Elwen had grabbed her cloak before exiting the now crowded pub. Swinging it around herself she fastened the star brooch, her fingers nimble and quick. The night outside was cool, a gentle breeze played through Elwen's hair setting the waves and white gems flashing with Elwen's brilliant white light.

Elwen caught hold of Soronûmë's wrist as he stood on the door step of the Green Dragon. She pulled him around to face her, but his hood was up, hiding his face from her. Elwen sighed.

"What do you run from?" She questioned him gentle, her breath coming fast and shallow. Through the snatches of cloud Elwen caught sight of the moon, it always calmed her to the spirit. The wind tossed Elwen's dark hair about her face. "Do you run from me?"

Elwen tried to see his eyes but they were hidden in the shadows. Slowly Elwen released her grip on Soronûmë's wrist and began to twisted pieces of her hair around her slender fingers, dreading the answers that would come.

Elwen bowed her head her hood now covering her face and began to sing gentle to herself. "What on earth am I meant to do? In this crowded place there is only you . Was gonna leave, now I have to stay. You have taken my breath away." The wind caught Elwen's words sending them spinning around and around. "Is the world still spinin' round. I don't feel like comin' down. It's in your eyes..." Elwen's voice trailed off to nothing more than a soft rustle of the trees.

"I finally found someone who understood!" Whispered Elwen, the tears trickling down her soft cheeks, flashing silver in the light of the moon. Elwen raised her hands to cover her eyes and wipe away the tears that were now coming fast. "What have I done to upset you so? Why won't you let me help you?"
