Menelduliniel took in a breath and stood up quickly, drawing her daggers. She saw Eselarion come running, notching an arrow to his bow.
"What is it?" she said.
"Did you not hear? Can you not see?" Estelarion said, "Orcs."
Menelduliniel shot a look at Poppy.
"I am staying with her," she said, "I was told to keep my eye on her, and I plan to."
"You will have to move," Estelarion said, "They will come. You cannot fight by yourself."
"I promised Gandalf and, well, he trusts me," she said, "No one else does."
Estelarion looked around and sighed.
"Okay, fine. I will stay with you."
The two stood over the poor, defenseless Poppy.
"If we get hurt, promise to find safety," Menelduliniel said over her shoulder to the Hobbit.
"Erm...o-okay," Poppy said.
Estelarion shot the Orcs as they approached, and Menelduliniel stood ready with her daggers...
