The offer was a protective one, indeed, but Saeril knew better not to baby her godsons all the time. After all, she only saw them when they were young dwarrows. Plus, their mother Dis was there to see to them, if she couldn't. But she didn't take offense at their respectful decline. "Very well", and with that, she led them into the dark and dense woodland. She didn't feel the strong enchanting air begin to slowly take effect on herself, but she kept a close eye on her comrades. The trees were covering the sky, and the thickness of their stems cover all ways for escape. Only the path can lead them to the end.

They make their turn as they carried on till almost nightfall. [i]"Thorin... Oakensheild... King... Closer... Thorin....
