Menelduliniel began humming to herself while she sat, waiting for the others to prepare themselves. She looked over to see Estelarion staring at her.

"What is it?" Menelduliniel asked.

"Are you thinking the same thoughts that I am?" Estelarion said, a twinkle in his eye.

"I do not think this is the time to sing, if that is what you mean," Menelduliniel said, "None will be listening and many are out of earshot. We will be a hinderance."

"That has never stopped you before," Estelarion said, "And, with your voice, all will hear. And people can always use a song."

Menelduliniel sighed and thought a minute. She broke into a smile, "Why not? We may as well give people a warning of sorts of what they will be in for when we begin this journey."

She stood up and Estelarion got out her flute. They began to play.

Hinura, by that time, had joined in, the gentle heart complimenting the other two beautifully. They stopped and all smiled at each other.

"Suilannon," Menelduliniel greeted formally, "I am Menelduliniel."

"And I, Estelarion," Estelarion said, smiling at the new member of their group.

"And I," Hinura said, "Am Hinura."

"It will be a great pleasure to travel with you," Menelduliniel said.

"And I with you fine players," Hinura responded.

The new companions all smiled at each other.
