[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.]

Oh, good!

[ Harry's smile is bright and easy-going. ]

I do. I've been abroad recently, but I'm here for a little while at the very least. If you want a little help charming your room against the imps, let me know? I think I've finally found a way to really keep them out.

[ ...mostly. ]

[stillhope]

[Ah, so he can use magic - much like the wizards of Middle Earth. That is intriguing. Giving him a soft smile, she inclines her head for a moment.]

They are called imps? One such creature assisted me in the forest.

[After Maglor all but threatened the small thing if she was mislead. A threat she knew he was more than capable of following through on.]

[thebreakingwave]

The helpful ones are usually fairies and the ones too fond of biting are the imps.

[ Harry isn't too bothered by them. The imps are a little like pixies, but they're brighter and easier to bribe. ]

[stillhope]

The one in the forest had an added bit of... motivation to provide assistance. I have not been bitten by one, though I would rather not have an experience with that.

[thebreakingwave]

They're mostly playful.

[In a bitey, Peeve-ish sort of way.]

But if you're staying here, it's a good idea to get your quarters charmed all the same. While the moon's gone, I've been redoing mine.

[stillhope]

Interesting. And I have no intention of remaining, though should things change I feel it might not be such a poor idea.

[Considering she could not foresee her future here. While she would like to believe that once she has been reunited with her family - with the war raging here, she did not want to count on any arrangement lasting.]

[thebreakingwave]

I understand, this place can be a bit much, but it's alright once you're used to it.

[ There are several reasons Harry isn't about to invite his Seelie friends over for dinner. ]

Do you have a place to go?

[stillhope]

We are going to an encampment, I believe, and then the Station where some of my family shall be waiting.

[There's a softness to her face at the mention of her family, eager to see them all - especially those she'd never thought she'd see again.]

[thebreakingwave]

That's good. I guess all that's left is for me to wish you good luck?

[stillhope]

Perhaps so. Thank you again for your offer. I shall seek you out should I return and am in need of a charm.

[thebreakingwave]

Oh, and if you need it, my name's Harry.

[stillhope]

And I am Arwen. It is a pleasure, though I wish it were under happier circumstances.
