Thiliel was very surprised at Sereth's reaction to Elanor's name. She was brought up to avoid naming the Dark Lord and his land, after the customs of parents and grandparents. She understood that. But a perian? Why does this name bring such worry to Sereth's face?

Judging by how fast Sereth ran outside to Celebrindal's wagon, something has gone seriously wrong. Thiliel followed her - though much more slowly - to see what was causing so much trouble that a girl has to go hungry.

She was half way there when she heard Sereth's voice, unnervingly shrill, coming from Celebrindal's wagon. Thiliel ran the rest of the way. She came in time to hear the foreign man, who she recognized as one of the quarrelers from the day before, say "Who is she, and what does she have to do with the King?"

Thiliel rushed in without knocking, forgetting that it is disrespectful. "What happened? Why?..." She cut herself off, noticing that the two adults, who were previously staring at Sereth, were now staring at her.
