“Thinking about the good old days?”

Mauhúr’s question caught him by surprise, leaving Uglúk without a ready response. He indeed had been thinking about Isengard, but not with any particular fondness.

“What was good about ‘em?”

“Ate more regularly than we do now.”

Uglúk shrugged. “Not doing too badly. Still got meat left from the deer. Get a fire going and I’ll see what I can rustle up.” He titled his head quizzically. “Would you rather go back?”

“Doubt there’d be much of a reward for failure and desertion. Nah, we’re better off as we are. Besides, I like venison.”

Those two seem to be getting on okay, even if there is a bit of shortage of food occasionally!

[fredbassett]

I think they both think it's a better deal than Isengard.

Good.

[fredbassett]

Thank you!

I doubt the regular meals were very nice!

[fredbassett]

That's what they're telling themselves!
