She smiled as if at a child. "Ramalan brought you here. He would not have harmed you. He is old now, and had already fed that day. Eels are plentiful this year. He was only just roused from sleep. He wanders a little in his dotage." A wave of water lapped up to the doorway, almost washing into the hut. She smiled peacefully. "He is outside now. I think he will sleep again in two, three days. I must keep him closer in future. I never know what he may bring back, elf."
