*has had a lot of time over the past week to think about life and her feelings and the way her actions affect other people*

*feels particularly bad about one thing*

*decides she's well enough to go have a talk with Beren*

*waits until everyone's gone to bed for the night, dresses, sneaks out, and heads into the woods, towards the general direction of their last meeting*

...

*realizes after some time that she has no idea what she's looking for, she's traveled much further than she originally intended, and she's not nearly so well as she though*

*eventually comes upon a little cabin in a misty glade*

*breaths a sigh of relief and goes inside*

Current Mood: tired

*is actually fast asleep in an armchair next to the empty fireplace*
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 11:19:57  

*sees you asleep when she comes in and stops moving, just watching you*

*stands around for a bit before deciding she should go home and come back another time*

*starts to turn around and leave but feels her knees give out*

Maybe if I lay down for a few minutes my head will stop hurting and I can go.

*shuffles around the room for a bit before deciding just to lie down on the bed, since it's not like you're using it*

...*immediately falls asleep*
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 11:26:56  

*wakes up, a couple of hours later, feeling pretty cold*

*sits bolt upright when he realises he's not alone*

*stands up and sees you lying on his bed*

*wonders if he's still asleep*

*whispers* Tinúviel?
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 11:29:34  

*is laying curled up on her side fast asleep*

*stirs a little when she hears her name*

Hmm.....

*falls right back to sleep*
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 11:31:13  

*walks over and sits on the edge of the bed*

*gently pushes your hair back from your face, trembling very slightly* Tinúviel? Time to wake up.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 11:33:40  

*turns towards your touch*

*yawns*

*blinks her eyes open*

*spends a few moments staring at you sleepily before sitting upright in bed*

*puts a hand to her head* I fell asleep.
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 12:13:15  

*nods* You did.

*thoughtfully* While you look a great deal better than you did last time I saw you -- are you sure you should have left Delving? You look exhausted, Tinúviel.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 12:16:28  

*runs her fingers through her hair because she's worried she looks bad*

*leans back against the wall* I wasn't tired when I left. But. I guess it was a longer walk than I thought and I wasn't as well as I thought.

you look a great deal better than you did last time I saw you

*has no clue what that's referring to, unless you're talking about how her eyes swell up when she cries*
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 12:26:35  

You need a cup of tea. *stands up and puts on the kettle*

*stares at the steam rising for a few minutes before turning around*

*leans back against the kitchen counter* What brings you here?
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 12:30:14  

*draws her knees up to her chest and sits uncomfortably, watching you while you work*

*isn't really sure what to say* *is beginning to think this might have been a bad idea*

What brings you here?

*finally!* *clears her throat and shifts around a bit* I, uh. I-- I wanted to apologize. For the things I said. I was angry, but not at you, and it was uncalled for.
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 12:41:25  

*takes a deep breath* That's OK. I-- *realises he doesn't know what to say*

*finishes making the tea (exactly the way you like it) and hands you a mug*

*conversationally* I keep meaning to buy matching cutlery and crockery but I've not quite managed it yet.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 12:44:01  

*warms her hands with the mug and takes a careful sip*

*sighs happily and leans her head back*

*laughs a little* I thought only my mother worried about whether the knives matched the spoons or not.

*watches you moving around closely and really hopes you don't notice that she's watching you*
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 12:50:59  

*smiles* Oh, I guess I was just well-trained, or something. *glances over his shoulder at you briefly*

*wipes up a few plates on the draining board and starts opening and closing cupboard doors* I don't really have much to offer by way of food. Are you hungry?
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 12:57:41  

*meets your eyes for a moment and smiles into her cup*

I'm not really hungry, no. *remembers what she was taught* But thank you for asking.

*starts to move to get up* I'm putting you out. You should be in bed, not taking care of me.
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 13:03:09  

*turns around and holds up a warning finger* Now, now. You're the one who has been ill and who has walked all the way out here. You're not putting me out, remotely, except for making me seem like the worst host ever.

*walks back over to the bed and sits down again* *softly* Please, Tinúviel. You do need your rest.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 13:06:35  

*settles back down* *really didn't want to leave anyway*

*smiles a little* Well, then. I'll stay. But only so you don't look like the worst host ever. *glances around and laughs* In the eyes of all those woodland creatures.

