Menelduliniel and Estelarion smiled and greeted Varda.
"Suilad!" Menelduliniel exclaimed in greeting.
Varda smiled back at Menelduliniel.
"What do you suppose is with that gentleman?" Menelduliniel said to Varda, indicating to the mysterious man that had passed by, "Do you know who he is?"
"Nay," Varda replied, "Why? Do you know him?"
"No," Menelduliniel said, "That is why we wanted to know. Well, I guess there is only one way to find out."
"Menelduliniel..." Estelarion said in a warning voice, "Do not disturb men you do not want to tangle with."
It was too late, Menelduliniel had already arisen. She crossed the room to the stranger.
"I am sorry," she said in a polite tone, "But I did not get your name."
"That is because I did not give it," the man rebutted into his ale.
"Why not?" Menelduliniel said, not getting a response. "Please tell me?"
The man smiled, "Persistent, yes?"
"Of course," Menelduliniel smiled.
"Well, all right."
Menelduliniel sat across from the man as he finished his ale and waited for him to tell her who he was...
