Thorgan lowered his sword and then sheathed it, when she stood down. She was given her bowl and bread and then she went and sat down alone. Why was she always going off alone? The only thing he could think of was it was because he was a human and not an elf. Perhaps she had no desire for a human man except to have around to fight and that was about it. He went off to one side and sat down by himself and ate his food. Or perhaps because she still considered herself to be married to the monster her husband had become. But that still did not seem to satisfy him. He sighed and went to his horse after he had finished eating and went to the stream that they had been following north. He placed a large towel down and some soap on the ground by the stream bank and stripped off his clothes and entered the water and began washing the sweat from his body.<br/><br/>Lotharn looked at Pegawen, "What is wrong with your cousin. She does not look as if she pleased or is it something eles?" He could tell she had been enjoying the sparing session, but then after she seemed to want to sit alone, and Thorgan did the same. He shook his head. The poor human was smitten but for one that probably would never look at a man be he elf or human in the way she had her husband. It was probably for the best. With his short life she would only find it harder to lose him in death, from old age or battle. He watched Thorgan head off to the stream with his towel and soap. He sighed, feeling sorry for Thorgan.<br/><br/>Thorgan washed and sat in the cold water. He heard a sound and it was not one of those he was with. It was heavy and even though it seemed to try and not make noise it did. In the reflection of the water he saw it coming from behind him, and his lips turned up into a snarl. An Orc! It had its sword raised to strike him but Thorgan was faster, He stood up and with him he moved his hands to bring water up and threw it in the Orc's direction. It hit the creature in the face and distracted him long enough for Thorgan to grab his sword and attack. That is when he saw the three others moving towards their camp. "Orcs!" he called out as he began his battle with the one infront of him.
