When Gawain led Amber and Heidi to arrive at a building site near the brick-kiln yard under the soldier's guide, the odd priest who had suddenly appeared in the territory had been occupied for some time already.
This was a slovenly, travel-stained, and exceptionally stout chap. He was currently carrying baskets of heavy bricks with the workers to where they were building walls. Despite it already being late in the cold Frost Month, he and the other workers had worked out a body of sweat, such that the worn-our priest robes had been removed by him and tied around his waist as a waist-cloth, revealing robust upper-body muscles and bronze skin.
The muscles in his arm literally looked like he was ready to perish together with heretics anytime.
