Mithadan's Post:

As the time neared for departure to the North, Mithadan sought out Tuor. They spoke briefly about the rescue plan, then a silence fell between them. At length, Tuor spoke.

"Unless I am mistaken, some shadow of doom lies over you and you fear the outcome of this night. I have perceived the same shadow upon Piosenniel, though she buries it deep within herself."

Almost, Mithadan spoke to him of Ulmo's prophecy. Instead, he said, "Tuor, the responsibility of the rescue, its planning and all the lives at stake rests with Pio and myself. It would be foolish not to fear this night."

Tuor nodded dubiously after a sharp glance at Mithadan, who continued, "Forgive me if I speak not fully on these matters, for the weight of my concerns weighs heavily upon me. But if you would assist me, I beg your aid on one matter." Tuor nodded. "Tuor, I would have the Numenorean vessel which Pio and I captured brought with us to the caves. In the third or fourth spot if possible. I...hope that we will have need of it."

Tuor promised his assistance and went forth to locate a crew for the small vessel...
