[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.]

[It might take a little more than a day but still. There won't be must rest or hesitation.]

I will. You be safe as well.

[bythewaves]

Let me know when you are close, and I will bring her - I need to travel by moonlight, but the Station is an easy location, and I can be anywhere within its bounds.

[silvergift]

I will. My horse will understand my need for haste. And if the moon is not risen by the time I get there, I will have time to get rooms for Arwen. The mark of the traveler is proving more useful than I first thought.

[A brief pause and, as much as she hates the very thought of it, she adds:] Would you arm her? I know you would keep her safe but it will ease my heart and mind knowing she has a weapon.

[ Maglor bites his lip but nods slowly ]

If that is your will, then aye, I will see it done. She is trained in their use then?

[silvergift]

She knows enough, I would think, to defend herself.

[After Celebrìan's attack, she's sure her entire family brushed up on sword play or how to use a knife or bow.] Thank you again, uncle. It means a great deal to me.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor nods ] Then I will see it done. And tis no trouble, Celebrian - you know that.

[silvergift]

I know but that does not make me any less thankful for it.

[bythewaves]

[ He smiles gently back ]

It will be well, Celebrian. I will take care of her. You need never thank me - what you have done in accepting me is a gift beyond price.

[silvergift]

I know that you will. [She'll thank him whenever she feels thanks are necessary.]

You have proven time and again here that you are worth my acceptance.

[bythewaves]

[ An almost shy bow ]

May I never prove otherwise.

[silvergift]

I am sure you will be fine. I will see you and Arwen soon.

[bythewaves]

Until then, little niece.

[silvergift]

I will see you soon, uncle.
