Curufin grinned again. "I'm knot what?" He started to wrap the vine he was holding around his hand, knotting it and then pulling his hand out, so that he had a convenient handhold if he should need it.

"Yes! I'll happily work together with you, since that way we can multiply our powers and skills."

As the two creatures dropped down on the pirate, Curufin grabbed the vine and prepared to swing from his own tree to the pirate's tree. But then the pirate took care of the problem himself, so Curufin stayed where he was for the moment.

"Nice move! You certainly divided those creatures with mathematical precision."
