Handion nodded and felt his forehead. It also was a little bloody. He sighed and cursed the trolls. "I hate them." He said, sitting down by the fire and looking over at the young Elves who were resting. He smiled at them, then looked over at Dalria and Tolur and he raised an eyebrow, asking, "Have we meet?"

Dalria returned a nod towards Aling as he thanked her, but beyond the assistance she had given already, she could do no more, not weary as much as battling her pain silently. Sitting on the ground she set her sword across her knees, taking a cloth with her useable hand and carefully cleaning the blood from the black bladed sword while her right arm rested on her lap.

Tolur knelt, examining Handion’s wounded leg with a thoughtful grunt. With deft hands that seem to have practice at being quick and careful with wounds, he cleansed and bandaged the wound while he answered the man’s question with a gruff and deep voice, matching his tall height and muscled build.

“We have probably never met, yet Dalria,” at this he nodded towards Dalria, “and I have come from Gondor on the task of following a group of goblins and two trolls.” He grinned slightly at his following words while he tied the bandage securely. “It seems we have found them.”

“My name is Tolur, and my companion, as I mentioned, is Dalria. Neither of us are much for talking, more for action” Dalria glanced towards Tolur, raising a brow as he continued speaking. “Bounty hunters, of course… Since this was a group effort, we wouldn’t mind sharing the bounty if you wish?”

Handion let the man clean and bound his wound, since he was taking the liberty of doing so anyway. When he finished, he thanked Tolur, standing, to make sure the bounds held, which they did very nicely. "Then, I thank you once again, Tolur and Dalria, and my name is Handion and my companion here..." He said, pointing at Aling, "Is Aling. We were simply hunting a band of orcs when these three young Elves came to us in need to food, water, shelter, and protection. They just got done telling us there story when the action began." Handion finished, sideways glancing at Aling before he contiuned, "I wouldn't mind joining you, but I also would like to know what my partner thinks."

Aling shrugged as Handion glanced at him. "The bounty is yours to do with as you please." He said to Tolur. "Don't mistake me- I appreciate the offer, but there won't be any hard feelings either way. Besides, you were the ones tracking the goblins- we just sat there and waited for them to come to us." He grinned good-naturedly.

“I have no qualms, if you have none. You have our thanks for the assistance either way, Handion and Aling.” Tolur replied, secretly relieved he did not have to split the meager bounty further than two ways. As it was, he’d have just enough to purchase a few essential items for another hunt.

“Where are the two of you from?” Dalria suddenly asked in a rare manner of curiosity, though her pale amber gaze focused solely on the cleaning of her black bladed sword. She soon finished, however, and placed it in its sheathed, awkwardly, though, without the use of her right arm.

Handion smiled and said, "You need not share." He said simply and then said, "I was born in the Mirkwood forest, long ago."

"I was born on a small farm in Rohan." Aling said. "I took to wandering, and eventually met up with Handion here."

Handion grinned. "It was the best thing to happen to him in his life." He said jokingly. He bent down and got some lembas bread from his bag. "Would either of you like some? I have plenty!" He assured.

Tolur nodded once, accepting the offered Lembas, somewhat accustomed to it since in his many travels dealings with the elves was inevitable but agreeable. “Thank you, Handion, we are running rather low on supplies, though I can guarantee Dalria will not touch the stuff.” He smirked slightly, shrugging, but proceeded to take a small piece of the Lembas given to him, knowing one needed very little. “Perhaps the young elves would need some….? Surely they are starving.”

Dalria scowled only slightly at the offer, but a smirk crossed her features at Tolur’s words concerning her, which were indeed true. She would rather starve… the elven way bread made her ill, for a reason she cared not to mentioned, though she always declined politely with an ‘I’m not hungry’ but this time remained silent. She quietly kept to herself, one handedly binding her arm between two flat splinters of wood, using her teeth for the more difficult parts.

Handion smiled and nodded, and said, "Your welcome. And we have already given some food to them, but now, I think they are simply tired."

"I have some other food." Aling offered, finding his pack beside the fire. "The waybread is filling, but sometimes I like to eat real food." He smiled and offered some dried meats and fruit to Dalria.

Dalria allowed a slight grin to cross her features as Aling offered the dried meat and fruit. "Thank you, Aling, I believe I would like that very much. A good battle works up a heavy appetite" After tying off the splint on her arm, she accepted the offered food with her left hand, setting the items on her lap. "I appreciate this, sir."

"Oh, it's no problem." Aling said. "And by the way, there's no need for the 'sir'. Aling will do just fine." He smiled and glanced towards the three Elves. They looked to be fast asleep beside the fire.
