A warm glow spread through Tumnaooriel as Bulvard nestled in her arms and she felt a sudden affinity with the large warrior. She allowed Elwyn to help her lower the man to the ground, now fast asleep. Another howl rang out around the group and Elwyn unsheathed her sword and then looked down at Bulvard.
"It's ok," Tumnaooriel said, sensing the concern the other had for the great man, "I'll look after him, I can't fight so I might as well." But deep down she knew it wasn't true. She wanted to look after him, to make sure he was ok. She wondered why she felt so strongly for a man she'd only just met and remembered how it had felt for the few moments he was in her arms. It was a feeling she didn't want to lose.
