Faldo was puffing at his pipe at Eodwine's side. "She puts me in mind of Lumiel and Eswen; and Lyra, may her soul rest in peace."

"Who are they?" asked Saeryn. "Or were they?"

"Elven swordmaidens who guarded our backs in the hills of Evendim," Falco replied as his smoke rings grew, floating into Gudryn's room.

"Their prowess was great," Eodwine said. "Lyra was not least among them, but perished in the attack on the fiend's fortress. She is greatly missed."

"I would have liked to know her," Saeryn said.

"You may meet the other two. Who can say?" Eodwine turned to Falco. "What is the time?"

"I have it at midnight. Seems we'd do best to split the night into three hours apiece. And since I hold my ale better'n you, Master Eodwine, let's have it that the Lady wakes me up and I wake you, eh?"

"Hah! Hold your ale better than I? You keep yourself so soaked, you never dry out!"

"Nonsense! Lady, I shall sleep nearest the door so all you need do is knock, and I'll come running."
