*BP stepped into the inn and removed her black cloack and set it to hang on a seat near the bar. She noticed her dear fiancee and the Lady Ara sitting next to one another having a chat. She graced them both with a smile and said* "Good day to you both! And what marry conversation have we here? Shall we talk of weddings? For Tinaldor and I have already set the date. What of you and Austin? Will the two of you be married soon as well?"

*BP smiled widely at Ara* "Perhaps I will swell with the same pride you have Lady Ara. I would give anything to have an heir to my kingdom, an heir to my hopes and dreams. Like any ruler, I wish to have a legacy. A part of me that will not end. I may be immortal...but who knows? One day someone might be able to wound me enough that life ends. And if I have no children... what will become of my kingdom?"

Ara spoke softly:"I bear no pride in the face of you my lady Melkora.only respect as a friend and a sister.I have no ill will towards you dear.nor towards Tinaldor.I do not bear the pride and the honor of my position with ease..I am a soldier in a rulers place of power.and you have my daughter,my son,we are bonded to Tinaldor in our own ways,you by heart,me by blood and our children.you will not be alone my friend.and you are not.I would do anything to help you,you know it."she met Bp's eyes her's a soft blue,a sign of her recent worries and doubts.her hand trembled slightly,she had not been sleeping well at all lately.her dreams and awakenings troubled.

With all the people milling around the Inn, Ikali was careful that her hood was fully covering her face and hiding her identity, although her hight gave away that she was a mere 7 years old. Elven eyes swept over the inhabitants of the Inn, curiously trying to work out what they were all doing here. She knew it was none of her business, but the child had nothing better to do. Her eyes settled on an elf (Ara) who looked strangely familiar. And a lot like herself actually. And this disturbed her. She had no relatives apart from the ones she left in Mirkwood. And they would never find her! Deciding to take action, she boldly got up from the table and sidled around till she was behind Ara. She wanted to get a close look at the older elf, which was no good being behind. Quietly coming around the front of her, she stood there looking at her, brow drawn in concentration trying to remember her.

Ara's eyes met those of the little elf in front of her.(Ikali) she felt a sense of knowing this one as she would have done with her daughters.then it clicked in her mind and she fought not to lose hold on consciousness.Rhae....could it be Rhae?they said she died at birth..I was too weak then...I almost died from blood loss...oh Elbereth..she has my eyes..her fathers...oh gods..I didn't know I was pregnant with her untill it was too late..and far to dangerous to turn back...Ara forced herself to breath and keep steady.she felt like she was going to faint or burst into tears her hand was flat on the table top.it trembled visibly.she spoke in Sindarin:"Mae Govannen mellon nin,are you in need of help?"her voice was softer than usual,quietly asking are you her?are you Rhae?are you my daughter?she looked at Tinaldor and Bp.her eyes showing something of her past she had never let show before.

As their eyes met, it seemed even more to Ikali that she knew this elf. It puzzled her, how could she be from Mirkwood, if she was, she would have taken her away now. Seeing that the elf Ara was upset, near to crying it seemed, Ikali was unsure what to do and took a step back. Never at home had she been allowed to cry, the King said it was a sign of weakness. But then the voice, it seemed so familiar. Taking steps forward until she was right at the table, she looked at Ara even more closely. The child didn't speak to anyone, and often times communicated by writting things or with gestures, but she was too curious to remember to do either things. Without thought, she lowered her hood, leaning over the table to touch Ara's hand gently. Her head to one side, looking all the more curious, she wanted to speak to her. Yet she had been silent for years, could she still talk?

Ara felt the child's hand touch hers and she spoke a single whispered word:"Rhae?"the young elf seemed so familiar.she studied the elf,she looked so much like Ara had at that age.

Rhae? Where had she heard that before. She was positive she had heard it. In reply, she shrugged, unsure of Ara's meaning for the word. Was she speaking of her..name..perhaps? Hadn't she always been Ikali? So confused as to what was going on, the child took a seat opposite Ara and just simply continued to look at her. She was told as a young child that she had an unnerving stare, but then again, she looked at people to judge their character and see if they were friendly. It seemed Ara was, which was the reason Ikali's weapons stayed well hidden. She didn't want to scare anyone anyway.

Ara smiled softly and then touched the child's hand again.and pulled a piece of parchment from a cloak pocket and wrote using a piece of soft lead: what is your name?mine is Aroura.

*BP thingyed her brow at the look an Ara's face. She saw Ara staring intently at the tiny elf who had just entered. They were both staring so intensely at one another. BP held out her hand to the little elf, as gently as she could, and said* "Well met, friend. I have yet to see you here in Rivendell. Tell me dear, are you really as young as I think you are, or is it just that eternal youth that elves possess tricking me again?"

Watching as Ara wrote on a piece of paper, Ikali read it quickly and then took the pencil to reply. I'm Ikali Greenleaf. Do I know you? You seem familiar. She wrote in reply. Pushing the paper and pencil back at Ara, she looked around. It was then that she noticed BP. Seeing her hold out her hand and speaking to her. Ikali looked at the hand, then back at BP. She was indeed as young as she seemed, and she proved this by removing her cloak and revealing her young, childlike features. She held up 7 fingers to show that that was her age.
