We left Caras Galadhon (pronounced "Kar-ahs Gahl-ah-thon) yesterday and The Lord and Lady bid us a very fond farewell. *sniffle*. I even hugged Celeborn! ^_^ He's so cool. Heh. I surprised Galadriel when I rushed towards her and hugged her tightly… lol. But she surprised me when she hugged me and spoke to me in Elvish, saying she'd miss me. lol. Bwahaha. Niffers has found a place in the hearts of Elves! Tee-hee. lol. The other day I asked one of the female elves if they dyed their hair. Bwahahaha. She said, "No… Why do you ask?" and I told her that her roots were showing. Let's say I had to run pretty fast to escape her wrath. But it's all in good fun! I swear! *eye twitch*

You know, traveling all day isn't that great. Oh noooooo it isn't. First we had to travel by boat to get across the Anduin and there was only one horse waiting for us on the other side! The other one must have run off or something. lol. I merely transformed into a kitten and kept myself on Haldir's shoulder (by means of CLAWS…), on the part right behind his neck (don't worry he was wearing his immensely THICK cloak... Heh) and my head peeking out from under his hair. lol. I made myself to be the color of his hair, also. lol. The only thing that really stood out, were my eyes. lol. So basically if someone took a small glance they wouldn't notice me, and that is the way I intended it to be. Camouflage, baby! And if I ever wanted to just curl up and sleep, I just went into his hood. lol. Very interesting way of traveling, by the way. Yes. That horse ran with such a smooth gait that Haldir never lurched back and forth. Very nice. Especially for when I was sleeping. lol. At night or whenever we stopped, though, I transformed back into my human form. I laughed though when he commented on me purring and kneading his shoulder. At one point the cat instinct took over and I sucked on his earlobe, mindful of my kitten fangs, of course. lol. Purring, kneading, the whole bit. lol. I blushed profusely when he mentioned it later that day. lol. He even told me he wanted to reciprocate the action, and… er… *cough* do other things *cough* as well… I did not say that, why do you keep insisting that I say things which I don't? *wink*

Four days ago Jareth had sent me some sheet music to keep me entertained… lol. And I'm easily entertained, by the way… Give me a bouncy ball and I could be enthralled for hours. lol. Anywho, the sheet music consisted of Chopin and Yuko Ohigashi. Yuko is 15 years old and a genius at composing her own songs on piano… I love her music! lol. I had fun playing the songs all throughout that night. I even found Haldir sitting at the piano, playing one of the songs I played for him on the first night the piano arrived. He catches on quick! Eh… Must be an Elf thing. lol. Before we left I played one of Chopin's pieces for almost the whole of Lorien… lol. "Mazurka in D Major"… They absolutely loved it for its lilting and upbeat melody. Heh. I personally love Chopin… His songs were always fantastic and beautiful. I even played Chopin's "Fantasy Impromptu" for them. And if you've heard it, you'd know that it is one very fast and complex song to play. Well, in the different parts, it is… Nevertheless, I did it, and with emotion. Bwahaha. I am victorious! Yes. Ahem. Anywho, it was pretty interesting to see Haldir's fingers gliding across the keys so fast…

Oh I did end up kicking and punching the crap out of that Orc shaped target… Heh. And it's pretty difficult to write while on horseback… You should see the written version of this entry… lol. Horrid. *shudders* Anywho, onto (hopefully) more interesting topics…

Actually I'm going to go now... Haldir keeps looking at me like I'm his next meal… And… he's… slowly… inching… his way… towards… m- Namaarie! ^_^
