Azra couldn't sleep. Part of it was excitement. But she was also troubled. She rose from her bed and walked through the workhouse where she found Lindo cradling one of the babies in his arms. Azra couldn't discern the expresion on the hobbit's face. Lindo looked at her but she avoided his gaze and instead cast her eyes about the room. It seemed empty. Was somthing missing? Then she understood that she was so used to hearing Lindo sing that when he did not the room became a strange place.
"It's very quiet. Without your songs." She said as she stared at her feet. "You..You sing well." This was the first time she had ever complemented Lindo.
"Lindo. I'm really, really, sorry. I would have told you. We were going to tell you. When Nitir thought the time was right. We should have known my big mouth would get me in trouble. I blabed alot on the Lonley Star too. And did rebelious things. But, I guess I should stop thinking only of myself. Lindo, I'm going to be spending a lot of time with the orc guards. Serving them but really spying on them. I think I'll go now. I'm not going to sleep otherwise. Today when you see Nitir, tell her I promise never to act before I think."
Then before Lindo could say anything verbal or non Azra had left.
