On apping to towerofanimus

[maidenidrial]

Vedui', Arwenamin

Though I am glad you have decided that now is the time to set me free upon this world I do hope that you have the wisdom to back up your actions. You must hasten, my lady before the chance is gone for now. I know you. If you do not succeed in 'apping' this cycle you will not have the willingness to try again.

Glad tidings to you, Lady Idrial. I am sure that Haldir will be pleased to see you.

[marchwarden]

Many greetings, Lady Idrial. It has been long since we've last met.

[maidenidrial]

[Idrial is going to bow her head slightly in greeting]

And glad tidings to you, Legolas. I will also be pleased to see Haldir. It also gladdens my heart to see you, it has been far too long since I have seen anyone of our kind. I am afraid I have been the only elf trapped inside my muns head for a while. While I do enjoy the company that she decides to keep there it is hard not to have interaction with my own kind.

[maidenidrial]

Greetings, Haldir

[She bows her head slightly before straightening up again] It has been far too long since we last crossed paths, it is good to see you. I trust that you have been well and that the light of the Lady Galadriel has shone upon you?

[keeps_count]

We will make you quite welcome in the tower. No doubt Haldir will be the first to warn you of all the dangers you may face, once you arrive.

[maidenidrial]

I have no doubts on either of those accounts. But Haldir of all should know I am capable of facing any dangers presented to me to the best of my ability. My mun however is not looking forward to these dangers.

[marchwarden]

[ He bows slightly as well. This is the first time he's seen his kin in many months. ]

The light of our Lady once shone brightly upon us both but it would seem that such a light has dimmed for me. Many days have passed since I last left the safety of our Golden Woods in the name of Elrond of Rivendell.

[ Wishing he gotten to see Lothlórien one last time before unwilling venturing out to the tower, Haldir sighs softly. ]

Honoring an alliance broken by Elf and Man alike, I was last in the heart of combat within the brittle walls of Helm's Deep.

[keeps_count]

Oh, I've no doubt that you can face more than your share of dangers but I fear that Haldir may still worry. He often worries about me more than I care for.

[He knows Haldir is watching this.]

[maidenidrial]

Of course he will worry, it has always been so. I fear it is in his nature and it's not something any of us can change. However, with a trio of well trained elves there should not be much dangers we cannot face together, am I right?

[A pause] What kind of dangers do you speak of?

[maidenidrial]

[It is always good to be reunited with one's own kind, no matter what the circumstances are.]

The battle of Helm's Deep. I can only imagine what a sight that must have been. Our Lady could not have sent anyone more worthy of the task, Haldir. I only wish I had gotten the chance to fight alongside you.

[It has been a while since she has set eyes on their beautiful woods too. She has been travelling with a number of companions throughout the land.]

I have been travelling with Berethor of Gondor and Elegost of the Dúnedain among others to the Mines of Moria... [She feels a twinge of sadness at the mention of her companions whom she hasn't seen for a while now...especially the Gondorian...]

[keeps_count]

Three well trained elves, Gandalf the White and Gimli. We will be a force to be reckoned with.

[Legolas crosses his arms, looking a bit thoughtful.] Each night, the halls of the tower are filled with monsters, making it unsafe to leave our rooms after a certain hour. Uruk-Hai are among them. The administrators are often exceedingly cruel, I bore witness to one of their competitions in which those of us that they "saved" were used to decide which of them would be victor.

And death is not permanent.

[maidenidrial]

Indeed we will. I cannot imagine much we wouldn't be able to achieve.

[Idrial listens to him intently and her brow furrows ever so slightly. It's hardly noticeable to the untrained eye but of course Legolas' eyesight is just as keen as her own.] It sounds like this place is not as welcoming as the homes that we are used to...and how long have you found yourself confined to this place?

[She repeats his words as if they will sink in better the second time around] Death is not permanent...
