The door, when last he tried it from the Bar's side, opened for Hektor without hesitation or trouble. This he took as a sign that the goddess of the place was done with him for the moment, and so he returned to the Citadel and continued about his business.
Two days have passed since then. He has been out working with a new chariot team, getting the feel for both horses, for the better part of six hours now. He'd not expected the Bar when he opened the stable door, but one doesn't deny the Lady.
Especially not when a wax tablet appears in front of you, marked with Her writing (which would do any tutor credit).
"Very well," he says, and moves to the other side of the Bar. "I've served in gods' sanctuaries before. This should be simple enough."
The thought of putting a sign up to signify what's on offer doesn't occur to him. One would think that the sight of a man in a belted blue tunic (even if he does rather smell of horse and his own sweat just now) behind the Lady's altar would be sign enough that he's ready to serve.
