Staying by Legolas' side; her hand almost glued in his. She silently hoped he at some point would say something. This silence from him...it was heart-breaking to say the least. It made her worry. Feeling him kiss the back of her hand, her thumb gently brushed across his knuckles. But she listened to Gandalf talk about the creature that was following them..."....He wants the ring..." Yavanna breathed out softly. Knowing a little about Gollum, and the ring was in his possession before Bilbo found it-and what it had done to him.

"He escaped?" Frodo asked...a little unsure. As last anyone heard, that Gollum was captured and getting tortured, for information on the ring.

As they all waited for Gandalf to make up his mind on their route. The Hobbits were sitting down on few of the rocks around. Listening to the conversation between Yavanna and Gandalf...but Pippin glanced backwards to where Yavanna had spotted Gollum...the pair of eyes glowing in the darkness...but always dissapearing every now and again.

In Kili's mind. The Delva he thought he knew-wouldn't have lied..and wouldn't have done those things. Yet she was capable of such darkness. Which is what had left him confused...and still a little unsure, if she was still the same person he knew. But she was a victim...that much was true. And in some ways...she was the Delva he knew...in orders, she wasn't. But Kili did miss her. It would just probably take him a while to accept, that she had a darkness to her that should be feared. As they hugged, he was silent.
