*Haldir escorted Katya to the West wings of the Castle. The West wings had belonged to his family for generations. The room he found for Katya was huge, light and beautiful, with really elegant furniture. Fit for a princess. And his own bedroom was next to hers, so he could protect her from whatever she needed protection from. He opened the door to the room and stepped aside, allowing her to go first.*
"Here we are, Mademoiselle Katya. I hope you will feel at home here. You can stay for as long as you like. The bathroom is over there, and there are food and drink in here too. And if you need some new clothes, I am sure my sister can arrange something for you. I live in the bedroom next to you, and you can find me there whenever you need me. Please feel free to explore the castle as much as you like. I'll be glad to show you around. I'll stand to your disposition."

*Katya was in awe of the beauty of the place. It was like nothing she'd ever seen before--even, something told her, in the memories she couldn't recall. It was more than just beautiful...it was magical, ethereal, almost beyond words. Moving very quietly, as though it would be blasphemy to disturb the atmosphere of the place, she meekly followed her escort to the rooms.
The room was just as impressive and overwhelming.*
"Oh, this...this is wonderful! Fantastic! I have not imagined in my wildest dreams a place like this! It...it is almost too much to be real."
*She turned to Haldir, her face full of wonder*
"I can truly have this room? All to myself?"

*Haldir smiled warmly, looking at her with glittering eyes. It pleased him that he had been able to bring this poor lost child some joy.*
"It is your room, for as long as you like to stay, Mademoiselle Katya."
*He smiled warmly.*
"If you need anything or have any questions, I live in the room next to yours. And if there are anything you want, don't hesitate to ask me. I will gladly get you whatever you like."

*She beamed at him*
"Thank you! You are very generous and I promise you won't be sorry."

*Haldir smiled warmly and looked over her room. He opened a closet and found out his sister Leetah had already placed some beautiful dresses in it, ready for use if Katya should need it. Haldir smiled. So typical of his sister Leetah to have visions about anyone that came to Lorien before they actually entered.*
"I see my sister has already placed some clothes here for you. Please make yourself at home, mademoiselle. I'll be in my room if you have any questions, or just want some company."
*The expected storm arrived. It started thundering and raining, and the wind blew really hard. Haldir made a fire in the fireplace for Katya and lit the candles in her room.*
"Do you wish anything before I retire?" *He asked gently.*

*Her eyes widened at the ready and waiting wardrobe*
"How...did you know...?"
*She jumped at a stray sound of thunder, though, and scooted closer to the fire*
"I'll be fine, for now. Thank you, again."

*Haldir smiled.*
"My sister Leetah is a shaman, Miss Katya. She is our most skilled magician in White Magic. She always know when someone will arrive our Kingdom. But you don't need to be afraid of her. She has a gentle heart."
*He noticed her jumping at the sound of thunder. Then he saw a lightning at the dark sky outside, and heard an even louder sound of thunder. He knew the storm was right above them.*
"Are you sure you're ok, Mademoiselle Katya?"

"Shaman?"
*This was...strange. Though, she sensed nothing would harm her.*
"Oh, heh, yes I'll be fine."

*Haldir smiled warmly.*
"If you're afraid of the storm, Mademoiselle, I can ask Nessa Telemnar to stay with you. She belongs to the aristocracy too, and used to be Queen Tearbird's chamber maid. She is a bit shy, but friendly. I think you would like her."

*She smiled*
"Oh, thank you again! I would like that."

*Haldir smiled and left the room, and soon after there was a knock on the door. A blond, beautiful elf girl appeared in the doorway. She smiled shyly to Katya.*
"You must be the new girl Haldir told me about. I am Nessa Telemnar, but please call me Nessa. Everyone does."

"Hello." She said shyly. "I'm Katya Nicolaevna...I guess, you are here to keep me company?"
*The thunder outside sounded with a 'ka-bam!'*

*Nessa smiled and entered the room. She had brought with her some blankets, pillows, and a box of snacks they could enjoy themselves with during the storm.*
"Nice to meet you, Mademoiselle Katya. I am happy to keep you company. I hate storms, even though I have lived in Lorien my entire life. I hope you are fond of snacks, because I brought a box of it with me. I thought we could talk and get to know each other better."

*She brightened. Because of memory loss, Katya couldn't recall having any female friends in the past. She'd been missing out on that, and had been hoping to meet somebody*
"That sounds wonderful, and yes, I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like storms."
*She glanced curiously at the box*
"What sort of snacks?"

*Nessa made up the beds, making them nice, warm and cozy. Then she sat comfortably down on the bed, and placed the box between them.*
"Ummm. Let's see, I have all kinds of fruits and berries, chocolate, chips, cheeze doodles, oh, and soft drinks! I hope you like that."
*She offered Katya to sit beside her.*
"Please, help yourself to some snacks."
