*Haldir smiled and looked over at her.*
"They have their own little kingdom here in Lorien somewhere. They call it New Atlantis."

*She blinked at him*
"Since...when? I've never heard mention of it until now."

*Haldir smiled.*
"It is supposed to be a secret. I only told you since you understood that the instruments came from Atlantis. Officially, it doesn't exist. The people there wants to live in peace, shielded from the rest of the world. And it is my duty as a Captain to shield them. One of my many work tasks."

"Are...are you sure you won't get in trouble for telling me?" She asked, concerned. He really shouldn't give out such secret things...

*Haldir laughed.*
"There is a reason why I tell you these things. Their king and queen wants to meet a human again. But not just any human. It has to be a person who is wise enough to understand that they are really from Atlantis. The person in question also need to understand their longing for other humans after such a long time among the elves. I thought you would be just the right person."

*Her eyes widened in surprise at this reveal*
"I...are you sure? I mean...I'm not exactly the best example of that--I missed the elves and came back to them after a time. Besides, I'm not all that wise..."

*Haldir smiled and looked back at her.*
"I don't know anyone better."

"Surely, I'm not the only human in Lorien?"
*Lorien was one thing, but Atlantis...? It was almost too much for her.*

*Haldir smiled.*
"Well, we of course have other humans living here too. But I wanted to give you the chance first, before asking someone else."

"That's kind of you, but...I don't know. Lorien is overwhelming enough as it is. But...Atlantis...that's something. It's...probably more than I can handle."

Haldir smiled and looked warmly back at her.*
"You must decide for yourself, of course. In my opinion you would handle this just great. All they want, is to see, and talk to another human. Hear some news about the world outside, perhaps some fashion advice...."

*She shook her head*
"I'm not the best source for information on the outside world. I've been cut off from things for too long."

*Haldir smiled.*
"Well, okay. I can ask someone else. I don't want to push you."

"Someone who has more up-to-date knowledge," she said matter-of-factly. "I shall think on that. Maybe I can help, in that sense."

*Haldir nodded approvingly.*
"I hope you find someone worthy of our trust. This secret can't come out to just anybody. I chose to speak to you because I think you are trustworthy and don't run around spreading gossip and rumors."
