*Nim'gyola wandered along the road, looking grim.*

*Nessa was outside, taking a short rest in the coronation preparations. She saw a girl she had never seen before.*
"Hi!" *she smiled friendly. "Are you new here? I'm Nessa Telemnar. Welcome to Lorien."

"Lorien?" *she glanced around with a frown. True, she didn't know much about humans, but she thought she knew general facts.*
"I thought this was France."

*Nessa smiled*
"Ahh, well you see. That's what most humans think. In reality, as soon as you enter the forest, you are passing a border between two worlds: The world of the humans and the world of the elves. France will be where you arrive as soon as you are out of the forest again."

*Nim'gyola's downcast eyes only flicked up to Nessa's face once before she began to run towards the forest.*

*Nessa looked after the girl, surprised at her reactions. Was it a glimpse of fear in her eyes? She shook her head as she went back to the castle.*
"Poor girl. I wonder why she was so afraid. She must have been through a lot...."

**NEW DAY**
*Katya had gotten tired of seeing nothing but the gray city walls and equally gray streets of Paris, and therefore had tried her hand at exploring the outskirts of the city--the green, lush lands beyond Paris' boundaries. Being in the woods did nothing to stop her loneliness, but she at least had a beautiful change of scenery.
She'd been wandering for too long, though, and found herself lost in the middle of nowhere with the sun high in the sky. Fighting back a rise of panic, she tried to re-trace her steps but began to realize that she was lost.*

*Haldir was walking around in his forest, taking care of the animals and plants that lived there. He noticed a young human girl wandering about. His lips tightened for a moment, his experience with humans had not been good lately, with the increasing madness of Steerpike. But then his face expression softened again. This girl seemed so... lost. So... helpless.
Haldir had a warm and caring heart, and now he quickly decided to help the girl before she bewildered herself into the Land of Shadows. He walked over to her and talked to her with his warm voice, as he bowed politely.*
"Welcome to the Elven Kingdom of Lorien, Mademoiselle. I am Captain Haldir of Lorien, the Highest Commander of the Elven Kingdom. How can I be of assistance?"

*The seemed to come out of nowhere, so quietly did he walk. She let out a little "oh!" in surprise when he appeared. She turned a bit red when she saw him...he was an incredibly beautiful man, and...did his ears have an odd shape to them?
His title was grand, and she gave a little curtsey at the introduction*
"Oh! I-I think I'm lost. I was trying to go to Paris and I got turned around somewhere, sir."
*She turned a bit redder*
"Ohhh, sorry--I am Katya Nicolaevna."
*Lorien? She didn't know the name, though she didn't know a lot of names. Having amnesia was extremely frustrating*

*Haldir smiled when he noticed the red on her face, but since he had a noble heart, he would never take advantage of a helpless young girl who needed his protection. He kissed her hand galantly.*
"It is nice to meet you, mademoiselle Nicolaevna."
*He smiled warmly.*
"Paris is in that direction." *He pointed.* "But it is a long travel. It will be dark before you are there, and there is a storm on it's way. Would you like to come with me to Lorien and stay as our guest untill the storm has passed? I can assure you that nothing will harm you."

*She smiled hesitantly, though she'd never been harmed by folks offering help in the past*
"I would appreciate that, sir. I won't be trouble, I promise--I'll only stay until the morning, and I'll be out of your hair."

"Oh, I doubt you can be trouble to anyone, mademoiselle."
*Haldir smiled warmly. He thought this girl was something special. Why did he suddenly wish that the storm would last for days?*
"Then please follow me. To keep you safe from danger, I will give you the room that is next to mine. You can stay as our guest for as long as you like."
*He offered her his arm, to escort her safely to Lorien.*

*She shouldn't be so trusting, but something in his manner put her at ease. After a short pause, she took the offered arm* "You're very kind, sir. I hope I can make it up to you somehow." *Despite how much charity seemed to get leveled in her direction, she always felt as though she should find a way to pay the people back. It was something ingrained that she couldn't really explain *

*Haldir smiled warmly and squeezed her hand gently, to reassure her that nothing dangerous would happen to her when he was there to protect her.* "It's a pleasure to be able to assist you, mademoiselle. And you don't need to make it up to us in any way. We are blessed with luck, and never miss anything. In Lorien we don't have need of money, like in the human world."
