Throndruin rode his horse brusquely between Carathon and Hithduiniel, to separate them. "No talking!" He shouted as he rode past.
Hithduiniel followed him to the front of the group. "What do you mean, 'no talking'? I can talk if I want!" She said with Elvish ire.
Thorondruin threw back his head and laughed. He said, "Not when I'm in charge! Right now, you do what I say, and that's ride!"
Ozracles rode up behind the girl and grabbed her reins. "Want me to teach her a lesson? There's some trees over there. It'll be nice and private."
He started to lead the Hithduiniel's horse in that direction, but let go with a sigh when Thorondruin said, "No, Ox, there's no time. Right now, we ride!" He spurred his horse to a full gallop and the others followed, some with less enthusiasm than others.
Sorry for my long mental absence (that is, for not posting)
