A new journey suits me, Lady. The decisions you have to make are imperative to my placement within this "fairy realm". Judge my attributes fairly and I shall gladly lend my sword to the most worthy cause.

{He smiles and bows his head, touching the hilt of the sword sheathed at his side.}

{At the sight of her, he bows a little lower before raising his gaze. Arwen's beauty comes partially from her mother, so it doesn't take him long to understand - fully - who approaches him. Celebrian.}

I thank you for your kind words. I shall endeavor to not make you regret them.

[She can't help but laugh softly. Others bowing to her, what a concept. She'd never really thought herself quite so impressive as to deserve anything more than the polite ones she'd been given as the Lady of Imladris. Never bows so formal or low.]

I know that you will not. I do not believe you could.

{She deserves one of his lowest bows. It wouldn't do for him to make a poor impression on her. However, before long, he straightens to his full height.}

Men - even one of the Dúnedain - are capable of both good and ill. I must always be watchful.

[If her husband and daughter and sons have given their approval, how could she not? Add to that her parents. She trusts in their judgement but she would like learning a bit more about the one to be her son-in-law.]

I trust that, watchful or otherwise, I will still be difficult to disappoint.

[rangerandking]

{It occurs to him that she might not know his lineage. Taking a deep, steadying breath, he closes his eyes.}

I am Isildur's heir, my lady. His actions were one of the reasons the Dúnedain were targeted by Orcs. If it had not been for Lord Elrond's kindness, my mother and myself would not have had a home.

[Silver brows rise in surprise.]

My husband is a good man. And you as well, if he took you both in. He is more perceptive than many.

He has given me many years of laughter, joy and learning. I was never made to feel like an outsider. It wasn't until I was of age that he revealed to me my ancestry. Until then, my name was Estel.
