepers were very grudging in their acceptance of his business. Reluctantly, Gwydion decided that his best choice would be to shape shift.
As a mouse, Gwydion found the Dyfedians to be much more open and talkative. He scurried throughout the caer, looking for good conversations, but he noticed that two topics kept coming up: ...Gwynedd and the lord’s son, Kyrnin. Even more intriguing to Gwydion, the major difference in the tone was that Gwynedd was hated directly, where Kyrnin was not, although most people found his actions and attitude worthy of complaint.
Curious, he followed a servant who had been ordered to prepare Lord Dyfed’s chamber for a meeting with his son. Gwydion perched on a rafter while the servant laid out bread and wine, and stirred the fire to life. Gwillim, Lord Dyfed came in before he had finished, said a few quiet words to the servant, who quickly completed his tasks and bowed himself out of the room.MoreLess
