Poppy sighed, and relaxed.
“I’m sorry,” she said regretfully. “Only, this journey has involved a lot of new experiences for me, and…I don’t know, if I’m to see Maladil himself, and hearing the state that man was in…it just makes me nervous. I didn’t mean to be suspicious, I know you were just asking.” Her clear blue eyes showed sincerity, and the elves nodded.
Poppy watched Andreth’s startled reaction. Had she known the man well? Poppy inwardly sighed with confusion before she turned back to Menelduliniel and Estelarion, leaving the girl to mull over her thoughts.
