((hehe well you started it ))

He put his good arm around her and smiled. The healers looked at them but Rhayader simply ignored them and closed his eyes. For the first time in a long time he felt peace within him. It didn't matter that they had argued before, or that they were in the middle of a war zone, he cared for her and her for him. Was it love? Rhayader couldn't tell, he had never been in love before...

Arinae caughed, or more so gagged, as she entered the room, not having really wanted to disturb them, but it was an awkward sight for her at the moment. She mumbled something about love and puppies and turned to walk from the room, her right arm in the sling for her shoulder.

She returned to her seat on the wall, looking out over the sky, the stars actually showing this time, no clouds to cover them. She watched silently as the fires in the orc camp continued to rage, catching on the parched grass and surrounding the orcs and men. Arinae dared to smile slightly, releived that this could possibly be the end. A few men to finish the rest off in the morning and it would be over... or would it?

She sighed and turned her gaze inward, her heart plummeting to see the massive destruction along the edges within the city where the breaches had been made. Her mind drifted back to remember when she had first come to her ruined village and seen the dead and wounded. Arinae closed her eyes, a single tear rolling down her dirt and blood covered face. She brushed it away with her left hand and again steeled her expression, pondering over all she had gone through since her peaceful times with the elves when only an occasional warg or orc was all that plagued them.

((Tin started it, not me!!!!!!))

Tindomerel was lost in the moment, feeling all giddy inside. She let Rhayader wrap his arm around her. If she wasn't kissing him, she would have been smiling. "Le melon," she whispered, pulling away for a moment, not realizing she had spoken in Elvish.
At a noise like a cough, she opened her eyes and saw Arinae. She jumped apart from Rhayader, taken by surprise. She slipped off her seat.
"Eep!!!!!!" she squealed as she fell on the ground.
She hit the ground, then quickly stood up. "Arinae," she said, rubbing the back of her neck, not really knowing what else to say.
She was blushing a very bright red. She knew her cheeks were warm.

Tindomerel realized what she had just done. She had kissed a mortal. And she realized that she had feelings for him. And she realized she had told him she loved him. And for the first time, she realized she was like her sister.

Rhayader stood up at the same time, his face turning bright red.
"umm Airnae..."
He looked around and started to stutter.
"Umm well I best leave and... umm check on the walls."
He shot a smile at Tindomerel and quickly left too embaressed to stay.

"I'll help you," said Tindomerel, starting after Rhayader.
She couldn't stand staying there. The silence was too much and the elf had to get out in the daylight again. (It is daytime...right?))

Rhayader led Tindomerel round to the back of the building where they could have some privacy.
"Tindomerel...."
He took her hands in his.
"I think i've come to realise something... I think ... I think I love you."

Tindomerel followed him. She was glad that they could be alone again. When he took her hand, she smiled at him. "You don't know Elvish, do you?" she asked, gripping his hand tightly, her amber eyes sparkling.

Rhayader shook his head and sighed.
"Alas Eldathrion never got a chance to teach me."
He smiled as he looked into her eyes.

"Well, in there I just told you I love you," said Tindomerel, a lop-sided grin spreading across her face, "Here it is again. Le melon, Rhayader."
The words were whispered softly and sweetly. Tindomerel looked up at Rhayader, smiling sweetly.

Rhayader tried to get his tounge around the words.
"Le... Le melen.. no... Le melon Tindomerel."
He smiled brightly.

((Of course it's nighttime! I never get anything right!!!!!! ))

Tindomerel let out a girl-like giggle, smiling at Rhayader. "I'll teach you more some other time," said Tindomerel, tucking some of her hair behind her ear.
She kissed him again, standing up on her toes to reach him. She pulled back for a moment. "You're taller than I thought," she whispered.

Rhayader smiled.
"It just means I have to lean down for you, like this."
He leaned forward and kissed her back. He rose to his full height and smiled.
"I think we should get back to what we're supposed to be doing, people might start talking."
He smile brightened.

A small smile flickered at the corners of her mouth. "I guess..." she said, with a sigh.
Tindomerel stood on her toes and gave him another kiss. Then something tackled her. She yelped, falling to the ground. She then opened her eyes to find Nimloth on top of her, the she-wolf wagging her tail.
"Hello, Nimloth," said Tindomerel, pushing the wolf off her, with a small laugh.

"They've already started talking..." Arinae spoke quietly with a slight smile, her head tilted to one side lightly as she looked down from the wall. She hesitated before turning around to face outward again, "It's... good to know there is happiness amid such destruction..." she finally forced the words out with a strangely wistful smile before returning to the opposite edge of the wall to sit down and gaze towards the enemy, a hand on her chin in a thoughtful manner.

The enemy had seemed to bring the fire under control, and were now gathering to take count of what they had left. Arinae stood, watching closer through the dim light to see a rider head out on the only horse from the camp, moving along eastward.

Rhayader laughed loudly and helped the elf onto her feet. He petted the wolf and smiled.
"A excitable wolf eh?"
He began walking slowly back to the walls.
