*It felt like it'd been forever since she'd last seen the castle, and she walked slowly through the halls, drinking the sights and sounds as though seeing it all for the first time again. It hit her, just then, how much she'd truly loved this place, and how foolish of her it had been to try and leave it. This was home, now, for better or worse.
Her room was exactly as she'd remembered it, too, and she smiled as she beheld the piano in the corner. Someone had remembered the music session with Nessa*

*Haldir entered the room, and placed all her belongings carefully on the floor. Then he turned to her with a smile.*
"It feels good to have you back, princess. I have missed you."
*He smiled warmly by the sight of the piano, remembering the first time he had heard Anastasia sing.*
"I think Nessa has missed you too."
*He said gently.*

"I shouldn't have left," she said after a pause.
"I realize, now, that my new home was Lorien."
*She turned back to him with a smile*
"This is where I belong."

*Haldir smiled back.*
"I am glad you decided to stay. For Lorien, for everyone that lives here......"
*He turned away to inspect some of the fresh flowers at the table, as he said quietly*
"......and for me."

*There was a short, quiet moment before she spoke again*
"Haldir...I'm sorry. I treated you rather badly, before I left. I know you were only being yourself, I had no right to be so unreasonable. I blew it all out of proportion."
*She sighed*
"I'm sorry."

*Haldir smiled sadly and used his magic to heal a flower that had almost faded. A moment later it had regained it's color.*
"I'm sorry for how I treated you as well. It was all my fault. I tried to push you into something you weren't ready for. I'm sorry."

*She gave him a lopsided smile*
"Well, now that we're both sorry...I suppose things will get better."

*Haldir smiled back.*
"Yes, I suppose so too."
*He looked into her eyes.*
"Ehhhh.... we're still friends, aren't we???"
*He would have wanted to be more than friends, but was afraid to scare her away again.*

*The smile she gave him back somehow managed not to be sad, despite what she was feeling*
"Of course. I couldn't turn you away."

*Haldir smiled. Then he remembered his promise.*
"I promised to take you to Nessa's place. Do you want to rest and have a bit of food before you go?"

"No, I'm fine for now. I'll just have a snack later or something to tide me over until dinner."
*She playfully poked Haldir in the arm*
"I never did get to see those grand elven banquets I'd heard about."

*Haldir smiled and arched his eyebrow playfully.*
"You haven't? That's to bad. A lady like you.... I will have to do something about that..."

*She grinned*
"I know that when you say things like that, they'll happen."
*She gestured to the doorway*
"Lead the way?"
