Rudhchamion and Khelek both heard Anarya's shout, and the startled beast clambered away quickly enough. They both ran flat out back to where they had left the maidens. Bursting through the trees, the point of one of Anarya's arrows greeted them.

'Rudhchamion!' Anarya cried gratefully, lowering her bow. 'I thought you and Khelek were some beast.'

'There really was a beast, but it is gone now,' Khelek replied, tail swaying slightly. 'A bug-eater.'

'A bug-eater?!' Anarya echoed skeptically.

'A bug-eater?' Taralphiel asked, confused. 'How do you know it's a bug-eater?'

'Because Khelek told me.'

Taralphiel looked at the young wolf, who was now curling up on the spot. 'Khelek told you it was a bug-eater?'

'It is called osanwe, a form of talking between those with strong minds,' Rudhchamion explained. 'Many travellers and Dark Elves have the ability to communicate with animals in this way.'

'Nice way of putting it short and simple for a Mortal,' Khelek scoffed, grooming himself.

'You have big words for a pup,' Rudhchamion retorted.

'And you have big tempers for an Elf,' Khelek teased back, now looking at Rudhchamion.

'Would we rather be caught arguing by a spy of the Enemy, or would we rather be going to Dol Goldur?' Anarya interrupted. There was silence from both sides. 'Good. See you in the morning.'
