[This entry, Galadriel doesn't waste time with introductions or formalities, instead jumping directly into her question- a bad sign for someone normally so verbose. Her words are clipped- short, direct, precise, and to the point.]

Are there any here who have experience with some manner of [a little pause] an enchanted sleep? I have heard of such things, but I will admit that I have never had dealings with them myself.

[The reason for this question can be seen in background- a silver-haired woman sleeping soundly in one of the rooms available for travelers at the Station. Galadriel turns to glance back at her before continuing, the worry she has kept from her tone plainly evident in her eyes.]

I would also ask if there are any who know something of what becomes of those who disappear from this world. I know that it has occurred before, but it seems strange, does it not, to find a shard in place of the person who has left? We were told that these emerge only when one is near to death- [And that is why she's fretting about Elrond's disappearance too. She stops talking then and frowns at the locket, apparently deciding that she's said enough to make her point.]

You have my thanks. [And the feed goes off.]

[ooc: Or if your character is at the Station too, they can hang out with her in person. Also apologies for being slow lately; health problems have held me up.]

[Technically, Kili is at the Station too, but he's just glancing through the locket without realizing that the elf lady speaking is also in the same location.

No, he's a bit focused on the elf sleeping in the background. His eyes widen.]

Lady Celebrian?! [He blurts it out without thinking, just catching the words 'enchanted sleep' and there is the healer that saved his life, unmoving.]

[inafadingcrown]

You know my daughter, Master Kili? [Yes, she remembers him, short as their first conversation may have been.]

[kilimanjaro]

[He starts in surprise, nodding.] We've met on several occasions. She...ah...she found a shard in my leg and saved my life. [His voice is a bit softer this time.]

Will she be alright?

[inafadingcrown]

I have seen nothing like this before- but from all I have learned, I believe that she will be. [She frowns and places a hand on her daughter's shoulder.] She will have the best of care, that, I can assure you.

[kilimanjaro]

[Kili hesitates a moment, concerned.] ...Is there something I can do? I owe her my life.

[inafadingcrown]

[She shakes her head] I know of nothing. Would that I did.

[kilimanjaro]

It grieves me to hear that. [He looks down, biting his lip.] Please, keep me informed as to her condition.

[inafadingcrown]

I will. I give you my word. [A pause and the slightest of smiles] Thank you, Master Kili.

[kilimanjaro]

Of course, My Lady. [He returns her smile with a small one of his own.]
