It had been too long. Too long since she’d wandered through the woods, too long since she’d felt the grass beneath her bare feet.

Galadriel closed her eyes, letting the warm breeze blow back her hair, breathing in the first scents of spring. She placed a hand on each tree as she passed it, an almost affectionate gesture, making her way deeper into the forest.

At last, when the woods had begun to darken, the small amount of light filtering in through the canopy leaving them in a perpetual twilight, she stopped to rest and take in the stillness, unwilling to venture further- at least today.

I have been hunting in the woods since I was a child. [She looked around, her grey eyes bright.] They're where I feel at home.

[She looked back at Galadriel, before nodding her head once.] Yes.

[inafadingcrown]

Something we have in common, then. [Granted, it's a bit more of a literal home for her.]

I am sorry; the separation is not easy, particularly for the young.

[the_effect_she_has]

It's weird ... coming to a place so far from home, and finding so much in common with people. [She pushed her hair out of her face, thoughtful, before she looked down to the ground.]

Every day, it feels like there's something missing. Like my arm, or my leg. Or my heart. I turn, I look, but he's not there.

[inafadingcrown]

We remain here though our hearts are elsewhere, in the care of another. Yes, I understand.

[the_effect_she_has]

[She nodded her head, slowly. It didn't seem strange, that this woman... elf... woman would understand perfectly.]

[She pushed her hair out of her face with one hand, balancing her thatching.] My cabin is a little ways this way, if you want to rest. Maybe get some food and water. I only have what I've gathered, though.
