Eleniel spent her time mingling with the guest. She had to repeat the line ‘Hello I’m Eleniel of Dol Amroth but you can me Elen” and then she smiled politely. Same old same old. Every once and a while she got in to a polite chitchat with some of the ladies. The conversations were mostly about Finduilas. Averyll and Elen politely excused themselves from a young woman and headed over to where Finduilas stood crowed by many ladies of Minas Tirth. They all seemed nice and polite but Eleniel guessed that most of them were just acting. Even though everyone seemed sweet something didn’t seem just right. As they headed over to Finduilas Elen could feel the penetrating stares of the young woman judging them, waiting for a flaw to show. It didn’t seem like this court welcomed strangers as much as Eleniel wished they would.
Vieana and Lessawen soon joined Averyll and Eleniel. Vieana said something about asking Finduilas about how she liked it here and Elen thought that would be a good idea.
"I like it here," volunteered Elen. "Of course, Dol Amroth will always be home, but this looks like a wonderful place... it's so big. And busy. She can't possibly get bored here." It was of course never going to take Dol Amroth’s place but there was something so wonderful about the great stone city. The other girls agreed and they decide that it was time to pay Finduilas a visit. They headed in her direction were she was once again surrounded by woman. They weaseled their way into the group until they stood right next to Finduilas.
“Hello I’m Finduilas of Dol Amroth. It is a pleasure to meet you” she said greeting a young woman. Tessa stood next to her smiling. She looked wonderful to, but it seemed that Finduilas overshadowed her. The girls greeted the girls standing next to Finduilas with a polite smile, before turning toward Finduilas and Tessa grinning.
