((People here don't like to sleep...do they?))

That night, Tindomerel had woken. She had been nuzzled into Nimloth's fuzzy white coat. She had gotten up and went and found a tree. She had climbed it and fell asleep. With her sword at her side, she was trying to keep a look out, but fell asleep in the branches.

Tindomerel woken to the smell of smoke. She looked down and saw Rhayader smoking a pipe, under the tree. She stiffled a giggle. He must not have known she was there.
She slowly started climbing down, having climbed in many trees before. When she was nearly at the bottom, she wrapped her legs around a branch. She hung upside down, right in front of Rhayader.
"Hi," she said.

Rhayader jumped back and cried out.
"AH!"
He gasped and sighed when he saw who it was.
"Do you mind? I'm trying to have a quiet smoke here.... And how did you get up there without me knowing?!"

Tindomerel giggled, still hanging. "I was here before you," said the elf, still giggling between her words, "I was trying to make my elf eyes useful and act as a look out, but I fell asleep. I smelled your smoke and woke up. My father always did say I was good at climbing trees...and startling people when they least expect it!"

She was still hanging, looking at Rhayader. "What are you doing here? You do realize you should be resting."

Arinae allowed herself plenty of rest that night, greatly needing it, and sensible enough to force herself to sleep. She awoke before the dawn came and strapped her sword belt on with a determined expression and headed towards where the people where gathered. She herself did a head count of all the villagers, wounded and unwounded alike. Leaping on Stardance, Arinae began to make a quick round of the village, the dim light of dawn just enough for her to see.

She soon came upon Rhayader against a tree and Tin hanging upside down from the tree. She raised a brow but wasn't in the mood to be amused. "We should get moving... if you haven't noticed it is nearly dawn and we're supposed to have started out all ready.... " She gave an apologetic smile but quickly spurred her steed onward and finished checking the village.

Taking her place at the head of the company, Arinae gave no cry, but gave a silent signal for them to move forward, the wounded on drag stretchers pulled by a few horses and a few stretchers carried by men, the wagons mostly having been destroyed in the attack. The formation of the group was so that the villagers were in a stretched out group between two lines of riders, with a larger company towards both front and back. As they made their way from the village, Arinae sent forward two scouts, then had one lag behind and one on each side head outwards.

"I've slept for far enough."
He frowned.
"I needed a smoke."
He leaned his back and sighed.
"Besides I am well enough to be marching or riding somewhere."

Jax had recently aquired a horse and rode allong with the group as they moved out.

The horse would get him where he needed to go but when it came time to fight he would be nearly usless on the larg animal, never having fought from one before.

Tindomerel sat upon Lebethron, tall and proud. Her sword was at her side and her useless bow on her back, with a totally empty quiver. Nimloth trotted along side Lebethron.
Her hair was pulled back up in a bun, tied neatly. She had wrapped fresh bandages around her shoulder, quickly, before they had left. Her shoulder felt much better than before. She made sure that she could keep half an eye on Rhayader. He said he was well enough to travel, but just in case, she keep an eye on him.

Tindomerel was very much awake, watching the road with great care. Even though Arinae had sent scouts, Tindomerel made sure that she was close enough to the front to see far. Her eyes saw a glint of moment. She was about to wheel her horse around to tell Arinae, but it ended up just being a rabbit, hopping across the plains.

Arinae dropped back from the head of the line and came to ride beside Jax.

"I need your opinion.... I have no doubt the orcs will attack, but do you believe the dundelings and other such will be a threat to this company? Or would you say they have moved on? The scouts brought only word of orcs..."

"As long as they think I am dead I see no reason why they would still be around. However if they find I am alive they will likely not stop until i am dead. In such an event I would leave this group to prevent further loss of life." Jax answered after thinking a bit.

Rhayader rode upon a horse lent to him by one of the riders. He thanked him and follwed closely behind the elf.
"You know I don't think Arinae was too pleased with your antics."

Arinae looked at Jax a moment then shook her head, "then let us hope they will not come yet... but they will go on to raid another village, and then another." She clenched her jaw and looked ahead. "When I have reinforcements, and if they were to find you still live, then let it be that a trap is set for them, and then we shall take them down and end their reign of terror..."

Tindomerel looked at Rhayader, smirking at him. "Father always did say that I never knew when to stop," said Tindomerel, with a grin, "In fact, he once told me to grow up."
She looked back at Rhayader, then past him to Arinae, who was speaking with Jax. "I hope she's not mad at me," said Tindomerel, "I can be childish. And if I had told her about that movment..."

"They will." Jax said in a reply to Arinae's words of them raiding vilages.


"Last I knew they were planning to head southward... if it was for any reasons I don't know." jax added.

"I would not worry too much, she is just very tense. Moving these people to Edoras will be a long journey."
He glanced around.
"Just stay aleart."

"Yeah, alert," said Tindomerel, rolling her eyes, "I was alert when I thought a rabbit was an orc scout. Even my eyes like to play tricks."
Her eyes turned back to looking across the plains. She saw movment. She didn't know what it was.
"What's that, Rhayader?" she asked in a low voice, "Over by that large rock...?"
