Redford seems hesitate to bring something up. Anne notices and tells him to spit it out.

Redford frowns, "Well, a few villagers nearby have expressed concern…a good portion of the guards have left to gather in the capital. They worry that they may be attacked by bandits. The mayor has asked if we would be willing to open up our castle to villagers in case there is an attack."

Anne shakes her head, "We aren't a bed and breakfast…let them figure it out on their own."

Arlo frowns, "Have some compassion Anne, if these people are attacked by bandits would you really not open the gates?"

It looks like Anne is going to say something sarcastic, but she suddenly sighs and says nothing.

Arlo looks at you, "What do you think Captain?"
