"Oh, all right." She said, a bit surprised at the swiftness and efficency. Maybe it just came with him being in the military and such.
She sat up, stretching, and wandered into the nicely-appointed tent to change into her night gown. She couldn't very well sleep in the dress that had gotten dusty from travel.
That done, she snuggled down under the covers, pulling them up to her chin.

*Haldir quickly washed the dishes in the river, then packed away everything they had used. He calmly put out the fire and placed a magic protective shield around the tent, so nobody could enter it while they were sleeping. Then he went inside.
He looked at Katya, who had gone to bed, and ducked under the covers. Then he thought of the dangers that could lurk in these parts of Lorien. Always ready for battle as he was, he removed only the most necessary of his clothing, just in case. With his weapon within reach, he went quietly to bed. He whispered to Katya.*
"Good night, and sleep safely. I am a very light sleeper, and will wake up by the slightest noise. And my weapons are ready for defense. You are safe with me."

*Haldir laid still in his bed. His sleep was the light sleep only a soldier keeping guard would have. Especially a Warrior belonging to the Elven people.*

*The next morning, she was up with the lark. Funny that she should be awake so early, considering she'd been so tired last night. Must still be some of yesterday's excitement left-over.
She poked Haldir in the arm*
"Wake up, sleepy-head."

*Haldir woke up and sat up in bed. He smiled warmly when he saw her.*
"Good morning, sunshine! You are up early. Do you want some breakfast? I'll make us some. You can bathe in the river if you want to, while I prepare our meal."

"Breakfast is fine, but the water looks too cold. I might turn into ice if I step in it."

*Haldir stood up and put on the few clothings he had removed the night before. Then he fastened his weapons in his belt, made the beds and walked out of the tent.
He stretched his muscles and looked against the river. She was right. It did look cold. He lifted his arm, directed his palm against the water and said some words in Elvish. Then he turned to Katya again, with a smile.*
"Go and give it a try."

"Oh, no no no. You shouldn't have gone to the trouble. I'm not going in there."
The river was suddenly making her nervous, although she couldn't entirely say why.

*Haldir smiled, but respected her decision. He sat down outside the tent, and found some lembas (elf breadI and fresh fruit for them. He also found some bottles of ice cold water. When everything was ready, he called for her.*
"Breakfast is ready, cherie."

"Okay!" Her one concession had been to splash her face, shivering at the cold water.
She joined him, hair neatly brushed and fresh travelling clothes in place*

*Haldir gave her her portion of breakfast before he helped himself. He also made sure she had enough to drink.*
"Are you exited about our plans today?"
((Happy birthday, and congrats on 300 posts))

((It's not my birthday yet. XD))
*She bobbed her head up and down*
"Oh yep, definitely. I was thinking...I saw a bridge in the city. Maybe we could head that way?"

((According to Norwegian time it is XD ))
*Haldir smiled gently and stood up. He had already packed the few things they needed to explore the town. He preferred to travel light.*
"The bridge is a nice starting point," *He smiled and took her hand, to walk with her.*

*Taking his hand, they started walking into the ruins, the great white walls and pillars soaring high above them.
There was a strange silence here, and a stillness in the air and sky. Although everything looked ancient, there seemed something timeless about it all. Even the carvings on some of the walls had been preserved*
