"Partly to get away," said Nurumaiel, looking out the window. "You see, back home, in Rivendell, there's this elf called Girithtil. She's nasty, if you can imagine a nasty elf. She seems to hate me, though I don't know why. Every chance she gets, she'll make fun of me and taunt me. Sometimes she's cruel to my horse, Menethon. I leave Rivendell every so often just to get away and find some peace.

"I also come here because I made friends with two of the hobbits: Robin Brandybuck and Dinodas Green. In fact, I think they're here at the inn tonight. Robin is a sweet girl, very fun-loving, and always ready for an adventure. Dinodas is about the same way, only he has a special way with animals. They are forever teasing each other, and teasing myself. They think I'm in love with Firramer, a mortal who is also at the inn." Nurumaiel rolled her eyes, and Rie laughed.

Suddenly Nurumaiel began just talking, telling about things that had happened in her life. She found that gazing out the window at the night sky gave her memories of when she would gaze out at the stars at Rivendell, and all the things that had happened there.

"I used to know this elf called Rinnanwen," said Nurumaiel quietly. "She was like my mother, really. You see, I don't exactly know who my parents are. I was brought to Rivendell when I was only three years in this world. Rinnanwen cared for me and raised me.

"Soon the Lady Galadriel had me go to Rivendell, and I said goodbye to Rinnanwen, though it was only for a short while. She came to Rivendell and visited many times. But soon I would say goodbye to her forever."

Nurumaiel gave a deep sigh and continued.

"You know how all -well, almost all- the elves are leaving Middle-earth for Valinor? Just two years ago in the mortals' count, Rinnanwen came to Rivendell unexpectedly. She told me she was leaving Middle-earth forever, and that we would probably never meet again."

Rie looked at her with gentle pity. "Aren't you going to Valinor soon?" she asked.

"I don't know. I don't feel that it is my time yet. But Rinnanwen said I would never go to Valinor. I don't know if I believe her."

Nurumaiel suddenly looked at Rie and blushed. "I'm sorry for rattling on so," she said. "I must have bored you immensely. Please, tell me a little more about yourself."
