The Green Dragon Inn - Part 6

[Esgallhugwen]

Uien had approached them as hopefully expected. Lira stood up from the table and looked back at her with a question on her face, Esgallhugwen nodded that she would soon follow but did not want to intrude or feel rather like an obedient dog, following wherever Lira would tread.

She had heard much of the earlier converse due to her keen hearing, and needn't be filled in on the details she already knew. But soon enough when she felt the time to be right she too left the Inn for the stable to hear Uien curiously question about the silver dagger that hung gracefully on Lira's side.

Esgallhugwen didn't speak much but decided to do so now 'the dagger is a gift from one new friend to the other, and I am curious to know if Lira has skill with her new gift,(if not I'd be more then willing and glad to teach her) and I also took notice that she carried no such item on her, so in giving it to her I gave her protection and my friendship'. Uien glanced back a little startled at the Elf's sudden appearance, Lira laughed already used to Esgallhugwen popping up here and there without being looked for.

'I was also curious to know if I too could join on this search for Eodwine, it would grieve me to part from a friend whom I have only just begun to know' Morsereg, Esgallhugwen's black steed snorted in the corral as other horses drew around him waiting for their oats, he whickered gently to greet Esgallhugwen and the two other Elves.
