‘Where are you off to tomorrow, Feanaro?’ With Nerdanel, Indis meant.
Feanor gave her a slightly wary look.
‘We thought we would go to the Blue Fountain and head north-west from there.’
‘Ah,’ said Indis, ‘I went that way once.’
She cast about her for something to write on, took the dinner menu, turned it over and drew a rough map on the back, clearly marking good resting places that offered water fit to drink.
‘See? Here is how far I went. If you go farther, let me know what you find, will you?’
‘Thank you, I will,’ said Feanor.
A/N: Indis's wanderings are mentioned in the History of Middle-earth, although it is not clear how far she went. ETA: I managed to omit the first line in cross-posting, but clearly it was comprehensible anyway!
