[twinkle]

twinkle, having been lost in the depths of mirkwood, gave a great start as an arrow plunked into the tree right next to her...
attached was a missive from mithadan, who in his great foresight must have known the addlebrained twinkle would lose her way to the party....
clutching the little invitation with its diminutive map, she sets out once again to find her way to the partygrounds....
finally arriving out of breath, her pretty red dress all in shambles from digging through mirkwood's underbrush, she hides behind one of the pavillions to get her appearance back in order....
straightening out what's left of her dress and pulling her hair into pigtails (they suit the party mood best anyway), she hurriedly rushes round the side of the pavillion only to bump headlong into the barrow-wight...toppling them both to the ground..."ooooops, not the greeting i had in mind BW, sorry to be such a klutz!" [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ...
but as she is already in prime position twinkle gives him a sweet peck on the cheek and wishes him a very happy birthday....
scrambling back up she offers the barrow-wight a hand to haul him off the ground and fervently hopes he wont annihilate her for the undignified assault...
twinkle then turns tail and runs, only to return in the blink of an eye with a brimming mug of ale and a string of embarrassed apologies...maybe the best way to appease the great one.....
once the barrow-wight is busy with his drink, twinkle makes good her escape....only to bump right into the next innocent bystander...the effect this time being that she bounces right off the human wall that is Mithadan, landing on her derriere....
ouch, ouch, ouch....that hurt....
so there she sits redfaced, in a tangle of skirts, peering up at Mith with a lopsided and once again apologetic smile....
it seems the court jester has arrived [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
and here she had tried so hard to show off her more ladylike side today....
Mith however, true gentleman that he is, helps her to her feet and seats her on a nearby bench... "let me fetch you a glass of wine my dear" he says and turns to head in the direction of the bar, only now breaking into loud guffaws....
so twinkle sits on her little bench, rubbing her bruised posterior and takes her first real look around...
she spots Estelyn from afar, Sindacuion is also here....and she catches a fleeting glimpse of Kate as she moves amongst the throng of people....
'i'll just rest here for a moment and catch my breath, at least it's still fairly early and i'll be sure to greet all my wonderful friends as soon as i get some semblance of bearings back.' [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
