"Is it the awe and wonder of this place or what makes the others this quiet?" Tom opened his mouth after seeing no one else would do it.

"How much you wonder... or fear this place", he glanced at Daín, Uglúk and Theodred, "do not let it seal your lips."

He then rose up from the seat he had been given and started to walk around slowly fallen into his thoughts reflecting what lady Galadriel had said.

"I see you are worried about the Uruk. And I do not blame you for it, at least in here. It has been an act of generosity from your race to let him enter in the first place. And I can see it that as a product of art he hates all those born free and why that would give us the reason to suspect him. And he hasn't been the most co-operative member of our fellowship either. But what I fear is that it's his nature to be monomaniac like that and to be openly aggressive when he thinks he has gotten a target and not being able to widen his scope. It's sad but maybe the explanation to his behaviour.

I will fall back to my memories trying to look what he has actually done - like I will try to retract the steps of this young Théodred before it's time to make decisions. We can end this treachery here, remember. And at the moment I think a treacherous Uglúk would have been smoother."

Tom bowed to the lady and lord Celeborn and then retreated back to his seat.
