Pio watched as Rose and Child went below deck. She wanted to go with them, but she knew she'd better not. Her presence might compromise anything of interest that they might find.
Her thoughts were out of control at the moment, stuck on this ship with probably the mightiest Sindar this side of the Sundering Seas. 'Probably? the mightiest - no, THE mightiest.' she sighed to herself. 'I am going to have to walk the very straight and narrow from here to Aman!'
She peered toward the West as if her eyes might gauge the distance. 'It's going to be a long trip.' she thought.
Turning back toward the bow of the ship, she looked up and saw Cirdan smiling at her.
'A very, very long trip!' she thought.
