Releived but still slightly dazed at what had just happened, Tumnaooriel took a deep breath and summoned up all her courage to reply to Culloth, who was already disappearing through the trees, back in the direction she and Bulvard had just flown from.
"I can't fight" she said, as loudly as she could manage, waiting in anxious fear for Culloth's response. There was a pause. "How many people are you fighting, if it is people, is it worth going back, or would it be safer to stay here, or hide, or run away? I know it sounds cowardly, but if we have no chance of winning then..." her voice trailed off under the withering stare Culloth gave her and Tumnaooriel felt herself shrinking back behind Bulvard, more scared of his siter than him.
