Cole listened to everyone in the tavern talk. He had just started to rest when suddenly an elf walked into the tavern. Tall, slim, blond hair, ears and all. What he wanted nobody knew except for Cole.
" I thought that you would be here. Everyone is ready to leave." Then he brought his voice to but a scarce whisper. "Did you tell the king about........."Cole shook his head."I forgot my friend I am truly sorry but why not ask me to go outside to talk about this? Susan my friend I will be but a moment."
Cole and his elf friend walked out of the tavern. As the door opened the rest of Cole's travelling companions stood by the door waiting for Cole to come out.
For about 15 to 20 minutes arguing could be heard from outside. As were the voices of a few dwarves and elves along with Cole's.
but one clear and few words that was heard were never forgotten.

No, we cannot tell the people of this tavern that an enemy is on it's way here. Let the King tell them.

Cole was furious.
"What is that it!? Are we all just going to stand idly by will Rohan is destroyed? Well maybe you can but I cannot I am going to tell the king and I am also going to stay to fight. You should all go on without me. We'll meet in Gondor after the battle ends."
Cole walked back in to see everyone staring at him. He shouldn't have came here and he knew it. If only he'd have kept his voice down.
