"Evening m'lord. While we don't want to go under your rule again, we can promise not to attack you and stay out of the war. All we want is our independance." "Your independance?" The King says, incredulously. "Your independance? And why should I grant that, of my own volition? Do you think me a fool? What..." The King is intrruped by Anarion, Warden of the Keys, a royal advisor, who says something quietly into his ear. After what appears to be a heated conversation, the King takes a deep breath and speaks to the diplomat with a strained smile on his face. "I apologize, my lord. Where are my manners? Perhaps we can speak of this over dinner, tonight, where we can both speak at ease." "I would love to." "Good."

Around an hour later, the King has prepared a small feast. The King, who is gaunt and pale like a skeleton, does not partake of the meal.
