Yana stood on the balcony, waiting for Elodon to arrive. She had been disappointed when he hadn't been able to stay with her awhile longer before rushing off to talk to Elrond. And she had been expecting a kiss on his first meeting with her after a month! She sat down on the cushioned seat, waiting. The sight of a waterfall made her think of previous nights where she and Elodon sat together, just talking. He told her of life in Gondor and she spoke of her life since she came to Rivendell and before. She remembered telling him for the first time of the reason why she came to Rivendell to live under the guidance of Elrond.

'Well, it all began when I was about 800 years old ,' Yanira had told Elodon. 'I was living in Eryn Lasgalen, with my parents. But then, my parents decided to move here to Rivendell and I was heart-broken. I loved it in Eryn Lasgalen. My father worked as a guard at the palace of the King Thranduil and we lived a few miles from the palace. It was a wonderful life. I had many friends and enjoyed learning the arts of war from my father. And when my parents suggested that we move to Rivendell, I didn't want to go. Weeks later, we still hadn't moved and my father was called on grave business to travel with the King to Lothlórien. So my mother and I stayed in Eryn Lasgalen. However, my father then proposed the idea that I should journey to Rivendell to learn the arts of healing from Elrond. Him and my father were great friends and when Elrond received word of the idea, he thought it was great. So I was made to travel to Rivendell and I have been here ever since.'
'Why haven't your parents joined you here?' Elodon had then asked.
'My father was killed while defending the King. My mother died because she was heart-broken. She tried to travel to Rivendell unescorted one night, to live with me, but was killed on the way. No one knows the precise reason as to how she was killed.'
At this point, Elodon had kissed her, apologising for the loss of her parents.

Yana was jerked from her memories by a soft touch on her shoulder. She turned and saw Elodon. She turned back, smiling slightly. She was going to play hard to get.
"Yana," Elodon said, "I came back to you."
Yana only nodded, but moved further away. Elodon stepped quickly in front of her, staring. He had played this game of hard to get with Yana before, and he knew that she would surrender sooner or later.
Yana challenged his stare. She glared at him.
"Are you mad, my Love?" he asked, solemnly.
"Of course I'm mad! You saw me for the first time in a month and you didn't give me a present. I thought that I would give you a second chance now, but it looks like you blew it."
"Oh, I see now… You want a present!" And with that, Elodon pounced on her and kissed her. Her back was flat against the wall and she struggled to move. Then she stopped resisting and let herself put her arms around her love. They kissed for what seemed to be an eternity, but broke apart when Yana pulled back and sighed.
"I missed you so much," she whispered.
In reply, Elodon kissed her lightly. They sat together, her head on his shoulder, looking at the setting sun in peace.
