King Elk Forest good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter

it is not a long journey from the morass back to tindómë's borders but it is long enough that every passing moment makes delight's anxiety about the situation increase. once they are out of the darkness it is easier to see the extend of cicero's injuries -- like, what the hell happened to the guy? he doesn't press for details as they walk, figuring it might be hard for him to talk and travel.

they finally make it back more or less in one piece, only for cicero to immediately lie down. oh that's not very good. the morwinyon gives a quick call for @Anatha, though he suspects the healer won't be able to do much for him now -- to cicero he says, "do you want me to take you to wear burke is buried..?" unsure, exactly, what else he can do for the poor dude in the moment. he looks at the two boys, wondering what strange thing he's gotten himself in to.
