The Road Forward (IC-02)
Kharrum is a companionable fellow on the journey south, offering use of Sindri - his pony - for both their wounded companion and for the transport of Galen's bound corpse. He sings a little as he walks, puffing away at his pipe and telling little stories of other journeys by the campfire in the evening. He knows a few tales of far-off places, a scattering of songs of the common folk of the cultures he has visited, and is keen to learn more: "You can measure a folk by those things they sing off", he comments, more than once
He is companionable, but young, by dwarvish measure: confident in his skills, but still finding out his own boundaries, as his crossing of the Ford perhaps showed. He knows, at least, some of those talents he does not possess, leaving the hunting for others, though he picks up a trail here and there, and preparing the camp and the fire rather than the food, unless it is trail food or tough meat.
Passing into Rohan, and coming in sight of one of the camps of the Rohirrim, his words are thoughtful, "Are these folk kin of yours, Berthold? Or known to you? I know a little of the elvish tongues, and that of the halflings and the beornings, but none of these horse folk"
