When the door opens from the Citadel in Troy, Hektor does not look much as if he wants to step through; but it would be unwise to ignore the call of the goddess, and so he enters Millways anyway. His bow is a little short, a little pained. "Lady," he says to the Bar, "I have no offering to make you this day. All that I had set aside to bring, I have had to give instead to Apollo, to turn his wrath aside from my sister. I would not rob you of what I owe, but I cannot bring you anything until I have returned home and the matter of my sister is settled."
The Bar does not seem very much upset with this. Indeed, when his words are done she offers him the mid-day meal, although he had not asked for it. He murmurs his thanks and turns to find somewhere that he might sit with it, without being overrun by thoughts.
