Saved filled.

Distracted by her conversation with Khamir, Shae ended her introduction rather openly, so the Fellowship may say whatever they like to the ex-slaves, or vice versa.

What exactly is it that's making the ex-slaves murmur in anger just now? What have the fellowship said or done? I have the assumption that it's not really serious because they haven't done anything wrong. Kwell doesn't put up with stupidity very well and I think this next post may be interesting, but I need to know just what's causing this unhappy reaction.

I think it's simply the unexpected arrival of the Fellowship. Some may welcome help, but there are others who will not like the idea of strangers coming in and taking over the situation.

Tevildo has just left Hobbiton.
I don't think it's strange that the slaves would be split and divided about a group like this appearing out of nowhere. Who knows if all of them even knew about Khamir's original letter? That was months ago anyways so they probably forgot it. But it also seems logical that a young person like Kwell would be impatient with the slaves for not jumping on a good thing.

I've put up a save. Folwren -- I'll see how your post goes and take the lead from you, what ever that is. If needed, Dorran can try to "mend fences" since he has the advantage of being older than Kwell and also has seen things from both side of the fence, both as a slave and member of the fellowship. I'll wait till you post to do mine.

Save filled.

Tevildo, take it away. I gave you a lead in, and it actually works wonderful because I don't know how I would have ended my post otherwise. And you can ignore the PM I sent. I sent it while you were online, but you must've missed it before you left.

Well, I'm running. Please do tell me if I need to change anything, anyone. I was unsure of it.

Tevildo: I hope you could hold your horses just for a while. I've planned a post and would like you to read it first before you continue. If that is not possible, we can surely change the ending of my post then. But otherwise you should put your post after mine as Hadith addresses Kwell and his words in it (and I don't know as yet what Dorran would be saying).

Mine will be posted in a hour or two at most from now...

My post done.

I have tried to fill in the gap between the discussions on the ex-slaves camp and the arrival of the fellowship.

I hope everything is okay with you. I have used both Khamir and Brenna to a degree, so let me know if there is something not right there. I'll change those parts immediately.

And really Tevildo, sorry, but as you had just a save there and didn't fill it, I thought it was okay by the rules that those having saves must oblige to things happening in the thread (I will not have a chance to write anything over wed -fri as I'm going to have a minor operation in a hospital and so thought of writing this one now as I had time to do it).

I hope you agree with my overall explanation why the ex-slaves were such reluctant to get aid (they had the first time created an "us" feeling and the strangers are going to break it)...
