As soon as Mithadan had left their cabin, Pio threw back the covers and got up. She buckled a belt around her waist and stuck several knives of varying lengths in it. Around one wrist she bound a small piece of red cloth. Her grey cloak pulled tight around her, she strode silently to the deck.

She could see Cami waving the two men off, and she heard Mithadan's voice rise up above the sea noise. Cami said something in response, and the Elf saw her nod weakly. Noting the hobbit's attention continued to stay focused on the departing skiff, Pio ran to the stern, where she had put the net bag to put her catch in, and looped it through her belt. With a last look at both the skiff and at Cami, she stepped from her cloak and dropped swiftly and silently to the waters below.
