Shade stayed just on the outside of the firelight. The journey was still long and they hadn't covered nearly as much ground as they should have. He watched the two hobbits get ready for bed, the two elves talking silently by the fire. Shade rested his back against a tree and looked toward the main road, barely seen through the trees. They would be safe for awhile then a dark hand appeared from behind the tree dragging Shade around the other side. Shade found himself facing a very dark skinned man. Typical clothing of a messenger though it was very dark clothing like Shade's, he was muscular with tight corn rows running through his hair. The man struck his chest with his right hand and then stuck out his hand to shake Shade's. Shade did the same and shook the man's hand. They appeared to know each other.
Shade-What news, Jakeem?
Jakeem-Sir, they begining to grow stronger, our men can't keep them away for much longer! We need you leading the charge against--
Shade-Lower your voice, I travel not alone...
Jakeem-Sorry sir, but
Jakeem didn't finish his thought as a twig snap behind them announced the arrival of visitors...
OoC: That can be for any one...
