Galadria says no, but she can sleep outside the cavern mouth. Viconia is uneasy about this, and she watches the child as she pretends to sleep. She sees the child rise up stealthily as the attention of the sentry is elsewhere, and watches as she sneaks over to her bedroll and reaches for her knapsack. Suddenly she jumps up with weapon in hand)

Galadrias" A yochol!" (Casts Improved Alarcrity)
