Gravlox sat with his back against a tree keeping a careful eye on Merisu's companions. Her assurances were all well and fine, but he had no intention of assuming that the members of the Itship would so easily set aside ages of racial hatred. Even were that not so, Earnur was stone drunk often enough that Gravlox had no intention of trusting that the warrior would remember the Orc was not an enemy.

"Now this is an odd turn of events, isn't it?" asked the Entish foot. "The mighty Gravlox gone over to the side of the Elves and all."

Normally Gravlox ignored his verbose prosthesis, but he was in a thoughtful mood and was trying to adapt himself to the kinder, gentler ways of his new companions. "One might say that the manner in which things have played out would not reasonably have been subject to prediction," Gravlox answered tolerantly.

"And me reunited with the bow and the foozle," continued the foot. "Imagine that! I thought that I'd never see myself again after..." The Entish foot, to Gravlox's surprise, shuddered. His eyes narrowed. "After what?" asked the Uruk.

"Oh! It was horrible," cried the foot. "I was hemmed in by evil Men, Trolls and Orcs bearing torches. Then SHE came. She wielded a 20 horsepower chainsaw from the magical land of Sears and... I can't say! It was too horrible!"

Good , thought Gravlox. "Who is 'She'," wondered the Orc.

"She," answered the foot.

"Her name is what?" asked Gravlox.

"Not what, She!" responded the foot.

Gravlox rolled his eyes and gave up. Then a thought occurred to him. "You know," he began, "We've been together for some time now and I don't even know your name."

The foot literally vibrated with pleasure. "In my language, I am known as Marileangorifurnimaluimestelamdir-abalonechevroletimontecarloednorton-stanmakitasigourneyweaverchimichanga-yuchiangbeeflobsterrollfriedbanana...OUCH!"

Too much information... thought Gravlox as he picked up a second rock to hurl at the foot in the event it resumed its recitation of its name.
