[Nerindel]

“You’ve had a long journey from Rivendell…What brings you to the Shire?”

"yes, indeed it was long," he said smiling at Estella who was sitting patiently waiting for him to speak. " Myself and my twin sister have come from Rivendell bringing a shipment of Miruvor to the inn, it is a gift from the Lords of Rivendell to the Lady Piosenniel to celebrate the birth of her new born twins." He took another sip of his wine before continuing "My sister is to stay and be a representative of our people at the naming ceremony of the twins, But I myself am here for other reasons."

Lóthaniels gaze shifted to were Fawain was seated her long dark hair held back by an emerald clip that he had once given her, as he looked at her fair slightly tanned features he could see the worry of the burden he had laid apon her. His usually sparkling eyes were full of guilt and worry of his own and his smile faded away, with a heavy heart and a sigh he turned back to Estella and continued his tale.

"I came here to tell my very dear friend Fawain Isilmeleo a ranger from Ithilien, that I knew of her father and had kept it from her per his wishes, Do not think badly of him he had many enemies and wished only to keep his family safe. But I also had to tell her that the same Orc that had killed her mother now held her father." Lóthaniel sighed again " and tomorrow we must leave to meet up with the Rangers of Annúminas to attempt to rescue him, for not only is he her father he is also a captain of the Rangers." as he spoke his heart grew heavier and heavier, He had fought beside Fawain many times and knew her to be a competent fighter, but some how he felt that this time would be different.

He took another sip of his wine and looked to the hobbit woman trying and no doubt failing miserably to put on a warm smile, to stop her from worrying too.
