[There's some hesitation at first, unsure if the locket is working, but with a small sound from the imp beside her, she adjusts. The image is no longer one of the stars and boughs of the trees overhead but resting on the face of a weary elf. A weight had been lifted off of her with her arrival, though the chill still remained - seeming to radiate from within.]

Mae govannen [(Well met)], these creatures informed me I am in the Drabwurld just beyond the Unseelie castle. They do not seem to be able to tell me how I might return home. It is imperative that I do not linger here, my father will worry.

[Among others, though he would be first to notice her absence. It could be a terrible distraction from the war, causing worry when it was unnecessary - even cause a horrible loss. That could not happen - no on her account.]

Goheno nin [(Forgive me)], but I must return to Imladris at once. You seem to have powerful enough magic to bring me to your world, surely it could not be such a hardship to return me home. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

[And with that the locket closes, uneasy eyes searching the forests for an unseen danger - far too accustomed to things like orcs roaming in the night. The sooner she could be returned home, the better.]

I do not believe it. {He scowls determinedly. There are many falsehoods in this land and he chooses not to believe them.} Arwen, they possess the power to transport us, but I have not seen that they possess the power to destroy our worlds.

{His heart aches and he nearly rests his forehead against the locket.}

We will see one another soon. I will find a way. {Preferably one that does not include battle.} Until then, rest. I know you have great need of it.

And I you. More than the sun and the moon. [More than even the brightest of stars. She wants to share in his hope that they're wrong - the belief that they did not have the power to follow through on what they threaten.

She gives him a small resigned sigh, knowing he would be true to his word. They would see each other again, he will not be the only one searching for a way.]

I shall try.

[If the worry and longing would give her a moment's peace. She will rest. It was almost unnatural, her need for it, but the darkness had been growing to be almost unbearable.]

Please be safe. I could not bear to lose you.
