[Maeggaladiel]

The silver dog whined. He was trapped in a stall and his human was nowhere in sight. The elf woman had visited him several times, but he was otherwise alone.

And that meant that his human was alone! Grunting with the exhertion, Arrow stood on shaking legs. He wasn't in pain; that nasty liquid that Isaac made him drink must still be working. Either that or the elf maid's healings worked very quickly. He sniffed his clean bandages. They reeked of herbs and dried blood, almost overpowering to his sensitive nose. He sneezed.

Time to find his Eleniel.

Standing on his hind legs, the dog hooked his forepaws over the door to his stall. As he had guessed, the lock on the other side was a simple latch. He bent his neck as far down as he could and grasped the latch with his teeth. Wagging his tail gleefully, Arrow unlocked the door and trotted to the Inn. He butted open the Inn door with his head and looked around. Isaac and the elf woman were in one corner, but Eleniel was not with them. She was talking with two other gentlemen.

She was talking to strangers without him?!?! He growled and ran to her, plopping himself down on her feet. His injured leg gave a painful flare of protest, but he ignored it, drooling on her shoe to get her attention.

"Arrow!!" Eleniel cried. "What in Middle Earth are you doing in here!?" Arrow gave her a smug look. If SHE could be here, HE could be here.
