Rinkemen was taken back by the quickness and the power of the attack. He thanked the stars that his blade had protected him and kept a strong grip on it. He looked at her with a look of confusion, an elf!
"Who are you? And why have you been following me?!"

"Me? Following you? Don't be so quick to assume things. The real question is, what's an older man like you doing in the wilderness, alone?" Airain said, slowly circling him, watching all his movements. He didn't frighten her in the least, she was just rather curious. In this moment her thoughts had drifted far from the girl who, unaware to Airain, had run off.

Liran suddenly stopped. He had smelled something odd. Rowen turned around and looked at him, obviously surprised. "Didn't you smell anything?" he inquired. She shook her head.

"Strange. I'm sure I did.." He walked slowly, heading upwind and looking about carefully. He caught it again. The smell of fire. He waved to Rowen. "Come! Someone's been here! Or close by, anyway."

She caught up, and after some searching they found a spot where someone had obviously spent the night. The grass was still flattened and the ashes of the fire were smoldering. Whoever it was had either been careless or in a very great hurry, to leave the fire like that.. Liran kneeled and started studying the ground.

"Rowen, I'm not very good at this, he said. Try and see if you can find anything. Two pairs of eyes might see what one would miss."

Rowen nodded and began to look carefully at the ground. There was little chance that she would find anything, as inexperienced as she was, but she tried regardless. Several minutes later, after finding nothing but a few bread crumbs and a line of busy ants, she sat down resolutely and sighed.
"I can't find anything; I don't even know what I'm looking for. It's all trampled grass and ashes to me. And footprints, but it's not as if I memorized Radiel's shoe..." she trailed off as something caught her eye.
"Wait a moment! I think...I think there's two different prints. See? This one is lighter.." Surprised at her good fortune, she showed her companion what she had found.

"I am on my way to Rohan. My horse ran off in the night."
He lied to her, but how could he know if she worked for the enemy? He had never seen one of them.
"Ever since i left Minas Tirith to head home i have seen you and someone else following me. Who are you?!"

Airain looked at the man skeptically, she had heard during her and Radiel's journey a caravan, but there was more than just one horse with it. Airain hadn't paid much attention to whoever was traveling a distance away from her and Radiel. So, she really doubted that this man was telling her the truth, but after a moment she responded with,
"Who are you? But I might as well not even bother asking, you don't trust me, obviously, so you will not answer truthfully." Before the man could answer Airain noticed a rather large amount of blood seeping out of a wound from his arm, which dripped onto the ground. Airain reached out her hand and grabbed his arm.
"What attacked you?" She asked.

Rinkemen winced as she grabbed his arm.
"Do you have to?!"
He pulled his arm back and cradled it with his other arm checking the bandage.
"It was a warg ok? Caught me off guard..."
He trailed off as he looked at her face a moment longer.
"Wait..."
He stepped forward and bent in closely to look at her face in detail.
"Do I kno... Yes ..."
He thought and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Of course! I know you! From the war! You helped my small group of men fight off those wargs. You came from nowhere and killed the one that was about to eat my head... Air... Airain! Yes Airain!"
He sheathed his sword and smiled.
"You surely do not work for the enemy. I am sorry i almost attacked you"

The moment the man had bent in closely to look at Airain, she had been a little taken off guard. Then he proceeded to tell her how he knew her, which made Airain feel rather guilty. She couldn't remember who this man was for the life of her, but then again, he was pretty old and it must have happened when he was much younger man.
"Forgive me, but I do remember the incident you're talking about. It happened on the outskirts of Minas Tirith, did it not? I, however, cannot really remember who you are. I believe I came and helped your group kill the wargs, and then I left immediately, correct? Yes, I think that's how it happened. I went back up to Minas Tirith, I don't remember us sharing names though.." Airain said.

He smiled and nodded as she described the facts.
"Yes, indeed. Our meeting was brief but it was enough for me to understand that you cannot be an agent of the enemy."
He streached out a hand.
"Rinkemen, my lady, at your service."

Airain shook his hand.
"Airain Aldarion, but you already knew that." She paused.
"Do you by chance know a young girl by the name of Radiel?" Airain asked, Radiel coming back to her mind. She knew the girl wasn't telling her the full truth, so she decided to ask Rinkemen if he knew anything about her.

He rose an greying brow and his forehead turned to an array of wrinkels.
"Yes I do, she is a student of mine, I think the most important question is how you know my student and why you bring her up?"

Wonderful, Airain thought to herself. The girl had been out here tracking down her teacher and trying to follow him to Rohan.
"Eh, stay here." Airain said before turning and jogging off to where she had left Radiel. She came out of the small forest and into a clearing, to find Radiel not where she had left her. Airain's heart began to race as she searched all around the forest to where Radiel could have wandered off. She was nowhere in sight. Airain spun around and searched in the distance with her Elven eyes, she soon caught sight of a figure running across the terrain as fast as Airain had seen her move in the short time of their journey together.
Oh, this is just great..., Airain thought as she rushed back into the forest.
"In answer to your question, I found the girl last night, to make a long story short we began a journey together. She told me she was going to Rohan, I knew she wasn't telling me the whole story and now I know why. She's been following you to Rohan because she wants to see Middle-earth for herself. I left her outside of the forest when I heard you, I told her to stay there, she must have heard your voice and knew what was going on because I caught sight of her a long distance away running as fast as she could. I need to catch her before she gets herself killed, but before I do, why are you heading to Rohan and who is the other man traveling with you?" Airain asked quickly.

He shook his head.
"I cannot say why. But i was traveling with a group of dwarves and one of your kin joined us."
He looked desperatly if he could see her for himself.
"Are we going to give chase?"

"No. You should meet back up with the others you are traveling with. It will be easier for me to catch her; she won't be able to outrun me. We might see each other again along our journey but until we meet back up at Rohan, Namárië." Airain said, spinning around swiftly and sprinting out of the forest after the young girl. She knew Rinkemen could not tell her the reason to which he was traveling to Rohan because it was to be kept secret, this had sparked her interest however and now she actually had a reason to travel to Rohan with the girl. Airain wanted to find out what was going on.

"Goodbye! And Airain keep her safe!"
He waved at her and turned the other direction and began to jog after the wagons.

Liran looked at the prints Rowen pointed out. He nodded, "Yes, you're right. There definitely were two people here. Not that we have any way of knowing who they might be.."

"But look! They left that way" he added, pointing to a pair of tracks heading roughly to the west. "What do you think, Rowen? We really don't know who's these are. But they might be Radiel's, and they're going where we've assuming she is. Should we follow them?"
