Open to both courts

[tawarwaith]

[Tauriel looks at the locket with more familiarity this time. This at least was something she was comfortable with and it made announcing her reappearance a little easier.]

To those of you who do not know me, I am Tauriel of the Woodland Realm, previously of Mirkwood. To those of you who do know me, I am glad to see you once more, though I cannot say it is with any great joy. I am not happy to once again know that I have been recruited against my will to fight against those I deem dear to me. But I am glad to see familiar faces and know I am not alone. Can anyone tell me how long I have been away and what has happened? The last I remember was being in the Station.

Forgive me, my words... I have not had a chance to travel much so it was bannished in allt he places I knew.

[It had been forbidden in the Woodland Realm, an edict carried over from the time of Oropher down to his son and so for Tauriel it was as if it was banished from all of Arda.

That the Lady of Light ill teach her fills Tauriel with no small degree of satisfaction as she beams to her excitedly.]

Thank you my lady! I will try to be an attentive student.

[Which she knew was going to be harder than it sounded, as she was by her very nature, a creature of action.]

There is naught to forgive. It is rarely spoken, even in those parts of Middle Earth not under a ban; you are not far wrong, in the end.

[Oh, the way Tauriel lights up does make her smile. It's nice to see enthusiasm.][She doesn't know Tauriel very well, but some things are easy to guess.]

[tawarwaith]

[She smiles all the more, glad that Galdriel had agreed to teaching her. In truth it was a bit overwhelming since she was so famous. She desperately wanted to be a good pupil.]

All that remains is a time and place for these lessons. I am to head for the Station as soon as possible, but I do not know where it is you are currently.

[inafadingcrown]

I am at the Station, at least for a time. It should not be difficult to arrange something.

[tawarwaith]

This makes things much easier then! [In spite of herself she looked even happier, remembering only at the end that she should have a bit of decorum as she was talking to Galadriel.]

That is, I hope my lessons can begin upon my arrival.

[inafadingcrown]

I see no reason why they should not.

[tawarwaith]

[Tauriel smiles again and inclines her head.]

I had best make hast in my travels then.

[inafadingcrown]

Make haste if you will, but do not sacrifice safety for speed. Take care, Tauriel.
