Naru yawned and then laughed looking at Ithilwen, and the crying baby. Nimmir looked down at him terrified. She looked up, and prayed that Ithilwen hadn't noticed. Glauron rocked his son, and kissed his forehead, and gently touched Laur's forehead.

Ithilwen heard the laugh, but didn't take offense. Instead, she stared at the babe, as if the sound he had made was alien and amazing. Glauron kissed Laur's forehead, and Ithilwen jumped.

"What?" he asked, and kept his hand on her's. She had been so much better too! Nearly herself, even speaking like Ithilwen again. This just ruined it. He trembled and ran a hand throuh Cali's black hair.

Elrond shook his head. "It has been a big day," he said. "Glauron, why don't you get Ithilwen to bed?"
He took Nimmir aside. "Where is Túveren?" he asked her.

"I don't know," she whispered to Glauron and shook her head. "I think she left after she dropped Ithy off..."

Elrond nodded. "Well, that's unfortunate," he said, putting his hand up to his arm where Ithilwen had cut him, to stop the little bleeding left.
But Ithilwen saw it. "Wait!" she cried, from where she was being escorted out by Glauron. "Why do you have that cut there? If this is home, why do you have a wound in the same place I cut the Orc?!"

Glauron jumped and shook his head and took a deep breath, turning away. Nimmir rose an eyebrow. "This is Elrond," she whispered "It has to be..."

Elrond shook his head. Lovely. They had had her convinced, too . . . "Tell me what I can do to convince you," he asked of Ithilwen. She shook her head. There was nothing.
He sighed. "Tell you what, why don't you go with Glauron and get a good night's sleep. We'll work this out in the morning."

Glauron offered his arm and looked at her longinly. "I'll sleep in the chair if you want," he whisepred and looked at her and took a deep breath.

She was tempted. But, even in her madness, she had a hard time believing that this wasn't Glauron. Warped, perhaps, twisted against her, but still Glauron. Or maybe he didn't understand. Yes, she thought that much more likely. They had probably tricked him somehow into betraying her, into leading her to them. And he was either still under their trickery or in denial. "No, that's okay," she whispered back. No matter what, she had to believe that he still loved her. And she wanted him with her, holding her protectively.

He smiled softly and nodded to them. "Nimmir... you have your room as always... but please keep Naru's teeth away from Cali..." He sighed. The two babes didn't like each other. Always fussing when the other came around.
He took Ithilwen's hand, and kissed it. He still held his son in one arm, and she held Laur. "You still have yet to choose the mother name, moonlight," he whispered and smiled walking into their room, and busying himself with Cali.

Ithilwen smiled at his use of her nickname, and watched him prepare Cali for bed, and started to do the same for Laur. She cooed at her daughter, loving her. For a moment, she was herself, smiling at her daughter and her husband with only love in her eyes.
But she was tired. After she finished with Laur, she went and curled up in bed.

He smiled softly, and changed his tunic, and laid down next to her. He was trying to be soft, gentle and himself at the same time. He wanted his Ithy back. He wanted to push the slave out of her, andthey had been progressing so nicely... then this. Oh he was going to kill that human for doing this to her.
"Night, Moonlight."

"Goodnight, Sunshine," she whispered back, too asleep to be anything but herself.
She woke in the night to cries. She started, looked around panicked, then realized it was just one of the babies crying for attention. Softly, she got out of bed and brought Laur back, putting her pillow against the headboard for back support, and started to nurse.

Glauron woke at the cries, and looked up smiling gently. He rolled onto his back, eyes closed and head sinking into the pillow. "I can look after Laur if you need me to, Love," he whispered and opened an eye briefly.
