FROM THE GREENWAY
Dear Arwing,
We are now nearly a week out of Evendim. Boromir has been watching the map and says we will soon cross the Greyfold.
We travel hard. We have been going at a gallop much of the time. It is difficult to keep up with the others, for my dear Hwesta is not used to such exercise.
King Elessar rides in the lead. He seems not to tire, and only reluctantly halts after sunset to make camp for the night. I think he does not sleep much. His face is grey and set. In his eyes there is kindled not a fear, but an anxiousness. He is so introverted. Sometimes I wonder if he forgets we are with him, for he speaks only if addressed.
I received your letter, though neither it nor I passed through Eregion. I know not with whom you originally sent it, for when I was given it an elf with much spirit and little knowledge of where he was going carried it.
All this traveling is no fun. I will be so relieved to be back in Ithilien.
I do not know if your father spoke to Huinlas. Because if he did, I wouldn't know about it.
Huinlas is so different now. He seems older and younger at the same time. He never wears the questioning look, although I see something similar to it in the king's expression. I have yet to talk to Huinlas of his trip to Mirkwood. Somehow he seems unapproachable.
I apologize for the brevity of this letter. I am tired and we are allowed little time to sleep.

PS Write next to Edoras, I suppose. You could try Helm's Deep as well.
