Elenna, extremely happy to be on the road again, walked up with Gandalf. Her horse, Celebdae, and Olorin the Oliphaunt walked behind her like obedient but oversized dogs. Occasionally, when she didn't seem to be paying either of them too much attention, she would feel a hard poke in the middle of her back from Olorin's trunk or Celebdae's nose. That was the signal to turn around and give the poker a hug.
"This is going to be a long road," Elenna commented to Gandalf after about the fiftieth time hugging the baby oliphaunt. "Where are we going, exactly?"
