Raefindan

As they galloped after the merchant and mercenaries, Raefindan watched the back of the man who was Mellonin's brother. His mind whirled as he tried to hold onto reins and bow at the same time. I grieve with you, friend. Your loss is deep. Which loss? You search for the one you love. She has vanished into the wild, and you know not where. And your heart finds no rest without her. Angela? She's dead! The love you seek-- her fate is woven with mine, is it not? How could her fate be woven with Mellonin's brother? And what was he doing with Elves? And how did this man know him? How could he? Why did he act like a king? Was he?

As they neared the mercenaries, his questions took a back seat to a more pressing one. How am I going to fight these mercenaries?

Ædegard

Ædegard eyed the new men. They were not Rohirrim. The red haired man seemed akin to the Rohirrim; maybe he was a northman. The two others seemed to be Gondorian; they handled their horses and weapons with ease. The red haired man was no fighter or rider. It was easy to see from how he handled horse and weapons. Ædegard had never been in battle either, too young for the War; but all young men of Rohan were given training in arms, especially those who lived in Edoras. Ædegard would be ready, and would show himself adept. He would die well if it came to that. It was the way of his folk.

Jorje

The pack was changing again! Red man was still lead dog now, but for how long? That other pack had taken away the two mancubs and red man had not even fought them! They needed cubs, or the pack would suffer! But this new man was a strong one! All these one toed, big dogs! He was going to yell, but the one toe dogs all had their own lead dogs. All the men got on a one toe dog! Would one try to get on his back? No. The females were left walking. Chase or stay? Chase of course! Jorje ran after the one toe dogs. They were fast! They were chasing that other pack. Were they going to try to get the mancubs back? He would help. with his voice. He would yell! And with his teeth. He would bite, but only if one of them fell from a one toe dog. Those toes were hard and could hurt his mouth.
