The Green Dragon Inn - Part 6

[Imladris]

Relinquishing the hold upon her dagger, Lira flashed a gently smile at Uien and listened closely to Uien as she swiftly related the details that Lira had missed. She walked with Uien towards the stable and, when they neared the door, Uien turned and said boldly, "I was hoping you, too, would join us."

Fierce joy flooded Lira as she heard Uien's statement. To rescue a wounded man who may be dead or dying was a noble quest and to aid Uien would be a pleasure. That she, Uien who was fair to behold, would wish that Lira, an elf without beauty, filled the elf maid with indescribable joy. A happy smile shone upon her face and Lira said gently, "I would be honoured to journey with you." Uien smiled and Lira accompanied her and aided her with the duties of a stablemaster's assistant.
