It was Idril, with her far-seeing Elven eyes, who first saw the proud and fair banner of Eärendil the Mariner as it first appeared over the horizon.
"My baby!!!!" screeched Idril, as she ran to the railing of the ship, and started waving frantically. "Yoo-Hoo! Eärey! Mommy's here!" The proud Elven woman bounced up and down in excitement. "Isn't he just the handsomest thing! Of course, he doesn't return my calls as often as I'd like. But I realize he's busy, what with being master of an ENTIRE fleet. "And ladies...he's single!"
The various Elven maidens on board shuffled their feet in embarrassment, or quickly check their breath behind their hands, while Birdie and the hobbits snickrered and and nudged each other in the ribs. Across the wave came a far-off cry"
"Awww, Ma!!"
(O.C.C. - OK, I realize that Idril wouldn't do this, but I couldn't resist. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] Carry on.)
