Arm in arm, they arrived at Finrod's room.
He smiled. "Hello, Artanis, hello Celeborn."
She interrupted him quickly "I have told you to call me Galadriel."
"Okay, I'll call you Galadriel… by the way, how did you get that name?"
Celeborn smiled. "I gave it to her, milord."
"You??" Finrod frowned.
"Yes." Galadriel smiled, grabbing Celeborn's hand.
Her brother frowned, then, a surprised look came into his eyes.
"Are you…?"
Galadriel nodded impatiently. "Of course! Oh, Finrod, you can be so irritating. We've been walking arm in arm for, like, three days."
"Oh." Finrod said confusedly. "Congratulations. I'm sorry, I did not notice it, but… I'm worried, Artanis- Galadriel. You know why."
Galadriel nodded. "Yes… the Kinslaying." She sighed.
"Celeborn knows of it." she added quickly, seeing her brother's frightened look.
"And I think it would be best to tell the king immediately! He's a man who can appreciate honesty." Celeborn said.
"We will be sent away… You will have to let Galadriel go."
Celeborn smiled. "I don't think he'll sent you away. After all, you are his brother's grandchildren. And if he does- I'll follow you."
Finrod laughed. "Sister, you have made a good choice."
"Of course." she answered dryly. "Is it alright then when we go tell Thingol about it?"
"No. As the older, I will go, of course"
Galadriel shook her head resolutely. "Oh, no, Finrod, you won't go. You may be the wiser of us, but I am the most eloquent! I know you!"
Still, Finrod said "I will go, Galadriel!"
"No! Finrod, you would let him send us away! You haven't got any pride in you!"
Now, they both became angrier and angrier.
"No Galadriel, maybe I haven't got enough pride, but you have got too much of it. I'll go to Thingol! You are way too fiery-spirited!"
But Galadriel did not give up. She stared into her brother's pale blue eyes. He stared back. Celeborn did not say a word. He did not want to interrupt the siblings. He felt the tension… Who would win? He knew…
Suddenly, Finrod sighed and lowered his eyes.
Galadriel smiled. The power of her mind had given her one more victory…
He smiled. "Hello, Artanis, hello Celeborn."
