(((OOC: I've been working on the assumption that they would have been dead by now if they'd stayed in the water. I thought we were hoping to find them downstream, waiting in some village or trying to dry their clothes.)))

((laerdan, I hope you don't mind my new sig, but that poem was beautiful! Lol, Lovely poetry must run in the family)
Eloise heard the voices of her friends before she saw them. She and Nestoneth rounded a corner and there they were! She could hardly believe that they had come all this way just to look for her. They spent a few minutes hugging and engaging in excited babbling. "Last time I fly anywhere!" She exclaimed. Then she stopped. Someone was missing. "Where is Neniethel?"

Simbelmyne looked at her. She had to tell her the truth. "We were attacked by orcs a little way back. Neneithel was killed. The waters have taken her, and her horse has been sent back to her people. She rests now in peace under the water." A tear fell from her eyes. "May peace be with her after death."

The two younger hobbits examined the balrog with a degree of caution then seeing that she wasn't actually attacking decided she was no threat and went back there business

Eloise bowed her head so those that she didn't know wouldn't see her tears. "May she find her way to the halls of Mandos safely."

Nestoneth declined with a smile. "Forgive me, but the cordial of Imladris is not for me. The offer is kind, but I do not need it. I am sorry to hear such news of Neneithel. I know her mother. A strange mixture you have here." She turned to Laerdan. *"Laerdan guren le suilanna." Then she bowed to the others. "I am Nestoneth, once of Doriath. If you have need of a healer, I am happy to go with you."
*"Laerdan, my heart greets you."

Galadeth looked at Eloise.
"Eloise... I know you cannot drink Wine..." Galadeth laughed as she gave the goblet to Legolas.
"I am Galadeth Greenleaf, Daughter of Haldir of Lórien and Wife of Legolas Greenleaf, Prince of Mirkwood and Son of Thranduil."
"It will be a pleasure to travel with you, I am a Healer, too..."

Laerdan smiled, "Nestoneth of Neldoreth, long have I desired to see your face. The halls of my mother's brother Thranduil have long awaited you. My heart has joy now. I have seen a dear friend at last."
"It will be wonderful to have you travel with us." Then turning to the Balrog said "You must be Eloise, I admit I am nervous at such a traveling companion but it seems all my friends trust you so I too will trust you. may our friendship be long and happy." #noedit

Eloise nodded. "I'm sure it will. And you have nothing to fear from me, unless you are of the kindred of the orcs that killed my friend." Anger shone in her eyes.

Nestoneth finished the excellent scone, bowed her thanks to the halfling and answered Eloise. "You will find none in Mirkwood who do not loathe orcs. Now that I have heard of the death of our noble lady Neneithel, I hate them even more. She had killed many of them in her life. That is some comfort to me. That she, who was so far from those she loved best, did not die alone is another. I rejoice that she had friends at her side. She was young, though, as we count. She was born in the third age. And I, a relic of a lost land, live on. There is some purpse to it, but my eyes do not see it."

"Hate "the elder hobbit snapped"HATE" he turned on his heel and span to face the elves "Those orcs were once as you are "He said "Hate makes hate " he pointed at the balrog "and Love and peace make love and peace fight when you must Kill when you must but never ever hate"

Nestoneth sighed, "You know little of such things, Shireling. You would hate someone who desired your death. If they could, they would kill every one of us. We seek only to drive them back to their dark caves. Evil forces destroyed all that I treasured. I saw my land die and the glories of my people were torn apart. I have tried not to hate, and if an orc lay wounded before me, I would heal it, but if it came before me armed and strong, I would kill it. Our world is more dangerous than your kitchen. I rejoice that your people have sufficient peace to love all beings. Many have had to be less gentle to preserve your peace. You judge my people harshly."
