Morning rose lazily the next day, and Thengise had meant to wake Collette, but at the moment was amusing herself by watching the hobbit mumble the names of different foods into her cloak-pillow.
Jecht finally nudged her awake and laughed. They were sitting eating and (for collette) grumpily chattering and complaining when from out of nowhere, elves surrounded the group with many weapons. Instinctively, Collette flashed her dagger from its sheath and leaped in front of her friends (which are four feet taller than her- as if it wold help).
Two of them clucked in elvish and pointed at Jecht and Collette who had slipped her cloak about her earlier, as well as the hood, and they thought they were seeing Peregrin Took.
