Boros shifted uncomfortably at Harlan's comment, giving the young lad a stern grimace but no comments. He decided he was happy with the task of taking care of the prisoners.

Vex nodded to Sigfry, not commenting on his fumbling. She gave Harlan a stern look. "Have I ever claimed otherwise?" she inquired, leaving it up to interpretation whether she was talking about her sanity or Harlan having a go at the girl. "Would've left that - very important, by the way - job for Tim, but alas..." she trailed off. "You'll have your fill of pillaging later."

Harlan’s expression turns from scolding to confused, “You want the man who knows his way around the inn and can identify those inside to stand down during the raid? How fucking thick are you?” He looked around gauging his companions to see if they found Vex’s orders as conflicting as he did.

Tim glanced between the two. Harlan was his mate - sometimes - yet he thought Vex had the strength to lead them as few did. Besides, Harlan had as good as said he hadn't wanted to lead. Yet here he was, arguing with their current leader and it seemed to Tim like they might be heading for yet another conflict that cost them another body to fight on their side.
"I'm 'appy wi' what Vex said," he remarked. "Seems t'me like that innkeeper's wench ain't goin' nowhere, any'ow." He paused, thinking. "But I ain't gonna be fussed if you and me swapped jobs, 'Arlan. If Vex is willin'."

"Harlan, dear," said Vex, and threw her arm around Harlan's shoulders in a friendly enough manner, though the grip she maintained on his shoulder was steely. "We can't risk the lead actor of the play getting injured by rabble right before the most important part of the play," she explained with only a tinge of impatience in her voice. "Besides, you are the only one of us who can without a doubt get rid of unwanted travellers, should there be any. Really sell that poor Warren's lot here have all fallen ill with pox, plague or extreme syphilis, what have you. You're better with the stories and details."
She studied him for a short while before releasing him from her grip. "Your information is of course valuable. Tell us what you can about the layout that you think Tim might've missed."

His ego now properly stroked, Harlan is easily swayed towards Vex’s way of thinking. He stands up and brushed himself off, “Very well, best not to keep our audience waiting.”

"So... nothing you saw that Tim might've not?" she asked him.

“Nope, not that I recall,” Harlan replied. “Tim’s eyes be as good as any man’s.”

Vex raised an eyebrow, but said nothing further.
Later, when the night had fallen, she gave the order to move out and block the exits before entering via the secret passage.
