The fact that Valette's status of eligible bachelorette had changed recently did not sit well with Birk. He was jealous, but not for such trivial reasons as true and one and only love for the gray alphess, but because someone else had ascended to the throne, someone he did not know well (and now would not care much to get to know or befriend) and someone, who was not him. A little naively he had hoped for recognition for his diligent effort at the borders, for his loyalty to the group and a reward to stand next to the Queen would have been greatly appreciated. Because, though he did not love her, there was some level of sincere affection, respect and loyalty towards her.
But this was not going to happen and having hard time to cope with his sour mood and feeling too murderous to continue his patrol, receive strangers politely and civilly and not kill them or maim them on sight, he left Easthollow behind. The forest on the opposite side seemed like a very good place not to meet a single friendly and familiar face and there - hidden far from curious eyes, he settled down and began to destroy a hefty branch he had found lying around. Imagining that it was the face of his rival, gave the northerner some solace.
