Naru sucked in breath, surprised. "Ithilwen's alive?" he said. "And a cousin ... like myself? Like myself how?" He then saw her stomach, and again sucked in breath. "A new ... sister?!"

She nodded. "Apparently, someone lied... and she was raped..." she looked away and bit at her lip. "I don't reccommend making your presence known..." she sucked in her breath and nodded.
"Yes," she whispered. "A sister."

He reeled from all this information. "Raped?" he said. "And ... oh, Nana, how wonderful!" He smiled, but wanted to see her reaction. "Is it ... Errie's?"

She blinked. "Yes, your cousin, has your eyes." She folded her arms and nodded. "Of course it's Eramrath's," she whispered. "Of course it is..."

He blinked, the information was coming too fast. "Has ... my eyes?" he asked. "You mean, red?" He blinked again. "Is he ... Elvish-looking?"

"She," she whispered. "You're cousin, is elvish looking, but she has red eyes." She leaned against the window frame and bit her lip.
"Can you tell me... why did you leave me?"

He nodded, leaning back in the chair and closed his eyes, satisfied that his cousin was at least elvish looking. "Why did I leave?" He sat up, and looked at her. "I ... couldn't take it any more. Nana, there were grown Elves making fun of me. Grown Elves! I ... I hated it. Why couldn't they just accept me for who I am!!!" He was starting to get upset, raising his voice, and realized it. He looked up, closing his eyes, breathing, trying to calm down. "Din offered me a better life, where I wouldn't be discriminated against."

"Then why are you here?" she whispered and closed her eyes. "Why are you in Rivendell, when you had such a good life?" she whispered. "A maid who loved you... so Laur told me... and a home, and servants... why are you here in your mother's house."

He looked her in the eye. "Because, Nana, I just couldn't life with what I had done."

She looked down. "Then what do you plan on doing here?" she whispered. "It won't just all go away," she whispered and cried. "I love you, but even I have some hard time forgiving you...." she kissed his head and sighed. "I love you, still."

He bristled. "What do you mean? What have I done?" he shouted. "I did nothing! I helped Din and Vanmoriel kidnap my cousins, but that would have been done with or without me!" He gestured toward her slightly-bulging belly. "Anyway, it looks like you've already moved on," he snapped, sarcastic and bitter.

"No, but you didn't have to," she whispered and looked up at him. He was taller and bigger than she. She folded her arms over her stomach.
"And this was a result of my husband. Not planned... it just happened."

He shook his head. "It doesn't matter," he said. "I can see that I'm still not accepted here." He got up to leave.

Nimmir stood up and blocked the door. "You are the one who left me," she whispered and touched his face. "I always loved you..."

He slapped her hand away. He felt hurt, very hurt. "No, you did not!" he said. "You pretended to love me, but in the end ... in the end, you were just like everyone else."
