"Yes," Earendil agreed. "Kelirahc caught on very quickly as well, even more quickly than Leyenda and I. And I know he has said something to the effect that he was able to understand Leyenda even before they had a common language ..."
"Entirely possible," Fletcher murmured, "and I'm not just being a romantic. It's an ability that our race has, to convey their thoughts to another simply by touch. They may not realize it, and some have it stronger than others, but it is true. Everyone has the ability."

"Well that explains why he was so comfortable with her so quickly," Lin mused.
Misunderstandings aside, Kelirahc had from the beginning it sounded like been at ease with Leyenda. If they had that bit of unknown common ground that was probably why despite not speaking the same language he was confident in what he was feeling for her.

Fletcher chuckled. "I heard about that. Sudden marriage and all. I'm sure poor Arwen was shocked half to death ... still, it sounds like it was fun."
"After four days of wondering where she could possibly be," Earendil remarked, arching one eyebrow, "it was anything but fun."

Lin laughed, "But afterwards...." she paused and then amended, "A long time afterwards we could laugh about it."
It took a while once people got use to the idea of the two being married and then realizing what had happen and realizing that the two were miraculously a perfect match (or maybe they were just destined to meet who knew?).

"Still," Fletcher grinned, "obviously everything turned out well, yes? Otherwise they would not already have a son, would they?"
"It really is amazing how it all worked out," Earendil smiled warmly. "It's like one of those stories that you hear but never believe is really possible. Amazing, but impossible. So when it actually does happen ..."
He trailed off and smiled. It really was a fairy-tale marriage, strange as it may seem.

She added to herself a story out of a crazy romance novel, because she knew the two wouldn't get it. Not that she ever read a romance novel.
"It's surprising, awing when it happened," Lin replied, "But then again I find a lot of the stories that revolve around people I know seem to be like that."
There was Serenity and Beren after all... and then Elnara and Lore. Arwen and Roydon seemed normal enough, except who would have thought since Roydon had ties to Haven in a way. Halmir and Arthael were just surprising in their behaviour.....

Earendil blinked. "Really? You've seen it before?" he asked, surprised.
Fletcher was also surprised. He had never heard of such a case. "That is indeed surprising," he commented, tilting his head slightly at Lin. "Care to share a story?"

Lin murmured, "Well heard of it, and not Leyenda and Kelirahc's exact case... more like I swear people around me have love lives that sound like it's out of a romance... story."
She almost used novel, if she knew whether or not Earendil could read English, she would probably get him a book.

"Why do you say that?" Earendil asked curiously. "What makes stories different from real life?"
Were stories really so embellished that they were unlikely to be real? Maybe in Leyenda's case, but otherwise ... really ...

Lin grinned realizing that Earendil would have trouble understanding, "Earendil, if you can read in Common Tongue I'll get you a book, because it's a culture thing. There are the stories, real life stories that get passed around, like what we're doing, but Gaia is a very literate culture, we don't just read to learn, we read for entertainment."
At least for those of them that actually could and bothered to read.
"So you have your real life stories, or non-fiction, but you have your fiction which is written just to be read for pleasure. In romance stories it's always that odd chance to meet someone just for you, not just for you, but after over coming some sort of odds that makes you think something like that meeting is not possible. Like.... Serenity and Beren for example, they fell in love in Beren's last life, and met again in his next, but it wasn't just simply meeting again. Beren had been kidnapped by slavers, Serenity just happened to have been back in time to take part in that hunt. I'm told that reincarnation take much longer than what Beren went through, and they take a very long time to regain their memories. Chances are, he only regained them as quickly as he did, because he had met her. Saw her change, saw her fight, who knows what memories surfaced as a result, but it's all chance... Serenity doesn't normally stay in Haven, it was chance she happened to have come about, and all the children who have ever been kidnapped Beren happened to be one of them."
She tilted her head, to her it was beyond the most dramatic romance story, her friend Raven would have loved it.

Earendil chuckled. "Well, I can read the common tongue, a bit. Mother taught me when I was young, but I'm not sure how much I remember of it. I'm sure if I were to try again it would all come back."
"You know," Fletcher commented, "that actually makes sense, what you say about Serenity and Beren. Yes, it is rare that such a thing would happen - at least, so quickly."

Lin grinned at that, that was good because with Miyuki getting older it was time to break out the children reading books anyways. She read that in a parenting book somewhere, that reading to your child was good.
Not that she had ever been read to, but she assumed it had to do with the fact she had been a Surprise child and not a three year old looking child.
And maybe she would try and find a good book for Earendil.
"I remember that hunt, I wasn't there when they came back I only heard second hand," Lin admitted, "Celebor and I had to be sent home, but that was when Mom began joining Dad."
She actually had freaked a bit when she found out, her mother.

"Sent home?" Earendil repeated. "Why were you sent home?"
That seemed a bit strange to him. After all, didn't they always send as many people as possible out on the hunts? For safety?

"This was before Mom ever began coming to Haven with Dad, and the only other person who came with us on that trip was Celebor. While most remember Celebor as a teenager he just happen to have grown moments after arriving in Haven, and I had just begun to discover my affinity for butterflies. Also, despite the way the hunts have been in the past several decades, when Haven first started it was only two people who went out. Mainly Celeborn and Dad..."
She paused trying to recall what she had been told and what she had remembered.
"This group, they had actually raided a whole town, it was the largest group of slavers and children Haven had heard of, in fact I don't think any group matched them after that. Dad, figured it was going to take a longer than usual, so we were to be sent home before he got back."
Nevermind the fact that was when the catch and release method was introduced.

"Ah," Earendil nodded. "I see. So it was before you went with on the hunts. So you weren't around when Grandfather returned with them, I suppose, if you were sent home?"
Fletcher looked thoughtful. He could remember a few of the hunts, watching them from the top of the mountain, though he had never joined any of them. From the top of the mountain they could see quite far after all.
