Aenara saw Taurion and Youlielles eyes catch for a moment and her eyebrows shot up, although she made no comment. Taurion had been sneaking glances at the human for a while, but the way their eyes had met...she pointedly didnt say anything.
"Are you alright, Youlielle?" She murmered to the girl behind her. Strange, she had met humans before, but never really been this close...
"Yes Aenara. Im fine." The answer came back. Aenara smiled. She finished her humming and sighed happily again, making Aenara smile. She began to hum her own tune...
Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
Yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
mi oromardi lisse-miruvóreva
Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári-lírinen....
She began before stopping as she realised Youlielle was listening to her.
"Does that have words?"
"Indeed. Do you wish me to teach you the common tongue or elvish?" She answered, smiling slightly.
"The words are elvish?" The girls voice was wondering as she realised what the elf had just said. "You would teach me?"
"If you wish it, Youlielle. Come, say after me; Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen?"
The girl repeated this, stumbling, slowly and Aenara winced slightly at the pronunciation. "Say it like that and you may insult quite a few people!" She laughed. The girl blushed and they tried again, smiling and laughing as they rode.
