A girl appeared suddenly from behind a pillar, walking hesitantly toward the group. Larael turned to her and smiled.
"Hello, I'm Larael. Who are you?"

Melda smiled shyly and came forward. "Meldawen - pleased to meet you! I, um, I was listening to you ttalk about leaving, and I wondered if you had room for one more person."

"Welcome Meldawen! Of course we have room for you," Larael said ushering her into the circle of people," The more the merrier."

[I have this funny tendancy to get behind ]

Luthien greeted Darrell and Melda happily, glad to have such a large group, although the guys might complain. "Well, if we are all in agreement, I say we go get our supplies right away. We should leave well before dark."

"You said: I know that this will hurt, but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse..."

Elenriel turned toward the group and slowly approached them then. "Excuse me." she said quietly. "My name is Elenriel. I would like to travel with you as well-if you do not mind."

Luthien smiled at the newcomer. "Greetings, Elenriel! We shall be glad to have you along for the ride. The more the merrier!" She shot a glance at their guide, but he seemed rather absorbed with talk of armour.

"You said: I know that this will hurt, but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse..."

Elenriel smiled at the maiden before her. "Thank you. I am looking forward to our journeys. Do you know what other lands we will visit?"

"Too early yet to determine that, I suppose," she replied, "As of now Rohan is our goal."

"You said: I know that this will hurt, but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse..."

Melda grinned, imagining Rohan in her mind's eye. Suddenlu she looked worried. "But what about Grima? Won't he be there? Is it safe?"

"I suppose, but Gandalf will handle him in a little while. If we don't get involved, he should have little reason to interfere with us." She tried to sound brave, but had actually never thought of that.

"You said: I know that this will hurt, but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse..."

"I suppose..." said Melda a little doubtfully. She was not a coward but she did not relish the thought of meeting Grima Wormtongue, unskilled with a weapon and small as she was.

Lhunardaien saw Elenriel joining the group of A-Uers, and she decided to go to them as well. 'Hello, I am Lhunardaien, and I was wondering if I could also join you.. I don't have anyone to travel now' she said with a soft voice.

Elenriel smiled as Lhun approached them. "We would love to have you." she replied excitingly.

"Oh, certainly!" Luthien agreed. "Yet we aren't getting any closer to Rohan standing here. I think I will go find some sort of weapon for myself. And FaZ, don't give me that look! I want to be able to defend myself, thank you."

"You said: I know that this will hurt, but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse..."

Melda stood for a minute, feeling totally lost. "Does anyoen know what to pack?" she asked anxiously. "Or where to find it? Are we taking horses?"

Luthien nodded to Elegost, and disappeared in the direction of the armoury.
