*She looked up at him, measuring him carefully, with a wisdom beyond her years.*
"Methinks you are not right, really, for a lot of girls, and not just the Lorien ones."
*There was no malice in her voice. She was merely constating a fact.*
"I don't know why though. You seem nice enough."

*He met her eyes straight on, slowly nodding at her words*
"You're right. I've always felt best out travelling, among the trees, perhaps with a band of fellow wanderers...but in the main, I've always gone it alone."
*He paused, thinking*
"What kind of life is that for someone that wants a home and family? You can't really have those things if you're always on the move."

*Nightfall looked at him again. She enjoyed having an intellectual conversation with someone who didn't push her around.*
"I would love to travel too. But my destiny is to be a warrior. To fight the devilish people that are threatening Lorien. I can't leave my kingdom."
*She thought about his words about wanting a family.*
"I would think that it is possible to have a family even if you're always on the move. Nomadic families seem to do just great. So why shouldn't you?"

"It's too dangerous to travel with me. I have enemies..."
*He shook his head*
"It would be best if it was only me. And I certainly wouldn't force a warrior to abandon their homeland."

*Nightfall looked up at him with a smile.*
"You have enemies? An innocent-looking young man like you? What did you do, wait a little too long with returning your books to the school library?"
*She chuckled with laughter.*
"And sometimes a country can best be protected away from home. You should know that better than anybody. Who are your enemies?"

"You know of the War of the Ring, I hope."

*Nightfall nodded.*
"I have heard about it. The warriors here speak of nothing else. So, you are still haunted by the forces of Sauron?"

"Not so much them as who they have told about me. Those demons that threaten Lorien? Guess who told them about me..."

*Nightfall looked up at him with a mixture of surprise and horror written all over her face.*
"Please don't tell me that Sauron sent them here!"

*He shook his head*
"No, Sauron is dead. But that doesn't mean the remainder of his forces don't have plans of their own."

*Nightfall looked up at him and placed her tiny hand over his.*
"Are you saying... that THEY are the remainder of his forces? And what kind of plans do they have? Do you know?"

*He shook his head*
"No, no. THe last of Sauron's forces having just been feeding information to the demons. That's all."

*Nightfall looked worried.*
"Ouch. That means they have muscles, raw magic power AND the knowledge to destroy Lorien. This is not good. Especially since they are planning to take over the rest of the world when Lorien is no more."

*A look of worry crossed his features*
"Don't Lorien's leaders know about this? Surely they do!"

*Nightfall snorted.*
"The leaders? If you are talking about the human rulers, they are rulers only in the name. They don't get support from anyone that matters anymore. And my mother is working herself half to death in the hospital. My big brother Figwit is on a top secret mission, which I am not allowed to speak of, so I won't. But when he comes back, every thing will turn out fine."
