The brothers gladly accept the water but claim they are not hungry, perhaps a side effect of the enchantment. The only comment they make about the rough treatment they have received at the groups hands is a bit of light chuckling and a brief "Think no more of it" from Hamish.
They introduce themselves formerly in response to Sir Flib's introduction however. "I am Argus. And that numbskull is my little brother Hamish. We are from Crystalbrook, sent by Lady Tamora to come and fetch her son. Aye, this is a right strange place all right. Curse the day Orlando ever followed that lass in here!"
Upon learning that the group was sent on the same mission and questioned as to how the brothers arrived this far he tells their story. "We found the cave no trouble. And making our way past the big ooze we found wasn't too hard. It was in the cave with the mud cave that ... that it all went wrong. Them mud men split the party. We were five when we went in. Only two of us left... And cut off from the exit we were, so there was no heading back. We came to the waterfall, all strange like as though frozen in time. And we pushed our way through. Outside ..." His story pauses here, his face reddening with impotent rage.
"Outside" continues Hamish "We found a fairy ring. And while we were taking a look is when the Devil found us. Kalbon, he called himself. Or so he told us after he surprised us, but us all by himself. Beat us bad. The fiend took us to his witch. And the witch used her magic to twist our minds from us. Since then, until now, it has been like living in a nightmare. Hard to think about ... like a blur. But the memory ... terrifying. And that was the last thing I can really remember, until I woke a moment ago, bruised, beaten but happy as I can remember. "
