In that place I have dwelt before, lady. I know my way within, as these
children do not.

And who do you call “children” here?

Yes, who?

Forgive me, lord. I did not intend to insult you. For me, they are very young.

As are even you to me, daughter of Ëarnur.

Nor are we children, think what you will.

Indeed not, or you would not be here.

That is true, Vandiel. You must forgive those who are old in years, for we
often forget how it feels being young.

Then we are decided? We will go to this tower and we will free Fiondil
