Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Well..." Lin replied back thoughtfully, "I think I already like her since because of her Elrohir knows how good hugs are."

After all the man was pretty much hug deprived the first time they had met, and now he was all happy and good with hugs.

"That's good!"

Luthien waved back briefly before returning to her painting.



The passage leveled out, and Earendil led them through a narrow passageway. He was used to going through here in the pitch blackness, and now that there was a light, it seemed a bit strange to him. He smiled to himself and wondered if he would ever be used to how different the castle could be.

"Well," he murmured to Lin, "didn't you try to teach him that hugs are good when you were here the first time? But you're right, she did teach him how good hugs really are ... and he's a lot different from what he used to be, thanks to her."

He glanced down at her. "Do you like my uncle better this way?"

"Yes," Lin replied back without thinking about it, "He's a lot happier this way and..." she paused for a moment, "And he's happy and Elnara is happy and they're all good togther."

While she did not know the whole story between Elnara or Elrohir, or the story at all. She knew that her Daddy was not too fond of Elrohir, and since she reasoned her Daddy would not be fond of someone without a good reason, she deducted that it had to do with Elnara, but if Elnara was okay then her Daddy wouldn't mind Elrohir so much.

Earendil grinned. "I'm glad you're happy," he told Lin. "And you're right, he's a lot happier than he used to be. Haradhel's a really nice woman, they deserve to be happy together."

Haradhel especially, but he wouldn't go into that.

"Too bad we'll probably not be there when they do get married," Lin replied back, "But you know, the time difference does really weird things."

Though she realized she didn't know how old Earendil was at all, he was just a lot older than her, and he would keep getting older without changing well at least ovelry that much.

"It does indeed," Earendil agreed. "Every time you come here, you look exactly the same, and yet I know you're just a child and should be growing ... and yet for me it's been years since I last saw you."

They reached another set of steps and began the slow ascent. "Perhaps you should visit more often," he suggested.

Lin nodded, she just hadn't because her parents wouldn't want her bothering people, but if the time difference was so great she supposed it wouldn't have mattered.

"I should, but I have to ask," she replied back, "What if no one is down there when I am? I won't get out."

Not that it had happened yet.
