Before LotR
Ithilwen sat on a bench in her garden. It had been weeks since she had made her way back to Rivendell. All her physical wounds had healed . . . well, as much as they were going to. But she still became very depressed at times.

Scowling, Túveren pushed past the twins. They would not keep her from Ithilwen. Still giving her looks, they turned around and gave up.
Túveren rushed through the garden. There----she spotted a patch of silver. "Ithilwen!"

Ithilwen turned toward the sound -- with her right side, of course. She saw her friend, and smiled. "Túveren!" she cried, but made sure her hood covered her severed hair and cast her left eye in shadow.

Túveren kneeled down before the bench. "I heard terrible, terrible rumors. I just had to come, to see if they were true!"

Ithilwen sighed. "It depends," she said, "on the rumors. What did you hear?" She adjusted her hood so even more of her face was in shadow. She was embarassed by her humiliation!

"You know what Ithilwen---they've been all over Rivendell, and Aragorn knows!" Tuveren exclaimed. Too late did she realize that perhaps she could have been a little calmer.

Ithilwen bowed her head. "Yes, they're true," she admitted. A tear dropped from her good eye -- the other couldn't cry. Everyone knew of her humiliation? "What are people saying about it?"

Túveren lowered her eyes. "As a friend, I have not the heart to tell." Silence. After a moment, she broke it. "But the hair! I--it'll grow back. I mean, you have years and years to grow it. It's fine!" she blurted out.

"Yes," Ithilwen said, still not exposing her head. She knew for a fact that none of the rumors mentioned her eye -- Elrond had seen to at least that!
OOC: gotta have something to surprise Túveren!

BIC: "Are you hiding anything else?" Tuveren asked, looking up. Ithilwen's face was in the shadows. "If it's just a few scars, it's not a big deal."
OOC: O' course! Wasn't gunna have her know everything.

OOC: Good! lol! BIC: Ithilwen turned her head, so her bad eye was even farther from her friend. "Why does it matter?" she asked.

"Exactly Ithilwen. It doesn't matter," Túveren said, blinking as she sat down on the grass.

Ithilwen sighed. "So, did you just come here to see if the rumors were true?" she asked.

"No," she said flatly. "I came to see if you were alright. I was worried!"

Ithilwen smiled. "Thank you, Túveren," she said. "You're a good friend!"
A breeze picked up and caught in her hood, opening it slightly. Ithilwen put a hand to her left side and turned away, before Túveren could see anything.
