The sun had set in the far west and Jecht leaned his back up against a tree. The fire burned nicely and the night air was just cool enough. Thengise sat next to him and Jecht placed his arm around her as she rested her head on his shoulder. Coming back toward Lorien was doing him good, he thought. He had been away from it for too long. He glanced over at Collette, that crazy halfling compainion of his and he smirked. He then looked at Thengise. Her green eyes were hidden behind her closed eye lids and he could hear her breathing softly. A bird called out in the distance, but other than that the only other sound was of the fire crackling. Then Jecht heard light voices behind and above him, in the tree. The voices were fair and didn't sound threatening. Jecht listened silently. The voices were speaking in elvish. And they appeared to be discussing the people below them, which was Thengise, Jecht and Collette.
Voice1-Who are they? What are they doing here?
Voice2-Open your eyes and use them once and awhile, Faerer! I recognise one I think, but I haven't seen him in ages.
Faerer-Well, I don't recognise any of the lot, Valrue, won't you enlighten me?
then Valrue noticed that Jecht was still awake
Valrue-SSSSHHHH...come we must tell the Lady.
Jecht heard the slightest rustle of leaves and branches and then he knew they were gone. So much for surprise, he thought.
