*************************
Arwen and Dileriyen sat in the room quietly for a few minutes as Dileriyen looked around in amazement. Everything had changed so much that she was having a hard time taking it all in. Arwen was now a beautiful maiden with long dark brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes. He features were graceful, elegant and Dileriyen couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. On the other hand, Arwen carefully studied Dileriyen's features and also felt a hint of envy at her cousin's beauty which seemed to equal or even surpass her own. They were both trying to adapt to these new changes in appearance.
Of course, Elladan and Elrohir had not escaped Dileriyen's notice. It seemed obvious to her that they did not relish the fact that they were twins and did what they could to look as different as possible. Nonetheless, they were two very handsome (and very similar) young elves, both carrying the elegance and grace of their mother but also the commanding presence of their father.
Elladan was the more rustic of the two as he enjoyed being outside in the woods or mountainous regions whenever he had the chance. His hair was of a chestnut but not too dark brown which was quite long actually (almost as long as Arwen's but let's not exaggerate). He kept most of it braided, though, so as to be different from his brother. He had gorgeous blue eyes that shone in the sun and was about a head taller than Dileriyen. Yes, he was very handsome and would definitely have no trouble in finding a maiden when he was ready.
Elrohir on the other hand was another story. He liked the trees and mountains well enough but his two passions were archery and sword fighting, in which he excelled. He and Elladan looked the same of course but Elrohir had more aloofness in his air. He was like the wind, quick to make decisions and quick to move. He only had two braids in his long brown hair; one on each side behind each ear and his blue eyes could always manage to reflect his emotions, more clearly than Elladan's. The brothers were of the same stature but Elrohir was a bit more toned muscle-wise (one of the many gifts of archery and sword-fighting). He was no less handsome than his brother, perhaps even more so, depending on the type of elf you go for. In fact, Dileriyen was surprised at hearing that they had not engaged any young maidens' hearts yet but there was time for that. She would help her cousins if necessary. And so the two maidens sat, deep in thought until Dileriyen broke the silence that seemed to be filling the air with tension.
"So my dear cousin, tell me everything! You look a little nervous and I can tell there is something going on behind those eyes. What troubles you?"
"Well Dil I do not know if I would say that something is troubling me but I do have something of importance to tell you and I suppose I am not sure how you are going to react."
"I am truly curious now! Please, you have my full attention."
*Here goes* thought Arwen as she spoke ever so softly.
" Dileriyen I...I am in love..."
"Oh my dear, dear Arwen I am so happy for you!" she gave Arwen a hug, genuinely happy that her dear cousin was having more luck than she was.
"Thank you but wait...there's more..."
"Well go on, do not leave me hanging!"
"Well...ah...he is...mortal. Now you know my secret dear cousin. He is mortal."
"Oh my... well I am very... surprised. Yes, well ah my dear are you sure? I mean please don't misunderstand but I ah... you do realize that we are Eldar and if he is of the Edain... I ah... wait a moment; let me collect my thoughts for you have caught me completely off guard! What I am trying to ask is: are you completely positive that it is love? And if so, are you sure he shares your feelings? For you know that the hearts of men are fickle. Humph... much have they added to the misfortunes of our world." She said unhappily, trying terribly hard to maintain her optimism. She really began to wonder what her uncle had to say about this, if indeed he knew of the situation in the first place.
"Please do not be upset with me Dileriyen... he has my heart completely, and there is not a doubt in my mind of his sentiments. But you have yet to ask me of whom I speak."
"Yes, excuse me for I seem to still be in shock. Who is this worthy man who has managed to steal the heart of my precious cousin?" she said slowly, trying desperately to smile.
This made Arwen grin widely for she knew that Dileriyen would be happy with her answer. She waited until Dileriyen felt like smacking the answer out of her. Then, she said it.
"It is Estel." She beamed as she waited for her cousin's reaction.
"OH! " Dileriyen screamed with delight as she was having trouble thinking of something else to say. "You never cease to surprise me! Oh but I am so happy I do not know what to say!!!! This is unexpected and yet fantastic! Cousin let me be the first to congratulate you for if a man it must be, there is not a finer choice. But do not misunderstand; Aragorn is the best choice beyond comparison in any case! Well... ahem... maybe except for one." She smiled mischievously as she tried to avoid Arwen's eager eyes and questioning stare.
"Cousin that is not fair I have told you mine but I did not know that you too had a story to tell! It is hard to believe that someone has finally met your standards. Is there really such a creature in all of Middle-Earth?"
"Aye cousin there is... I must have been so very blind for I have just now realized it myself."
Arwen took one knowing look into her eyes and found her answer. Her happiness was immeasurable at that moment.
"Dileriyen, your eyes say it all"
*knock knock knock* (A/N: we haven't had that for a long time:)
"Yes, come in," said Arwen, too excited to think clearly.
"Miladies, it is time for lunch."
"Oh thank you." Arwen replied as she grabbed hold of Dileriyen's hands and looked into her eyes.
"My dear cousin, I pray that evil cast not its ugly shadow on us and the future be bright for me and Estel and you and dear Elrohir!"
With that she headed out, assuming that Dileriyen was behind her, not letting her words sink in. Arwen had noticed the way Elrohir had looked at Dileriyen and mistook Dileriyen's looks at him (which were completely out of curiosity) thus misreading the entire situation, thinking that she shared his feelings. Dileriyen could do nothing but stand there in complete and utter shock. She was about to correct Arwen's most unfortunate mistake but was joined by the twins moments later as she was walking after her cousin. She could feel Elrohir's fiery stares and tried very hard not to look his way or even stand next to him for that matter. Arwen stared at Elrohir with complete contentment and only took Dileriyen's change of color as a sign of anxiety.
*I shall have to help them out* thought Arwen, having nothing but the purest of intentions and the worst of misconceptions. Dileriyen felt Arwen looking from her to Elrohir and decided to correct her cousin as soon as she had an opportunity. Unfortunately, it would have to wait for the time being.
*Oh Eru help me...this cannot be happening...* she groaned as her natural color had now faded completely into a whitish hue. She only hoped that her cousin would have enough sense to keep quiet until this matter could be cleared without offering anyone embarrassment.
