Getting the message

Hrothgar froze. Enelye saw him, but gave no indication she had. She kept talking to the soldiers. Hrothgar pointed to himself, then pantomimed running really fast. He slowly backed out.
He dashed over to a halfling lad who was feeding Hrothgar's horse an apple.
"Boy." Hrothgar tried not to shout. "You there, boy." Hrothgar began mounting his horse.
"When the elven lady inside is done talking to those thugs, tell her Hrothgar awaits her at the old church." He flipped the lad a silver piece and put spurs to the horse.
