However, his MOTHER definitely > had to. :) I recall a passage in /FHYA/ where Rollondar gives a message to a soldier, who asks what he should do after delivering the message, and Rollondar says something like, "Nothing; rather, thank your lucky stars that it was to you and not to someone else that I gave this errand." Presumably, the message was to Morrolan's mother.
