"Rowen, apologize?" Liran's eyebrows rose. "That would be.. surprising. But.. maybe you're right." This would neither be the first time someone did something unexpected, nor the last. And it did make sense, that she would be more relaxed after finding her friend.. He shrugged, and turned back to watch the two girls, who were getting near, by now.

Rowen hesitated for a moment, very much feeling that she'd rather be anywhere else. But I brought it upon myself, she thought, and walked apprehensively toward the young man and woman.
"Alyan," here she made an effort to make the name she had formerly ridiculed sound natural, "May I speak with you?" Without waiting for an answer she continued, afraid that he might say no.
"As you can see, I've found my friend...and I've also found my conscience. I've treated you horribly, and I must apologize. There is no excuse for my rudeness. You've helped me find my friend...without you and Arinae, it's doubtful that I would have made it to Rohan safely, if at all." Rowen's cheeks burned with shame as she addressed them both. "I am very sorry for my behavior, and ask for your forgiveness, though I do not expect it. I would not hold a grudge if you chose to justly withhold your pardon."

Who wants to join me in bringing back the lady?

Arinae gave Liran a knowing glance, her guess proven correct. "I forgive you gladly, Rowen," she spoke with a bow, a gentle smile gracing her features. "It was my pleasure to accompany you to Rohan, even though it may have been a challenge to my temper at times," she added with a slight smirk held upon her face.

"Ah, and you must be Radiel," Bowing slightly, Arinae cast a smile towards Rowen's friend. "It is good to finally meet you" Not wishing to be harsh, but unable to hold her tongue about the matter, Arinae continued. "I am sure you'll both be in for a scolding once you are finally returned home, for I highly doubt your friend's reaction towards your leaving was the only result. But setting matters aside... how do you enjoy Edoras, or Rohan in general, from what you have seen of it so far?"

Radiel was still confused by this matter. Were these two good people just here to find her? She tried to smile as the stranger greeted her, though Radiel found it odd that she knew about her when it was no where near like-wise. She returned the greeting with a nod and a smile, however, the smile fainted a little as she was reminded of home.
"I enjoy Rohan greatly, Arinae, is it? But we must indeed return soon." The smile upon Radiel's face had now disappeared entirely. "I hear you travelled with my friend?"

Arinae nodded. "Indeed, a rather entertaining travel, might I add," she replied with a smile. "Had a brief run in with a warg, but no harm came from it, beside the warg that is." A slight chuckle accompanied the statement, before Arinae realized this must be rather confusing for Radiel, since Rowen had told them much about her friend, and Arinae doubted her travel companion had much time to update Radiel on the happens.

"I ran into these two while on my way towards a village not far from here, for a visit to a dear friend. They were in the process of attempting to follow the tracks you left behind, so I offered to go along to help them, even offered a ride for Rowen upon my horse, but she's obviously stubborn," Arinae began to relay briefly how she had come to join in travel with Liran and Rowen, though a slight chuckle interupted.

"I highly doubt they'll be needing assistance in tracking, or much of it at least," she added with a smile. "Along the trail they indeed had plenty of time and opportunity to learn much of what was required for the skill. The elves have a keen tactic on such things..." Arinae stopped her chatter, realizing she was ranting on and would most likely never stop if she didn't now.

She could talk an elf's ear off and she certainly would not wish to annoy the girl before her now, so she smiled and murmured an apology. "Forgive me, I've gone a few years rarely getting a chance to speak with anyone other than an elf kind, so my tongue runs away with me when I do get the opportunity."

Rinkemen heard the voices talking to each other. He thought he recognised one of them and decided to walk round to see. To his suprise he found Radiel and Rowen talking with Airnae and someone else.
He called out to them as he walked toward them.
"Well well I never thought you'd be so foolish as to follow us Rowen, and half by yourself! Your almost as bad as Radiel!"

"Oh, no, I love stori-" Radiel started, grinning, but was immediately interrupted. She turned to her teacher.
"Foolish, maybe," she began, "but a wise man once told me that adventure and travelling is good for the soul."

Rinkemen glared at her. It seemed everyone today felt the need to rebel against him.
"Yes but that wise man meant when you grew older and were able to look after yourself. You and Rowen would probably be killed if not for the assisstance of others!"
He sighed and walked further toward them.
"Look we have to be going. Eomer is heading to Minas Tirith tonight, we are to accompany him."

Radiel had completely forgotten about the new threat afoot these past couple of days. She had completely forgotten about her dream. Exploring the great city in Rohan had been too big of an experience, even after the news of the discovered banners, carrying the Eye. All grew quiet for a moment; Radiel by a sudden sense of unusual insecurity and hidden fear, the others by ignorance. Radiel finally spoke:
"Are there... any news?"

Rinkemen pulled her sharply away from the group and whispered into her ear.
"Radiel! They don't know about the news! We can't just go around shooting our mouths off. I will tell them when the time is right."

Radiel opened her mouth to speak, ready with some usual remark from her side, but no words escaped her tongue. Sighing, she nodded her head slightly.

Rinkemen nodded.
"Good. And another thing, stay away from Airain, I may not be your father but out here I feel responsable for both you and Rowen and I want to stay away from her, she is a bad influence."

Arinae raised a brow at the discussion and at the mention of Eomer leaving for Minas Tirith, her interest sky rocketed. "And why is our King leaving the city in such haste to make a visit to Gondor?" She questioned, her focus on Rinkemen, the expression on her face clearly saying she would not drop the subject so easily, especially since it had something to do with her kin, not to mention her King.

At that, Radiel glared at Rinkemen.
"No, you are absolutely right, you are not my father! You have no right to tell me what I can or cannot do!" She then realized she had risen her voice, suddenly. Lowering to a whisper, she continued: "I came here by own will and am perfectly responsible for my own actions. I am no child."

"In the eyes of most people you are!"
Rinkemen looked up to Airnae.
"Well I was sent here to request Eomer's presence for a feast that my king, Aragorn, is preparing for his anniversry."
He was quick to think up this lye but he could not afford to tell them til they were far out of the city and away from the people.

Radiel kept the glare focused on her teacher as he spoke, but decided not to continue the argument. Not here, at least, in front of Rowen and the two strangers. She hated it when others thought of her as a child, when she was most certain of otherwise herself. She crossed her arms and leaned her back against a house-wall of wood while watching the conversation.
