"Yes, that's right," said Nurumaiel. "Nurumaiel Firithbor." She smiled at Rie, still unable to understand why she had wanted to meet the Elf so much.
"Was that Pio?" asked Nurumaiel.
"Yes, it was," said Rie, and then, feeling she had to tell someday, said, "She knew Earendil!"
Nurumaiel's mouth dropped open and she stared. "Well, I suppose she is an Elf, but so am I... ah well, no matter. I mean, that's wonderful, but I won't spend the time trying to understand how she knew Earendil. Do you mind if I come in?"
