Rubin was pleased that they had managed to meet up with Orodan in so little time. He stood silently with the horses as Girion greeted Orodan.
When they started travelling again, Rubin dropped his horse to travel behind Girion's - he and Orodan were talking as they rode.
Though he greatly respected Orodan, he was already regretting the extra company since he had to keep any teasing remarks to Girion unsaid. Much of the midday heat was filtered by the trees, and for this he was glad. Hopefully they would be out of the forest before long.