*looks at you for a few seconds before feeling very shy and staring down into her cup*
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 13:19:19  

Well, let me tell you that you have done wonders for my poor ego. *smiles gently*

It is good to see you again, Tinúviel.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 13:31:19  

*really doesn't know what to say to that*

*lightly* Well, I know how you were wanting to win that Homemaker of the Year award and all.

*bites her lip* *stares at your hand*
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 15:06:10  

It's true. I think it'd look great on the mantelpiece, don't you?

*reaches out and touches your cheek* *shakes his head in wonder* Tinúviel. You're alive.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 15:12:14  

*giggles* It would add a little something to the place.

*freezes when you touch her* *feels a little lightheaded, and not from the fever*

*breathless* You were expecting something different?
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 15:24:18  

Yeah, a touch of class, I'd like to think?

*shakes his head* Oh, no. I believed in your strength to overcome this but when I saw you there? I was terrified that you'd not make it.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 15:28:49  

*looks over at you, confused*

*curiously* 'When you saw me there'? When did you see me? How did you see me without getting killed?
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 15:36:06  

*rubs the back of his neck* Your mother may have helped me. I had to see you, Tinúviel. I -- I know I don't have the right but I was scared.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 15:39:30  

Oh. I must have been asleep. I did that a lot. *can't help but smile a little* I guess my mother's a good ally to have.

*looks at you a little curiously* She really does like you, doesn't she?
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 16:12:42  

*shrugs, a bit bashfully* I guess she does? More than your father does, anyway.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 16:14:24  

*says it without realizing* You must be something special, then.

*immediately blushes*
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 17:12:33  

*laughs softly* No accounting for taste, hm?

*reaches for your hand and squeezes your fingers gently* We should think about getting you home, hm?
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 17:17:30  

*laces her fingers with yours*

*nods slowly* Yeah... yeah, you're probably right. It's getting late. Or early. You know how my dad is. *pauses* I guess you really do know how he is, huh?
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 17:47:28  

*laughs a little* I know exactly how he is and I wouldn't bring his wrath down on me for anything less than you, Tinúviel.

*holds your fingers up to her lips and kisses them lightly* *lets your hand go and stands up* Do you have a coat? Or do you want to borrow one of my two sweaters?
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 17:52:49  

I have a coat. *frowns as she realizes she actually wants to wear one of your shirts and has no idea why*

*gets up and puts her coat on*

...*hopes you're going with her but doesn't want to ask considering all the trouble she's been and how on edge she feels right now*
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 18:00:47  

*pulls on both of his sweaters, in that case!*

*opens the door for you and offers you his arm* Will my lady allow me to escort her off the premises?
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 18:05:47  

*smiles and relaxes a bit*

That would be... nice acceptable. Yes.

*gently takes your arm*
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 18:17:01  

*smiles and relaxes a lot*

*talks as they walk along* I like the woods at night time. It reminds me of when I met you, you know? The first time round, I mean.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 18:22:13  

Right. *really has very little clue what you're talking about but isn't going to let on, especially since she's actually having a really good time* I've always liked the woods at night. I've never really cared too much for the sun. I mean, I do like it now, but we lived for so long without it that it never really seemed necessary. *glances over at you* All the really interesting things come out at night anyway.
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 18:26:53  

Well, I used to be a fugitive. An outlaw. *shrugs* I suppose I still am. Anyway, I prefer night-time. You don't need anymore than the light of the stars to guide you.
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 18:28:22  

I... couldn't agree more. *looks up towards the sky and goes quiet*
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 18:43:55  

*looks over at you and smiles*
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 18:48:11  

*stays quiet until they reach the edge of the woods*

*awkwardly* You probably shouldn't go any further, huh?
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 18:54:03  

Probably not. No. *leans down and presses a kiss to your forehead*

But that won't stop me. I want to see you to your door. *continues on down the path to the city*
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 18:59:25  

Okay. *is sort of breathless*

*gets to the palace* You really can't go any farther and still be in one piece. And I want you in one piece. *looks up at you*
From: [info]berencamlost Date: 03/03/2007 19:15:21  

*smiles at you* Goodnight, then, my Tinúviel.

*brushes his lips over yours ever so softly*

Goodnight. *turns and goes back to the woods*
From: [info]luthiekins Date: 03/03/2007 19:17:53  

*watches you go and then stands there for a while, unsure of what exactly she's supposed to do* *about anything*

*finally just goes back inside and goes to bed*
