Glaedr had told Eragon someone was here but had neglected to tell him who. Now that he was closer Eragon could feel the mind of Dromaeus amongst the trees he had just arrived at. He sat down next to a pool of water and took out an apple to eat while listening to the trees. Trees didn't have a mind in a similair sense as other life, they just had sentience which seemed to react slowly to everything. Eragon found the sound calming, which he needed in his time of loneliness and dread.
