And Ingcel saw them through the wheels of the chariots.
Then Ingcel was perceived from the house. He made a start from it after
being perceived.
He went till he reached the reavers in the stead wherein they were. Each
circle of them was set around another to hear the tidings--the chiefs of
the reavers being in the very centre of the circles. There were Fer ger
and Fer gel and Fer rogel and Fer rogain and Lomna the Buffoon, and
Ingcel the One-eyed--six in the centre of the circles. And Fer rogain
went to question Ingcel.
"How is that, O Ingcel?" asks Fer rogain.
"However it be," answers Ingcel, "royal is the custom, hostful is the
tumult: kingly is the noise thereof. Whether a king be there or not, I
will take the house for what I have a right to. Thence my turn of
rapine cometh."
"We have left it in thy hand, O Ingcel!" say Conaire's fosterbrothers.
"But we should not wreak the Destruction till we know who may
be therein."
"Question, hast thou seen the house well, O Ingcel?" asks Fer rogain.
