Pio pulled the man out of his reverie with her reminder.

'It is almost the hour set by Idril for the welcoming dinner. We should get dressed now and go down to it. It would not be politic for us if you sit here in the dark brooding over plans and do not attend.' She looked to see that he had heard her.

'I am going to get changed now. I'll see you there directly.' she said, as she left his room.

She threw on the dress that Idril had lent her, and gave a passing glance to her hair as she settled the silver fillet on her brow. 'One last night of brief happiness,' she said to her reflection in the mirror, 'before death walks out to welcome us.'

Gathering a length of her long skirt over one arm to give her legs some freedom, she ran down to her mother's room to see if she was ready.
