"Lasgalen is the name of the forest. Songmaster is songmaster of the forest. But his name is Celeblin, Silver-song."

"That's a nice name. Silver-song, " Avery replied.

"It is also fitting. I have never heard anyone who can sing like him."

"And he sent you here?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"He heard that there was trouble with the trees deep in the forest, and he convinced the Master Rope-Maker to let me come here."

"So that's who you work for? The Master Rope-Maker?"

"Well, " LinGalad said modestly, "Only during the daytime."

Avery shot him a very puzzled glance, and Ajada smirked, and Endereth glowered at Ajada and said, "Don't jump to conclusions. LinGalad, who do you work for at night?"

"I work for the Songmaster at need. He sends me out whenever someone requests a song that I know. Otherwise, he oversees my studies."

"Don't you ever sleep?" Avery asked.

"Sometimes, " LinGalad replied.

"In other words, " surmised Endereth, "you're not such a bad singer yourself."

LinGalad shot her a grateful look, and a gentle, modest bow. "I am only beginning to learn."

Endereth nodded. "We'll put you through your paces when we get a good chance."

She certainly knows how to put him at ease, Avery thought. "So what do you think of Isengard?"

"Stony, " LinGalad said. "It needs more trees. Do you like it here? And have you always dwelt here?"
