Pio entered the cabin and saw Mithadan lying on the other side of the great bed. So still, his breathing so quiet. His face was pale, and his eyes moved restlessly beneath the closed lids. Some remembrance caused him to cry out softly in his sleep. She went to his side and sat beside him, regarding him thoughtfully.

He sleeps and dreams, but it brings him no rest. came the soft thought of Idril, who had just entered the cabin.

Pio startled at her presence, and rose from the bed. 'I did not hear you enter.' she said. She returned her gaze to the pale warrior, 'He fought well and cunningly, will he live to do so again?' she asked.

'He will.' said Idril. 'But for now I feel it best we keep him comfortable and quiet until we can get him back to the Barrow Downs. Recovery always comes more quickly in familiar surroundings. Let us leave the two sleeping creatures to their dreams. I would talk with you.'

Idril led Pio out to the balustrade overlooking the bow of the ship. Tuor's ship led them in a south and west direction, out of the passage to the Inner Sea.

'We will soon be turning north and east toward the shores of Middle-earth, then to the river site where first you boarded. Once all are safely returned to the Barrow Downs, I will board Tuor's ship and we will sail into the West, upon the Straight Way and leave this world. Will you not come with us?'
