Orlo was confused, to say the least. Both Elladan and Serin seemed to have a conspiratorial look about them, and their talk of "alliances for alliances" greatly puzzled him. Watch who? Fanelen? Or Mikhelm? Or both? He decided to speak up: he'd already proved he was a simple hobbit ; there was no harm in being straightforward.
"Excuse me, sir- sirs," he added, carefully looking at Serin. "All this talk of alliances has confused me. What exactly are you meaning?" He looked at his companions seriously, hoping they wouldn't burst into laughter at his naive manner.
