Laur nodded, and let herself be led away by Nimmir. She needed someone to baby her, and Nimmir was a very good fit.

Nimmir smiled and sighed. "So... are you happy to be back?" she whispered.

Laur nodded vigorously, smiling. "Yes!" she said. "I'm so happy to be home again!"

Nimmir nodded. "I'm glad you're back... it was lonley around here without you all..." She sighed. The bath was warm, and Nimmir sat Laur in the warm water. "I'll be back in a moment."

Laur sat in the water, waiting for her aunt's return, happy to be in warmth and clean water again. She smiled, and even splashed a little, then remembered the brand on her shoulder, and the other on her hip. She tried to drape her hair across her shoulder to hide it.

Nimmir came back and blinked. "What's this," she whispered, touching her brand, eyes watering.

Laur looked away from her. "A brand," she said, pretending great interest in the way a bubble had stuck to the side of the tub.

Nimmir looked up. "Naru's?" she asked and touched it gently and then shook her head.

Laur nodded. "That one is," she told her aunt. "But ... but he drugged me before he did it!"

"Still," she whispered and shook her head. "It shouldn't be there," she whispered. "Shouldn't use it for that."

Laur shrugged. "He had to," she said. "It was for a protection. And he didn't do it hard, so it will fade."

Nimmir shook her head. "That's mine," she whispered and sighed. "And this one... will this one fade too?"

Laur looked at her hip, to that one. "That one will, yes," she said. She didn't say any more.

Nimmir nodded and proceeded to wash her hiar. "How was he," she whispered softly.

Laur leaned back into her. That felt good! "He was ... distant, bitter," she said. "He feels like no one in Rivendell will accept him. That no one can see past his parentage."
