The voice comes without warning but so had the burst of wind and rain. Lightning cracked the sky in twain. Thunder smashed from the clouds above churning in a sickly way. Herinýi heeds the voice without question, dashing into the cavern entrance she hadn't seen.
Just in time. The sky shatters with hail bigger than toy balls smashing and clattering off the rocky slopes. Slicking back her hood she let's out a breath, eyes glowing taking in the interior space and her savior.
"Thank you for your help." Her voice trails off taking in the creature before her- the very thing she was born and raised to kill. Jaw clenching she bites her lip.
Bruce anticipated the stranger’s sudden shock— perhaps it wasn’t everyday a Troll so freely spoke to a stranger without the intention of eating them. At least, so deemed the reputation of most Trolls. That didn’t exclude Olog-hai who, above all other Troll species, were quite literally bred for battle.
As for the stranger, Bruce couldn’t place the species. Not that he possessed such worldly knowledge— while Mordor had been rife with Orcs and Goblins, he had only met a human one year prior, and hadn’t yet encountered the fabled — and often vilified— Elves and Dwarves of Orc war stories whispered around the fire.
In the lowlight, Bruce caught the stranger’s shocked expression. Not wishing to frighten her out into the storm, the Olog made no move towards the newcomer. “Ah… don’t go runnin’ back out there,” Bruce offered, with a weak albeit toothy smile. “At least maybe not until the storm lets up for a bit.”
