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.

She is a sweet thing then with a pretty name. [Tauriel is very glad she did not comment about cooking the rabbit now.]

I'm glad you were rewarded for your efforts. I hope she brings some happiness to you.

[digophelia]

On the contrary, I hope that I can bring happiness to her.

[tawarwaith]

Well I know you can keep her safe.

[digophelia]

Rabbits are blessedly skittish in the fact they can avoid danger more often than not, thank goodness! Otherwise, I won't fret over her too much.

Not unlike others I know.

[tawarwaith]

[The comment about the rabbit's danger sense, made her grin.]

You might follow her advice time to time as well so that I won't have to fret over you too much.

[It was meant as a lighthearted jest and Tauriel smiled all the more to show it. She knew well how capable Alice was, but it did not stop her from caring, or worrying.]

[digophelia]

[ She tolerates it, since she's one of the few people she can be less awkward with socially. It does get a small smirk on her face. ]

Ah, well. Oh, might I ask you a favor Miss Tauriel?

[tawarwaith]

You can. What is it you need or want?

[digophelia]

Could you take care of her? Sophie, I mean. Rabbits don't eat much of anything, except for grass and hay. She seems smart enough to seek her own food, but. If I am going back, I'm taking Celegorm's horse with me so she can have company, too.

[ It must seem silly, but giving animals company is important to her. ]

[tawarwaith]

[It is not so silly to Tauriel. After all she is a wood elf and loves nature and animals very much. Even if her people also hunted animals, they always gave them a respectful end.]

I would be happy to watch after your rabbit friend and I will make sure she is well taken care of.

[digophelia]

[ And normally people would make fun of Alice for asking such a thing. Isn't it just a little childish? ]

Oh, thank you! Rabbits are very quiet, so she shouldn't be a bother!

[tawarwaith]

[Tauriel talks to trees. She isn't one to judge.]

I'm sure she will do well in my care then.

[digophelia]

Oh, thank you very much! I promise that I will return the favor!
