Soronume was slightly taken aback by Eleniel's offer of a drink or something to eat. It was not a curteousy he was used to, but was pleased at the offer none the less and graciously accepted, "Just something small then, thank you, my'lady"
“I should be interested to hear of your adventures, if you wouldn’t mind my asking.” Eleniel inquired after seeing to getting the three of them their second breakfast. Arrow seemed excited at this prospect of food despite the fact Elenial had fed him just moments ago.
"Of course I do not mind your asking, not at all. I have a rather curious mind myself" Soronume began. "Indeed, I explore the lands at my leisure, I find comfort in being alone and wandering the paths trodden by few and climbing hills only seen by some. There is something more than comforting about wandering alone at times with nothing as a guide save your heart". He smiled as Eleniel seemed to be intently listening to him.
He continued, "My adventures however take me further afield than I would venture alone, and company is much preferable on an adventure than it is during exploration. It was some time ago now but I had an adventure with many others into Cirith Ungol, which is something I will never forget. Some of the memories I have of that are too close to my heart." Soronume stopped momentarily, "But I carry on none-the-less, I have other things I wish to see, and hope to have another adventure soon as well".
Eleniel smiled. "You travel so far afield yet you bring yourself back to the Shire? You have the same love as me of this place, a peaceful stop along route, or just from it but you cannot pass it by?"
"Indeed" Soronume replied to her question as he accpeted another drink, one which Eleniel had kindly bought him. He wet his mouth with the drink before placing the cup lightly back down on the wooden table top. "I have friends here too, though you would not guess as much from the way I seem to be sat alone frequently. It seems that we miss eachother each time we return".
"Perhaps" Eleniel added, "but you have company now Soronume"...
