Beneath the bright sun shining in the blue sky, the children laughed at play. Their fathers, chuckles a deep counterpoint to the high young giggles, ran among them. Queen Arwen sat comfortably in the shade and studied the way Rosie's eyelashes fell upon her cheeks.

Rosie glanced up, coloring slightly before looking down again at her sewing. "Did you need something, Lad- Arwen?"

"No, I was merely looking." Arwen looked down at her own embroidery, then cast it aside. "I hear a stream not far from us. Would you walk with me there?"

Smiling, she offered Rosie her hand.
