Thorondruin had raised his head sleepily when Dinenliel sat down. He frowned a little, thinking Now, where'd that innman go?
He heard Dineniel's explanation for her absence, but was too sleepy and too drunk to figure how her story fit into his memories of the fight. Abruptly he stood (a little too fast; he fell back into his chair and tried again more carefully) and announced he was going to bed. Ozracles laughed and warned him to stay out of Himelilek's room. Thorondruin shrugged and walked away.
