Isilme woke later than usual; the sun was already high in the sky. Last night seemed strange to her but she could remember why. Yes I can. She thought. Lord Celeborn. Isilme had brushed it off last night when he had called her melaim maybe he had drunk a little too much wine? But now in the sun's light, Isilme didn't really know what to think. I feel so confused! She thought as she went to see Arinya.

"Arinya, are you in there?"

Isilme knocked on the door of her friend's bedroom.

No Answer.

Sighing Isilme went outside and saw Haldir walking around.

"Have you seen Arinya?" She asked.

He shook his head.

"I am sorry I haven't."

Isilme walked off further into the forest.

*~*~*

When she got to a small lake, Isilme stopped walking and sat by the lakes edge. Whenever she needed to think she always came to this lake. It helped her to be surrounded by nature. She took a deep breath and sat down, leaning her back against a nearby tree. The sunlight sparkled on the water and everything seemed calm and peaceful. She closed her eyes.

"Isilme!"

Annoyed slightly, Isilme opened one eye and saw that it was Arinya.

"Where have you been? I have been looking for you for ages!"

Arinya sighed happily.

"I was with Elladan."

Isilme looked confused.

"What is he doing in Lothlorien?"

"He is visiting for a while."

Isilme turned her attention back to the lake.

"So did anything interesting happen to you last night?" Arinya asked her.

"No."

Arinya didn't look convinced.

"Are you sure? You looked a bit confused when you came back in the hall after looking at the stars."

Isilme waved her hand around.

"I am confused. But I don't want all of Lothlorien to know why."

"Who would do such a thing?"

Isilme looked at her friend.

"You can really act stupid sometimes. If you must know Lord Celeborn called me Melaim last night."

Arinya looked at her with wide eyes.

"You are in so much trouble!"

"I didn't do anything! He was the one who called me Melaim."

Arinya seemed to be quite nervous. Slowly Isilme turned around to see Lord Celeborn standing behind her.

"Hello, Isilme."
