Elwen looked up and smiled at the stranger standing before her. She thought she remembered him from somewhere on her travels but the thought was soon swept away.

"Of course you may join us." Elwen laughed. "The Lady Nostawen and I do not mind the company."

The man bowed and took the seat that Erulon had occupied a little while earlier. He removed his hood and a small smile lit up his face. Elwen turned to the Lady Nostawen, who nodded and returned the smile.

"Well then friend, tell me of yourself. what is your name?"

Elwen played with the silver bow in her lap and ajusted her tunic of midnight blue. She half wished that Erulon would return but he had gone with the dwarf to seek someone and probably wouldn't be back for a while. The ring upon her finger flashed as Elwen flicked her hair behind her shoulders and listened to the stranger seated with them.
