Nuhrive's parents were speechless with shock. They could accept the fact that she'd sneaked out of her room; they'd been children once too and remembered it well enough to know that such rebellion was almost to be expected. In Men. It was less common among the Elves. They could not understand what would have made her actually leave the Wood, though. What had she been thinking? And her lack of caution had proven disastrous. After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, Sultir quietly rose and left them to their thoughts. He could do little good here, but he might be able to help with the rescue mission.
Halfway to the Hall, he met Jemel coming in search of him. She didn't seem surprised to hear that Isolde and Milar were staying in their rooms. Sultir would be enough. She hurried him along to the meeting in progress.
