Ithilwen glared at Nimmir. "Nimmir!" she hissed under her breath. She was nervous, and wanted to play with her hair again. Actually, her hands went up several times, only to shoot back down, only to come creeping up from her nervousness for almost giving herself away, to be jerked down again. Really, she wished she had some of her hair dye.

She rose and eyebrow. "Yes?" she asked, with a yawn and settled herself down.

Ithilwen glared. "Ohhhh!" she said. She couldn't exactly complain that her friend had almost given her away, now could she?

Faelien raised an eyebrow slightly at their behavior. "Umm...were you there or something?"

Ithilwen blushed. "What makes you say that?" she asked, blushing more, and looking everywhere but at Faelien. Her hand went up to her hair again.

"Well, isn't it kind of ovbious?" Faelien asked, crossing her arms. "Clearly the girl was a close friend of yours, or a relative, and I apologize for insulting you or her." She smiled as if she had accomplished something. But seeing a look from Ithilwen, her smile faded, and she corrected herself. "Or maybe....it was you!!" she jumped up.

Ithilwen's face gave it away -- surprise with horror. She had so wanted to keep it out of general knowledge who she was! She opened her mouth, ready to hedge, before closing it again, and shrugging. Yeah, it was her -- no point in denying it! The secret was out. And now . . . she didn't like this thought . . . would Glauron finally find out the names of the parties responsible?

Seeing the look of horror on Ithilwen's face, Faelien became puzzled. "Ummm...I was only kidding. But now I really do know that it was you...goodness, what did you do to anger the marchwarden?"

Ithilwen made interesting patterns in the dust with her slippered toe. "I . . . umm . . . well, that is . . . I snuck in," she said, wincing. It had been a stupid idea at the beginning, and sounded even worse now.

Túveren sat back down, a look of clear suprise on her face. "That's it?!" she asked, laughing. "Oh goodness, that it ridiculous! I mean, wow. I would like to congratulate you on getting past them---it's a difficult task. But may I ask, why?"

Ithilwen shrugged. "It was to be my last time out of Rivendell before my marriage," she said. "I just wanted to have fun, without the Lord and Lady breathing down my neck, always wondering where I was and was I safe and did I have what I needed and . . . you know. If I had just gone through normally, that's exactly what would have happened. So, I snuck in."
She winced. "It was almost perfect. But, at the last minute, they caught a glimpse of my silver hair -- I had been careless with it. So, they started to search the city for a silver-haired maiden. Then, they had a hard time finding me. So, being the famous Marchwarden, and male to boot, they decided that they had a reputation to keep, and no female was going to take it away from them! Things got out of hand, and snowballed quickly, until . . ." she gestured. "You probably know the rest!"

Faelien shook her head, sighing. "That I believe I do. But that's men for you. The gender I mean."

Ithilwen laughed. "Yes, it is," she said, shaking her head. She wondered how badly Galadriel had punished the offenders -- and hoped she wasn't too harsh. She honestly believed that Haldir, at least, had learned his lesson.

Nimmir shrugged but was smiling smugly. "I hope he carried that saddle on his back..." she whispered and shook her head, laughing smugly.

"So you were involved as well I presume?" Faelien asked, turning to Nimmir.
