*She sat down next to Nessa, feeling how surprisingly comfortable the mattress was*
"Oooo...I almost can't decide..."
*After glancing one from to the other, she finally picked up a couple of chips to munch on*

*Nessa chose some cherries for herself, before opening two cans of softdrinks for them.*
"So, tell me. How is the human world? I want to learn as much about it as I possibly can."

*She picked up the can curiously, having never seen it before. The drink inside promised to be sweet, and it delivered on the promise when took a drink. Deciding she liked what it was, she kept it in one hand*
"Oh, I'm afraid I dont' have much to say. I don't remember anything from before six months ago."

*Nessa drank from her can too. She enjoyed the taste of strawberries.*
"Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear that. What happened? An accident?"

*She fiddled with the bedspread as she spoke*
"I don't know what happened, but the woodsman that found me said he pulled me from a river, and that I...I'd been shot, so I had bullet wounds..."
*She bore the scars of those injuries*

*Nessa gasped in horror.*
"Oh, that's horrible! Who could have done such a thing?"
*Her warm heart was filled with compassion and she gave Katya a hug.*
"Awww, you poor girl. We'll take good care of you. Nobody's going to harm you here. You are lucky to have a room next to Haldir. He is not only the leader of the army, but also the strongest man in Lorien. Most of the girls in the castle are in love with him, but he doesn't want to have anything to do with any of them."

*She was surprised when Nessa hugged her, but she quickly hugged the elf girl back, trying not to let her eyes fill with tears*
"I wish I knew who did it...the woodsman thought it might have been the revolutionairies in my home country. But, we couldn't stay to investigate because the situation was getting so bad."
*She bit back a sob. She would not cry...would not...would not...*

*Nessa noticed the tension in the other girl's body. She cradled her in her arms, rocking her body gently, to comfort her. She spoke to her with a soft and warm voice, as she stroke her hair.*
"Sometimes people block their memories because the truth is too painful to remember. It's ok if you want to cry. It will release the tension I can feel in your body.... And I will be here for you."

*Katya sniffled, still fighting it despite what Nessa said*
"I don't think it's blocked memory. Woodsman said I was hit on the head, and that's why."
*She heaved a sigh, simply leaning on Nessa*
"Th-thank you. I haven't talked much about it."

*Nessa continued cradling the girl in her arms, comforting and protecting her.*
"You can talk to me as much as you want to, and you can use my shoulder to cry on anytime you want. I don't think it is good for you to fight back the tears."
*Nessa's voice was warm and soft and she stroke Katya's hair gently, as a mother comforting a child.*

*It had been ages since she'd had attention like that. Long separated from family, she'd slowly come to accept it. But now, in this place, with this kindly girl, the old loneliness flooded back. Slowly, she started to cry on Nessa's shoulder*

*Nessa hugged her warmly, rocking her slowly in her arms, caressing her hair and back.*
"That's right...." *She whispered.* "Get it out off your system. You will feel much better afterwards, I promise. And I will be here for you, for as long as you need me. You have Haldir, Leetah and Wild too. You won't need to feel alone anymore."

"I hate not knowing who I am, or anything about my life and my family. It makes me feel like a nobody!" She cried.

*Nessa continued comforting the girl, knowing she needed to cry out her pain. She continued cradling her in her arms and stroking her hair gently.*
"You are not a nobody."
*Nessa smiled gently, and hugged her again.*
"Haldir wouldn't bring a nobody to Lorien. He is very strict on who he brings here. And I am sure that your memories will return to you when your soul is strong enough to accept what has happened. But no matter what has happened with your life and your family, you will always have a home and a family here, with us."

*She sat back for a moment, grabbing a napkin and blowing her nose*
"Thank you. It really helps to hear that. I hope...I hope can I remember, one day. Then I could go looking for a my family and maybe find them."
