[She smiles at his correction on who Nolofinwe and Arafinwe are, glad that he had switched to their sindarized names, which made it easier for her to know who he was speaking of.]
I have been trying to learn Quenya when I can, but even so I fear I will never remember all the names! [She laughs softly.] Silvan elves are far more simplistic. We have one name given at birth, though it might change if something significant occurs.
[Talk about children and war, causes her smile to fade just a little.]
That is a truth that we do not tend to have children in times of war or great strife. More so because we do not wish to raise our children in sadness or at the risk of them loosing a parent to hardship.
[Her smile fades altogether as she thinks of the orcs who killed her parents.]
My parents were... a little unusual as well. They desired to have a family and so I was born in the time of the Watchful Peace. Only it was not so peaceful for them and they were slain by orcs.
