Ragnar's questions
Subject: Galeheart
I think Ragnar should be the one to ask the questions. Coming from a dwarf they might seem less "offensive".

Ragnar is somewhat surprised to see Allistair and Mund return with a guest, but smiles and says "No, though as we represent a militant order we do frequently seem to give that impression. I am Ragnar, son of Glim, a dwarf of the Far Reaches*, and leader of this group."
Taking his cue, oddly enough, from Mund (as Allistair seems to be unable to focus on the matter at hand), Ragnar says "We were sent here to meet with he who was king previously, unaware of the changes that had occurred recently. Upon our arrival, we found out about the changes but have also gotten the impression that the matter is a sensitive topic. We are simply here to present ourselves to the king and retrieve an item belonging to our order, and have no desire to stumble blindly through a charged situation."
"We have no need or even desire that you tell us anything secret, or damaging to your king and country, but there appears to be a great deal which is common knowledge, yet remains unspoken of. If you could tell us anything about the recent succession, king Barden, or his cousin, my friends and I would be very appreciataive."
*OOC: Ragnar would use the dwarf name of the Far Reaches, which unfortunately I don't believe I ever found out.
