Lofinnaes was sitting nearby when he heard Melcildir speak. He turned his dark head to watch the conversation, unable to help in hearing. He spoke from where he sat in answer to the lingering question.
"For your sake, and all of ours, let us hope that you do not have the gift of foresight...lest you stay with us 'til end of days."
A smile spread and he stood. He was tall and slender as elves were, he walked the short distance to the two companions. "I have been silent most of this journey, pondering what is to become of us. Though I too have felt that I shall pass into the earth before this is all over. Let us hope it is just anxiety taking hold of us...and not fate."
He patted the elf on the shoulder "Excuse me for interrupting."
