She smiled back at him, and seemed herself. "It's fine, you get some sleep," she said. "I have her."
Two hours later he woke, to find her still holding Laur. The babe had already gone to sleep, but she had her legs folded up, and Laur resting on the makeshift cradle. She was just staring at her, her eyes gleaming.

"What's wrong," he whispered, and gently touched her hand. "Moonlight..." he sat up, careful to focus on her face, and not let his eyes wander.
OOC no he's not a pervert he's a married man! BIC
"I'll but Laur to bed..."

She ignored him. "Her name shall be Lalaithiel," she said. "For she is always happy. And will be, for it will end like that." She turned to Glauron. "Glauron, we can't let them have her. Her or her brother," she said. "If they get her, she will no longer be laughing and cheerful. They will change her, make her into something ugly and sinister. We can't let that happen!"
She raised her right hand. She had been hiding it, concealing what she held in it, but now Glauron saw the glint of light off of steel as she raised one of her twin knives. "We can't let them have her!" she cried again.
OOC: Lalaithiel = "happy maiden; laughing maiden"

He sat up and took her hand. "No one will take her from us," he whispered. "No one, not Lalaithiel, nor Cali..." He wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and gently took the blade. "It will be fine, if we stay strong, and in Rivendell... I promise you."

She struggled against him, and would not let go of the blade. "But, Glauron, they're all around us!" she all but cried. "They will take her! We can't let that happen! Glauron, listen to me!! We can't let that happen!!!" Her eye flashed with anger, deep sadness, and insanity.

He took a deep breath, and kissed her gently. "You're not surronded by them love," he told her. "You're surronded by those that love you... the only thing even the slightest orc is Naru," he whispered. "And he's just a baby... we all want to help you... but you're not letting us."

She turned to him, mad now. "That's what you want me to believe!" she cried. "But they're everywhere, Glauron! They were in Edoras -- why not Rivendell?!" She shook her head. "No, I will not be fooled again! I will not!"

"I'm not fooling you," he whispered holding back tears. "I'm trying to help you, love...Moonlight, listen to me... please. They are no in Rivendell because no one here would let them come. Not one elf here would help them get you, or us, and we have every power not to let them. Bows, swords, Elrond's power. This place is nearly as safe as the Golden Wood! Rohan is not, it is human's land..." he turned her face to look at him. "Ithy... you're safe here, you're home. Elrond, is a high elf, he could not be corrupted by anything short of the Valar."

His words, as well as her daughter's cries (she had gotten upset over her parents yelling), finally got to Ithilwen. She let him take the knife from her, reluctantly almost, and sat there dazed, staring at her daughter. "Perhaps they already have," she said, clutching Lalaithiel to her and turning to sob into her husband's chest.

"They haven't," he whispered. "And that Valar would never want to hurt you, dispite your Noldor blood... you had nothing to do with the Kingslaying, and they weren't to interfer..." he kissed her gently. "Moonlight, believe me, you're safe at home."

She didn't believe him, not yet, but she did relax into him, even allowing him to put his arms around her. Finally, she cried herself to sleep.

He cried with her, and kissed her forehead, staying awake, long after she had fallen asleep. He loved her, and wanted her back. Wanted the Ithilwen who scemed trying to get them wed, even if it didn't work. He wanted his wife back. Lalaithiel fussed and he picked her up, placing her back in bed with Cali, wiping tears from his cheeks, and smiling at his babes.
After singing for a few moments, he went back to Ithilwen, wrappin his arms around her.

Ithilwen panicked for a moment, feeling arms close around her, holding her and capturing her, but then saw that it was only Glauron. She settled farther into his embrace, and went back to sleep. The morning would come soon enough, now was time to rest.

He slept until the sun peaked over the horizon ad into their bedroom falling on their faces and casting away the comforting darkness of night. "Morning, Moonlight," he whispered, still half asleep, and forgetting she wasn't herself. He laid a kiss on her ear and rested his head on her shoulder.

His contact woke her up, and for a moment she was too tired to be anything but Ithilwen. But then she woke up all the way, feeling someone wrapped around her, kissing her ear and resting his head on her shoulders. She feared the worse, feeling trapped, and immediately began to struggle wildly and scream like a banshee.
