Orual has just left Hobbiton.

Rie and Talômi sat in front of the fire, talking about the experiences they had had while apart. Talômi had to concede that Rie's had been the more interesting, though his own had not always been boring.

He smiled at his sister, who was now curled up and resting her head on his lap. Her hair was fanned out, and she was talking softly, though seemingly without pausing to breathe. He responded to her questions, and gave his own descriptions of his adventures, but he was hardly paying any attention. He was finally back with Rie.

Suddenly her eyes snapped wide open, and she leaped away from him towards the door. A man with dark hair had just entered. Talômi did not recognize him, but obviously Rie did.

Forgetting that she had been having a conversation with her long-lost brother, Rie flung herself at her old friend. "Erulon!" she said, embracing him tightly. He seemed startled, at first, but then he recognized her. "Where have you been? You were gone so long. Talômi, get over here! This is Eruantalon. You can call him Erulon. He can, can't he, Erulon? This is my brother, Talômi." She took a breath, and smiled brightly. "I missed you. Could you tell?"
