"How goes it, my friend?" Maeralagos heard Telpeheled's voice at his side. "I have to thank you too- thank you for looking out for me and thank you for trying."

Maeralagos looked up at him from his gaze at the ground. He looked at him with a face ghostly pale, before managing a small smile. At least Telpeheled had lived to see the end of this confrontation. At least they all had...

Maeralagos listened as Telpeheled continued speaking quietly, listened as best he could. He felt sick with himself. No time before, had he ever felt that it was wrong to kill an enemy. No time before had the life of one enemy been shown to him as the life of one person, as it had after he killed Telpeheled's foe. Maeralagos began to wonder about that other Easterling he'd killed back by the trees, the one who'd inflicted the wound in his shoulder.

He was startled out of this painful reverie with Telpeheled's question to Bordarigorn. He listened to the proceeding exchange without words. They were going to start up again. He looked around for the other Elves.
