* Confronted by the Nazgūl's dread greeting, the Cloaked Guest maintained a steady gaze. He drew back his cloak enough to reveal the same Elven sword which earlier had leapt like a blue lightning bolt to pierce the foe now standing before him. *
If you fear this blade, do but tell me, and I shall relinquish it to the safekeeping of the family of the Eldest, Master of the Old Forest.
* Gandalf then turned, calling Midnight gently by name. *
You are free to stay or go as you wish, Midnight. If you return to the field where other mounts await their masters, I shall bring you a picnic supper presently.
* At that moment, Gandalf heard a voice from home hail him. *
Lassiėl! Well met, handmaiden of Yavanna. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] You honor this party, to leave the Uttermost West willingly, in order to attend.
* Gandalf bowed low. *
As for how I fare, the answer must be "by the way," as I am a wayfarer ...
