A Chance Encounter on Orod-na-Thon
@tolkiengenweek For Day Seven, a late contribution for the prompt Animals.
Andreth encounters a pair of hunters who have strayed beyond the borders of their neighbouring territory. Just a chance meeting which will go completely unrecorded.
Andreth was lying on her back among the pines, gazing up at the starry sky gleaming between dark shadowy tree tops, when a huge dog suddenly licked her face. She yelped and sat up. ‘Here, what do you mean by that?’ she scolded. She had realized at once that he could not be a wolf, but she was cross that he had managed to take her by surprise when she thought she had been listening so closely to the sounds of the forest. ‘Huan was just checking you were all right,’ said the strange elf she had not heard either.

[Just in case anybody's getting worried for Andreth; she is perfectly safe.]
