Uien blinked and sighed. She looked about her. The wet rag lay limp and crushed in her hand. Gorby and Anson watched her with wide eyes, full of worry. She smiled briefly.

"They have saved Eodwine, and the Master is no more."

Their jaws dropped, then they grinned, got up, and did a little Hobbit jig arm in arm before sitting down. Anson was first to speak.

"Then why are you yet sad, Uien? Is Falowik dead?"

She smiled again. "No. Falowik has survived. All but one have survived. Lira is dead." With mention of her name, tears flowed again from Uien's eyes. "I am sorry." Uien reached out and smoothed the hair on both the Hobbits' heads, for they were wiping their eyes. Lira had been their special friend, and it was only right that they should mourn.
