***** DALE-Rubin *****

Rubin watched Girion as he stood and then walked toward the King. He could tell the Prince's leg still bothered him greatly. Girion had not allowed him to care for the wound, not wanting him to know, he was sure, how bad it really was. 'Udûn take you!' he swore quietly, thinking of the spiders.

He was helping Hringa pile the spilled goods off the muddy road when he remembered that this was the Dwarf from whom Girion had gotten the salve. He told Hringa that Girion's leg was not healing well, and asked if he might have something stronger they might try.

'Let me take a look at it.' said the Dwarf. 'Then I can decide what might be best for it.'

Rubin thanked him, and returned to his Prince's side, awaiting for a chance to speak.
