***Shire/Rivendell/Blue Mountains***
Odo and Brando squealed slightly as the boat toppled over into the water. Elladan reached to grab them and swung the boat back over, before too much damage was done to either boat or hobbit.
The boats continued to float on in the shadowy darkness, but from the look on the hobbits faces Elladan could tell they were trading places the second they landed.
Indeed, when they landed, Elladan observed them going over to Serin and Orlo, and heard Serin's deep chuckle. The hobbits talked persuasively for a few moments, until he heard Serin murmur in assent. The hobbits ran back to him.
Serin laughed as he watched the hobbits run off. He had not been able to resist a slight chuckle when he watched the hobbits tipping over into the water, and their frightened squeals. He himself felt slightly cautious about being in a boat with Elladan, but perhaps the elf had learned a few things about rowing at this point.
The sky began to lighten, and once more they set off. It was still at least a day's journey to Minas Anor, and they must arrive soon.
