Chapter 4. When It Rains
Haldir stared at the girl, then rubbed his eyes.....'no, there is no way she just did that...' he thought to himself. "How...how...did...you..do that?" he asked her.
"It is a gift I suppose, I recieved it from my mother....a while after she passed" Eleniel said the last words silently, but Haldir had heard her.
"I'm very sorry,you have my deepest sympathy" He said as he lowered his head. "No need to be sorry, everything happens for a reason, I keep convincing myself".
She said with a small smile,decieving,but in her eyes Haldir could see all her pain and sadness, she was drowning in it.
He didn't to push on the subject, but he was curious."How did it happen?", He asked her.She was silent for a moment, he waited for her to speak, he knew it was hard to lose someone you loved.
Finally she spoke."She left one day to visit a friend in Mirkwood, but never returned, and she has been gone ever since, and now, I live with my friend,
but she is rarely home." She told him sadly.
Haldir was astonished, and almost...angry...this young woman, living practically by herself, for years!. "And what of your father, where was he when all of this happened?!....and where is he now!?", He hadn't meant to
say it the hurtful way he had, but he couldn't help it.When he heard soft sobs coming from the girl,he turned towards her.She had tears in her eyes, and running down her cheeks, mixing in with the rain.
He felt a pang of guilt run through him."I'm sorry Eleniel,
I didn't mean for it to come out that way, please forgi---", He was cut short by Eleniel raising her hand to stop him.
"It is alright,there is nothing to forgive." she said.
There was a long moment of silence, both of them just staring off into the distance.When finally Eleniel spoke Haldir looked at her, her knees were brought up to her chest, her head resting on them.
"My father also passed....he went out to look for my mother, and he also never returned...... ." By now they were both soaking wet. Eleniels hair was sticking to her back, as was Haldirs.
He studied her for a moment before scooting closer to her and puting his arm around her in a supportive hug.
"If ever you need to talk just come find me...alright?" He asked her. She nodded her head slowly and looked him in the eyes.
She gave him a small smile of thanks, and he returned with a small smile of 'your welcome'.
Neither of them knew how long they had been sitting there, and neither of them cared.They both felt that they had made a new friend.....and they both did.When Eleniel, finally realizing
how cold it was, shivered, she figured it was time to get home.She slowly got to her feet and held out her hand for Haldir. Haldir, still staring off into the distance only noticed her hand after she cleared her throat to get his attention.
He gladly accepted her hand and lifted himself off the ground. "Well, I suppose I should be getting home, It is probably very late." Eleniel said to him.
"Yes me too, I believe you and I both need some rest, It should do us good." He replied with a smile. He looked her directly in the face, and stared in wonder at the beauty of her eyes, they were as blue
as the ocean, and shone almost as briliantly as Lady Galadriels. Eleniel noticed him amazed, and let out a small laugh.
"Goodbye Haldir, until we meet again." She said, and turned around to leave. "Wait Eleniel, will you come see me again tomorrow....I will be on duty
at this very border, I would like to talk some more with you." He said to her. "Well then, I will see you tomorrow Haldir, Until then, good night " She told him.
Gently he put his hand to his heart and to her cheek, she returned his gesture as a sign of farewell. "May I walk you home Milady?" He asked, silently hoping
she would say yes. "I know the way back to my home, it is not a very long walk, I think I shall be fine", she replied. Haldir looked down in disappointment "But thank you
for the offer....Milord" She smiled at him and laughed. He looked up at her and coudln't resist laughing.
"See you tomorrow Haldir." she yelled over her shoulder as she walked back into the safety of the trees. Haldir watched her go, he watched every move she made, until she was out of sight. "Goodbye, my friend......" He whispered.
Alatáriël walked around Lothlorien, It was very dark, but with her elven eyes, she could make her way through the forest. The paths were deserted. "It must be very late... ." She
said to herself quietly. She tripped and lost her footing over a tree root sticking out of the ground, she fell and nearly got a mouthful of dirt."How graceful Eleniel ." she said to herself.
She did not notice the two very curious elves watching her from the tree tops. Rumil and Orophin sat still and silently watched her.
"So that is way Haldir wanted to take that extra shift." Rumil whispered. "Wow, thank you for stating the obvious, you mean you actually noticed?!" Orophin joked.
"I wonder what happened out there between the two of them." Rumil said with a hint of mirth in his voice. "Well, I guess that is something we can ask him."
"And he thought no one would know!" Orophin laughed. "Oh this is going to be good!." The brothers both said in unison.
