The two ogres, upon seeing the boy, stopped walking. Not out of fear, but to observe the situation.
After eyeing him up and down, Crug asked, "Think he's da one who hur' Ripfang, Mug?" His loud voice was serious but sad. It echoed through the woods.
Mug, looking at Crug, replied, "I dou' it, Crug. He dun look tha' strong." Then he laughed and patted Crug on the back. The pat made a resounding noise and it was clear that it would've whacked any normal person out of the way.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, was slowly starting to wake up. The loud sounds hadn't helped her beauty sleep, nor had Thrivaok kicking her. But what really got her to sit up straight was that god awful smell. Turning around, she saw her bodyguard in a protective position. Peeking her head out from behind him, she spotted the two giant, ugly, smelly ogres and did what Elizabeth did best: screamed. This scream was somehow louder than the one she had let out when discovering the centipede on her. After all, not only were ogres disgusting and smelly and possibly the grossest humanoid creatures out there, they also could squash her as if it were nothing. And then eat her—raw. Or so she had heard, at least.
So the high pitched scream also echoed through the forest and Elizabeth hugged herself. Then, remembering that there was a sword beside her, she quickly leaned over and grabbed it, now hugging the sword. She didn't stand up, in hopes that the ogres wouldn't notice her. How that logically made sense ofter that scream of hers is unknown, but Elizabeth's mind is a bit strange. She looked up at Thrivaok's back, and hoped that he was strong enough to defend against those horrible beings in front of them. Even with that injury of his.
Normally, she might have gone for Snow and took off. Unluckily for her, the horse was between Thrivaok and the ogres. And while she might be awake, Snow was as frozen as a statue. Partially because she was scared out of her horse mind, and partially because she was hoping (like Elizabeth) that the ogres wouldn't notice her if she stayed still.
