[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.]

[There's a bit of a delay before she responds, the woods behind her shifting to a greenwood that looks far less treacherous.]

I am no longer in immediate danger. My kin were able to assist me.

[Continuing on her journey to her mother and grandmother. One step closer.]

Are you a musician?

[playmakings]

People from your world are here? That's a huge relief. I can't imagine anyone being alone here, it's too scary, don't you think? And--yeah, I'm a musician. I mean, not really, I'm training to be one, though. I compose.

[stillhope]

Many from my understanding. A blessing and a curse, and it reminds me much of my home.

[She could understand how one not used to forests and creatures could be overwhelmed. She was still overwhelmed at times.]

My kin are known for their songs and music.

[playmakings]

Oh! [ She knows this answer! ] An elf, right?

[stillhope]

That is correct. Have you met many others?

[playmakings]

Not in person.

Elfs are very pretty. I mean--Elves?

[stillhope]

[She gives a small laugh in response, her head dipping slightly.]

Who have you spoken with?
