Theodred made a brief appearance; hearing the end of Galadriel's speech, he realized that he must also have a few words with some of the group.
"Galadriel, I, too, regret now the decision to allow Halbarad's continued presence with our fellowship, and while we may disagree regarding....regarding your lifestyle....I feel that for now at least I have no choice but to trust you, at least regarding the curious behavior of Halbarad.
"As for the rest of you, I must speak my mind. Those of you who were responsible for Gandalf's departure, I express my displeasure. Though there were others less worthy to travel with us, you ignored this fact and called for his dismissal from the fellowship. To add to the crime, you saw that, mere moments before we were to reach our final concensus, he was unprepared to defend himself against your accusations and so you set to outnumber him."
Theodred had avoided the rest of the group during the night, speaking quietly with Eomer, one of the only fellowship members he found trustworthy. After the company's discovery of Elladan's grim fate, Theodred realized that Elladan had refused to voice an opinion regarding the previous day's banishment, as had Radagast and the revolting creature called Ugluk. Perhaps he was aware of something dangerous, maybe he had discovered the identity of one of the traitors? He shook the idea out of his mind and strutted away, careful now to keep his thoughts to himself; at this rate, even his own kin wasn't to be trusted. Behind him, he could here Bombadil's incessant rhyming.
