Gandalf leads them through a big hall. Tanya had never been in this area before, because if Tara had been here, then she should have remembered this place. Maybe Tara didn't have much contact with Eothain. Gandalf stopped a few meters away from a door.

Gandalf : Here we are. There is his room. Tanya, do not forget that when you talk to him, you are Tara. Do not talk to him about the murder or about the day of the murder.

Tanya : Right, where shall I meet you ?

Gandalf : We will be right out here, in case he tries to kill you. Do not tell him that we are outside.

Tanya nodded. The fellowship hid. Tanya headed towards the door. She knocked on the door, a few seconds later a young man opened the door. He stood at the door staring at Tanya. He looked worried, but Tanya remembered he was always was like that. Tanya did remember him, but she could not picture him at the murder scene.

Tanya : Can I come in ?

Eothain : Su..Sure

He let Tanya in

Eothain : Sorry for staring, but I thought you were dead. I can't believe it. Elrond told me that you might not survive, but your luck, you survived.

Tanya : Didn't Aragorn tell you that I survived ? I was at the party yesterday. Didn't you see me ? I know I did not see you.

Eothain : Actually I had gone to Lothlorien, I just came today, so I did not get the message. But I am really very glad to see you alive, Tara. You mean a lot to Aragorn, he loves you a lot. Tara, I love my brother a lot. After that our parents died, Aragorn took care of me, he is my only family. I love him dearly and as much as he loves me, he loves you too. He wouldn't have survived without you.

Tanya : Eothain, I know you love you brother very much. If you love your brother a lot and you know that he loves me too, then why did you misbehave with me ?

Eothain looked at her, Tanya could see he was ashamed.

Eothain : Tara, I am really very sorry about that. I had told you that I was drunk. Tara, I am in love with this girl called Freia, I was talking about her with my friends and then you passed by and as I was drunk, I thought you were her. I am very sorry..

Tanya started to believe that he was not the killer. He said sorry when no one told him. He was really ashamed of his behavior. And it was true that he loved his brother a lot, then why would kill someone that meant a lot to him. If he did not kill Tara, then who did.

Eothain : Are you alright ?

Tanya : Huh ? Yes, I am alright. I should be leaving now. It was nice to see you again. See you at dinner.

Eothain : Yes, see you at dinner

Tanya headed for the door, but then was stopped by Eothain.

Eothain : Tara, I am glad to see you, you mean a lot to my brother. I do not what would have happened to him, if you did not survive. I thank god that you are alive.

Eothain gave a big smile and Tanya smiled back and then she left the room
