The sun rose over Wethril making the town look lighter and if possible more welcoming than it did at night. Legolas looked out of the window as two men picked up the body of the dead man and carried it away.
"I just don't understand it," he said as he stared out of the window.
"Understand what?" Gimli asked.
"This, this blindness. Kaimelar just killed someone! All they do is pick up the body and bury him! Why don't they do something?"
Aragorn looked up from where he was sitting.
"Maybe they can't do anything?"
"Or maybe they can but are too afraid to", Gimli suggested.
Legolas stood up.
"I am going to go and explore this town, have a look around."
"I'm coming then I want to find out more about this town."
Aragorn nodded.
"I'll stay here, if you two find any news at all come back here."
The Elf and the Dwarf stepped out of the tavern and into the street some people were walking around but apart from that the streets were deserted.
"This place is still shadowy in the daytime!" Legolas murmured as they walked along the street.
"It is true to its name."
The two friends walked along in silence for a while.
"Meow."
Legolas looked down and saw that a grey tabby cat was rubbing itself against his legs. He bend down stroked it.
"I wonder where you came from?"
"Probably a stray," Gimli muttered as the cat continued to rub itself against Legolas's legs.
Legolas shrugged and the friends carried on walking.
"Meow."
The cat ran in front of Legolas causing him to stop.
"There is something seriously wrong with that cat," Gimli told his friend.
"I think it just wants attention. It's probably lonely."
"Lonely? Legolas it is a cat!"
Legolas picked up the cat and it purred happily.
"Maybe it just wants to be left alone," Gimli suggested.
Legolas sighed.
"Or maybe it wants us to follow it."
