*Strider led Leetah into the inn. It wasn't the Prancing Pony, but it would do. It was small and off the beaten path. It would serve their needs just fine. He turned towards her, motioning for her to stay quiet, back in the shadows.*
"I'm going to get a room. Please, just stay here."

*Leetah was standing quiet in the shadows, covering herself in her hooded cloak. She didn't feel quite comfortable, running away like this, but anything was better than the alternative.*
"Ok, I'll wait..." *she whispered in Elvish.*

*Strider quietly made his way to the counter and procured a key from the woman there, a dark haired lady that raised her brow and watched him return to Leetah's side. He didn't know it was Brandi. But she knew it was him, smiling to herself and ducking behind the counter to put something away before disappearing into the kitchen. He approached the elf, worry etching his face, but his voice calm.*
"All right, I got us a room upstairs. It should do well enough."

*Leetah quietly watched the scene by the counter. She had never been in a human house before. Everything was so new... She was a bit frightened, but she had to trust them. What else could she do? Seeing the worry etching Aragorns face didn't calm her down a bit, so when he spoke to her, she didn't dare to reply. She only nodded and followed him, quietly.*

*He let them both into the room locking the door behind him.*
"It's all right now. You'll be safe here."
*He walked to the window.*
"If you want to sleep, I'll keep watch."
*He pulled a chair to the corner.*
"And the bathroom is at the end of the hall."

*Leetah quietly crept onto the bed, but didn't lay down. She shuddered and snuggled into her cloak.*
"I can't sleep in strange places."
*She replied.*
"And what is a bathroom?"

*Aragorn walked to the bed, loosening her cloak and covering her with a blanket.*
"You'll have to learn to. I don't know how long we'll be here."
*He pursed his lips, trying to answer her other question.*
"I'm not sure, but that's what the woman told me."

*Leetah wrapped herself in the blanket, a little suspicious at first, but it was warm and cozy. She already missed Lorien and Haldir and Queen Tearbird... She wondered what they would say when they found out she was missing...*
"Who is the woman?"
*She asked in Elvish, her own language, the last connection she had to her own world in this new and frightening surroundings...*

*Aragorn shrugged.*
"Apparently she owns this inn. I didn't get her name."
((Didn't you recognize her? I mean, she's not all bloody and everything, but still. Leetah tried to heal her during the war.))

*Leetah thought for a moment. The woman seemed so familiar... She KNEW she had seen her before... When she remembered, she was jumping up and down on the bed in exitement.*
"I remember!!!" *She almost shouted.* "The woman on the stone altar!!!"

*Aragorn caught her behind the knee, causing her to fall back on the bed. He was on top of her in a moment, his hand clampped over her mouth and his eyes wide in frustration. He whispered hard.*
"Leetah! We're here to hide. That won't work if you're shouting and jumping on the bed."
*He nodded slowly, begging her understanding.*
"Don't you see?"

*Leetah's eyes filled with tears. It was hard for a 15 year old teenage elf girl to control her impulsive nature. And now she had ruined everything... A tear trickled down her cheek. She hadn't meant to shout, she was only so happy to see that the woman was still alive. She had been really worried when War stopped her from helping...*

"Now I'm going to let go. Please...just try to stay calm."
*Aragorn felt a little bad, but it was her life he was trying to protect.*

*Leetah frowned. Why was he treating her like a baby? She hated that. Always being protected. First by her parents, then by Haldir, then by Don Juan and now by Aragorn... *
"I AM calm!!!" *She exclaimed in Elvish, a little louder than she ought to.* "You have never seen me furious! Yet!!!!"

*Aragorn sighed and rubbed his forehead. Because you're actig like one, that's why. He sat down in the chair heavily and gestured to the door.*
"If that's how you feel about it, you can just go. I'm sure you'll manage better without me telling you what to do."
*Why was he so bad at this?*
