Hobbits are wonderfully delightful creatures. Lord Glorfindel told me some about them and I find it most remarkable that such tiny creatures have such strength and will inside them.

Merry's agreed to exchange stories of our descendents, Elenwë, for the building of his home. And so I have a new project! It has been a long time since I have been able to put my skill to use.

Though I have never built a Hobbit Hole, before.

	Wonderful! You will enjoy that. But what is a hobbit? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I am not even halfway certain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can I meet him with you sometime, perhaps? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-23 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	Yes! I expect you to be there to hear the stories of our descendents. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-04-23 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	Oh! I look forward to it very much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-23 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	As do I. They have done such amazing things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-04-23 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	Aye! As have you, and so many more. I have done little, but I am still proud for them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-23 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	You have done enough, and they shall be proud to know you when they come home. Though Arwen is lost to us all forever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-04-23 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	Not forever, perhaps. Have faith, melmenya. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-23 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps. I have hope, but hope is a flighty thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-04-24 12:00 am UTC (link)
	Is it? And yet not even Morgoth can destroy it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-24 12:03 am UTC (link)
	Try though he might. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-04-24 12:05 am UTC (link)
	And yet always fails. Even in the darkest times, hope guides the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-24 12:08 am UTC (link)
	Hope and light, yes. The light of Varda's stars. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-04-24 12:09 am UTC (link)
	Cling to it. It will see us through. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-24 12:10 am UTC (link)
	I will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-04-24 12:11 am UTC (link)
	Good! We should go find the flowers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-24 12:16 am UTC (link)
	What flowers? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-04-24 12:37 am UTC (link)
	The flowers that grow here, of course. They must be somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Indeed hobbits DO seem to be amazing creatures, truly, milord...! The very words he puts upon the screen seem to make it... glow with a special light, if you get my meaning? Honestly, I think he's just a ray of sunshine in our lives...!

But this talk of projects and such reminds me: when might you wish to come to the forest with me, to cut the wood you need from the tree which... I selected, or which selected ME, either-or...! I mean, they say the wand chooses the wizard (or witch, as well!) and thus... well, I'd like to think that tree chose ME...! Heh! Sorry, that probably sounds rather... fanciful to you, milord.

	You need but point it out to me, Auror Selwyn, then my kinswoman and I will bring the wood forth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Indeed? ~~Bring it forth, how, exactly?~~ All right, then, but I... would have to take you into the forest again, to be sure it was the right tree, after all, milord...! I mean, I can't merely say "that linden tree by the creek!" because A) there was no creek anywhere near my chosen tree, and B) I'm not sure it's even a Linden...! I sort of... deliberately failed out of Herbology, back in school! Heh! (Sorry!)

	turukano 2013-04-24 12:22 am UTC (link)
	Certainly. When you are prepared, Auror Selwyn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cover_story 2013-04-24 12:30 am UTC (link)
	Indeed? Well... I wouldn't want to tear you away from your wife, now... but... I am ready to set out - y'know, whenever...! And please... just call me "Mary", milord...! I don't need any grand title! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-24 12:34 am UTC (link)
	Very well, in the morning three hours after the sun rises, Auror Selwyn. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-04-24 12:38 am UTC (link)
	My husband is not tied to my side, dear. Take him, if you will, just be sure that you bring him back when you are finished. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-24 12:41 am UTC (link)
	Then you'll be content to find the flowers on your own? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-04-24 12:42 am UTC (link)
	Aye, if you are busy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-24 12:44 am UTC (link)
	Ah! Then go. Find the flowers and I shall join the lady in the Woods. We'll meet after and lay the plans for Merry's Hobbit Home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-04-24 12:50 am UTC (link)
	I shall not pick them, though. But I shall find them and take you to see them later, or perhaps - yes, I shall take my sketch book and draw them for you. Enjoy yourself, meldanya. Tenn' enquetielva! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-24 12:52 am UTC (link)
	Take the sketch book, and paint for me the reality of each bloom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-04-24 12:54 am UTC (link)
	I will. Although Yavanna is a thousand times the artist I am, when it comes to flowers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turukano 2013-04-24 12:55 am UTC (link)
	And Aulë a far better craftsman. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-04-24 01:01 am UTC (link)
	Aye! But I think perhaps we are judging ourselves too harshly if we judge ourselves by their standards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Competing with Gods. Of course we shall always lose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fëanáro would not think so! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	As the lady says, I am free to join you now. (Reply to this) (Parent)
