Well This Sucks (lol)

[Mariana]

Mariana had been away for years indulging herself with romance, scandal, and well just screwing up her life. Now She was pregnant with a humans child. Making it back to Rivendell had been tricky but finally she made it on a warm bright day which completely contrasted to her mood. Though she had a horse and didn't have to walk it had been a pain to take care of. But she was loyal so she dealt with her. Making it to rivendell Mariana dismounted and led it to Ithilwen's house. She knocked on the door after tyeing her horse to a low tree branch. She waited nervously.

Rodwen answered the door, took one look at Mariana, and shut the door. For all appearances, Mariana looked to have been left, but then Ithilwen came to the door. "When Rodwen told me who was at the door, I couldn't believe it!" she said, smiling at her friend. "How are you?!"

[Mariana]

Mariana smiled taking in Ithilwen, she had changed, Mariana sensed she had gone through some terrible events but decided not to mention it.
"Oh I'm fine, alive so I have nothing to complain about"

[Caitlin]

Ithilwen smiled. "Aren't we all?" she asked. Then, she saw Mariana's belly, and her face lit up with joy for her friend. "Oh, Mariana!" she said. "Who's the lucky man?" She assumed Mariana was married. It was very rare for an Elf to copulate and not be married -- the very act was considered marriage, more so than any ceremony or ring.

[Mariana]

Mariana smiled uncomfortably
"Well, his name was Brannon. We met in a town out of Mirkwood and things just kind of developed from there."

Ithilwen smiled, until she realized the other Elf's wording. "His name was? What happened?"
