It was morning. Eodwine led Deren and the others toward Meduseld, where those who would search for Linduial were gathering. He thought about his exchange the previous night with Marenil.

"It shall be so, Marenil," Eodwine had answered, and thusly Marenil had become his second steward for the time being. The old man had thanked him with a bow, and betraying how deeply moved he was over Lin's absence, he wiped at his eye with his thin hand, and had left the room.

Eodwine had offered for Thornden to come with, as Marenil had offered to stand in his stead while they hunted for Linduial, and Thornden had been eager.

So it was that they marched to Meduseld, where they were met by Haleth's men. He also thought about Saeryn and the words they had exchanged even later last night. He still felt her hands in his, and remembered his words to her, that they might help each other find those they had lost. In the bright light of morning, such imaginations seemed like dreams. There was a job to do.

They approached Meduseld. Eodwine was surprised at the number of men that had accepted the call to find Lothiriel's cousin.
