The emissary of Jerusalem is the first to act.
"My god! Is that the Kypchak diplomat from Sur? Servants! One of you, get him some water, the other, find a doctor, and quickly!"
Two servant girls exit, including the one who the Roman had his eyes on. She looks only happy to leave the room. The Latin and the Georgian, with some trouble pick the tall Kypchak up and sit him on a chair. The Roman, annoyed, hastily puts a cloth down under him to keep the expensive upholstery from being stained with mud and blood.
"What has happened to him? This can only be an ill omen of what is to come."
