Upon awakening, Elil noticed she's leaning against Strider's legs, but she now has a blanket covering her. She hands it back to Strider and without a word leaves the room. She orders food for herself and Strider, taking it to him. They quickly ate in silence, and Elil took the plates back to Butterbur.
Elil then takes to the streets, finding food that's easy to store, as well as more weed, water and some ale. As she walks past the armoury, Elil finds a beautiful sword on the wall.
She takes the sword from the wall and balances it as well as trying a couple of stances and manoeuvres. Enjoying the feeling of it, she clears her throat to get the attention of the owner, who appears from the back.
"I will need four small swords. Sharp. Well balanced. The size for them should be about this big. I will also need a dagger and arrows. I am also purchasing this sword."
The man looks shocked but then recognises her clothing. He quickly does as Elil asks and retrieves the items in question.
Returning to The Prancing Pony, Elil finds Strider. He is standing in the stables, looking over Alagos and Sylvia. Without a word, Elil hands Strider the dagger she purchased. In return, he gives her a bow. They nod before strapping their things to their horses and leaving.
They walk out of Bree, leading their steeds. Outside of the village, the rangers mount the animals and start trotting. After the horses start moving, they start competing, and soon they're galloping at full speed.
