Eswen invited Falowik to sit with her in the shade of the Inn.

"Give Uien time Falowik. Don't wander into the wilds alone again. The meaning of that carven object may not be what it seems."

Falowik studied Esgallhugwen. Her face was pale, even for an Elf; with striking cold grey eyes. Unlike Uien, she wore the clothes of a male Elf, and they were weather stained now from her journey, no doubt back from Eryn Lasgalen. Her boots were dark knee-high boots over dark grey slacks. She wore a forest green tunic embroidered with silver knotwork. Her wrists and upper arms are bound with silver embossed leather gauntlets. She had cast her dark green cloak over her shoulders, so Falowik could see that her dark hair was flecked with silver.

It was how she had dressed on their quest into Evendim, and Falowik had gotten used to seeing her thus, but now it occurred to Falowik how different and odd was her garb compared to other Elven women he had seen; not many, of course, but Eswen was still an exception.

The meaning of the carven object may not be what it seems. Falowik huffed a sigh and frowned.

"But the Elf maiden is her," Falowik said. "See the face? The detail? What else could it mean?"

"Have you ever seen Uien's mother?" Falowik shook his head. "Is not the child much like the mother in face?"

Falowik frowned. "You are saying that Uien could be the child."

"Aye. It could be so."

"Maybe so, but what then has come over her to make her act so?"
