When Taurewen ran for the troll, Reynion's heart seemed to stop beating for an instant and he pulled her back before she got herself killed before his eyes. As the two of them and the other elves fell back from the melee, she turned on him.

"...At least I would died trying, not running like a coward letting this...this monster tear down our home!"

Reynion refused to show how much Taurewen's words had hurt him. He wasn't a coward, he wasn't! He was just being prudent. That was all...wasn't it? Oh, stop it! This is NOT a time to let your emotions run away with you. he ordered himself, as he refocused his attention on what was going on. Ceros looked at him measuringly, as if trying to determine if he was still up to battle after that swim and the orc-fight, then he started giving orders.

"Ainemetion! Arie! Flank right, Gilbereth! Eruwen! flank left. Reynion, do you and Taurëwen think you can get behind it?"

Reynion nodded, determined to do his part. He was no coward. And so he and Taurewen ran stealthily to get behind the troll. As they ran, he was warmed to hear her whisper, "I'm sorry." Those two words did a great deal to lift his heart, even if they were about to die.

"I know," he replied, and that was all they had time for.
