Ithilwen looked around. Where was Glauron?
Then Elrond came in. "Ithilwen, welcome home!" he said.

"We were worried... how was your trip? You left my site when you reached the mountains..." he sighed and opened his arms, as if ready for a hug.

Ithilwen looked back and forth, between Elrond and Nimmir, very confused. Laur started to fuss again, and she tried to comfort her, not easy with another infant in her arms.
Then, suddenly, she burst out in tears. "Oh, Elrond, it happened again!" she cried, clutching both twins (who had also begun to cry).

Nimmir took her son and her brother's and left Laur in Ithilwen's arms. Elrond hugged her and patted her back.
"Were you hurt?" he asked softly. "Raped..." he rocked her bath and forth, kissing her forehead. "Nimmir, will you go fetch Glauron?" Nimmir wiped a tear from her eyes and shook her head.
"I have to nurse Naru," she said, which recieved a small glare, and she nodded and left, leaving Cali with a servant, taking her son with her.

She shook her head. "I . . . I don't remember," she confessed. All she remembered were Men, who turned into Orcs . . . and her knives. "I tried to defend myself, with the knives, but just couldn't! So I tried to . . . tried to . . . I couldn't let them do it again! But they were too fast. They were too fast." She sobbed into his shoulder.

He shussed her and rocked back and forth. "It's alright, my dear," he told her. "You're scaring your daughter..." He rocked Ithilwen gently, trying to calm her. "Calm down... there's no new blood... no new scars...do you think you were raped? Try to think..."

She shook her head, mournfully, trying to remember. "I . . . I don't know!" she cried. "I can't remember!" Then she remembered something . . . a Human. "Túveren!" she said. "She was there, too! She got hurt . . . a gash, on her arm . . . so much blood . . . she might know!"

Nimmir came walking in with her brother. Glauron took Ithilwen in his arms and kissed her gently, and Laur clung to her father's tunic, her small hands wrapped aroudn the fabric.
"I was worried," he whispered, and cupped her cheek and he sighed, and took Cali from the servant. "I was going to come looking withe the twins... Elrond's twins."

She started at his touch, then turned to him. "Oh, Glauron!" she said, transfering from Elrond to Glauron, sobbing into his hair.

Glauron gently wrapped his arms around her. "Shh... you're home now... home with us..." He rocked her back and forth.
Nimmir touched her shoulder and took the twins, holding all three infants. It was alright by her, they were all small. The twins premature and Naru only a few weeks old.

"I . . . I can't remember anything!" she cried into his shoulder. "Nothing! But the Humans and Túveren!"

Glauron's eyes narrowed. "Humans?" he asked, looking up and took a deep breath. Nimmir shook her head and took a deep breath.
"Ithilwen," she whispered. "I don't think Tuv would do anything to hurt us..."

She shook her head. "No, she was there too!" she said. "She got hurt. Bad." She shook her head. "I don't remember!" she cried. "Just the blood on her arm . . . so much blood . . ."

Nimmir rocked her back and forth. "I'm sure she's fine..." she whisepred, and kissed her forehead. "We survived, we're home..."

Ithilwen nodded. "Yes," she said. "She probably is." But she was remembering the Orcs. Cali cried out, and Ithilwen jumped.
