CHAPTER 2- The Walk to Luinil's Talan

They dressed and walked silently from his room, down the hall, and through the dimly lit forest, to her talan. Legolas kissed Luinil's neck, and she brought his face to hers and kissed his sweet lips. "Thank you, Legolas. I never realized what I felt for you until we were alone this past night. I had a wonderful time. I do love you, and I shall love only you, melamin."

Legolas suddenly laughed. "Aiya, Luinil, you make me so happy." He was struck suddenly with an urge to sing to Elbereth. His beautiful voice rose softly singing a hymn: "A Elbereth Gilthoniel, silviren penna miriel o menel aglar elenath!" At this point, Luinil took over, her high voice clear as crystal: "Na-chaered palan-diriel o galadhremmin ennorath, (here Legolas joined in) Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, si nef aearon!"

The two stood, stunned by the beauty of their mingling voices. Then, at once, they said, "I did not know that you sang! Well, I do!" They regressed to laughing, Legolas's a deep, yet clear laugh, Luinil's high and soft. Then Luinil climbed gracefully up to her talan, saying, "Namaarië, Legolas. Lissenen ar' maska'lalaith tenna'lye omentuva. Which will, no doubt, be soon."

"You also, fair Luinil. Namaarië for now."
