Child, Rose, and Mithadan sat in the storeroom waiting for Piosenniel to return. Bird perched on an overhead shelf. At one point, Rose tried to open the storeroom door and peer out into the hallway, but Mithadan quickly pulled her back.
The dire foreboding which Child had sensed as she trudged through the tunnel was largely gone. She dug into the provisions in the pouch at her side, and began setting out food for everyone to share. Mithadan sat alone preoccupied with his thoughts, so the two hobbits settled down to eat as they waited for the Elf's return. Bird remained nestled on the shelf above. Child wondered when and if she would take a different form.
