A/N: Welllll, it (was) Good Friday, so I might as well get some "work" done... No, actually, now it's the 3rd of May. Procrastinator alert!

Glorfindel raced after the fleeting figure in front of him, repeated yelling out Ren's name as he tried to avoid running into trees while putting on all the speed an Elf can (which is, frankly, a lot) to chase after the human. Jumping over a log in a fraction of a second, Glorfindel had to throw himself forcefully to the side to avoid colliding with a maniacal Sara and a protesting Inez. Dodging a overhanging mallorn leaf and finally breaking out into the open, the elf saw Ren trying to reorganize her books while blabbering out various incoherent sentences to a rather baffled looking Gildor and a rather annoyed Erestor. Slowing down after seeing that Ren had no visible holes in her head and/or bleeding/dismembered body parts, and that his arrow was not stuck anywhere in her, Glorfindel made his way over. Ren was evidently in shock, and was blabbering Sindarin at an alarming rate to Erestor, who was petting her arm and trying to get her to calm down.
'Im gado ned gonathras uin taurum, a bronad-nin tharin. Delu gwaithos erthad an degi im. Im eglan gwanno!' [Sindarin: I am caught in an entanglement of large-evil, and survival is beyond me. Hateful people surround me and try to kill me. I am forsaken to die!]
Erestor was beginning to look flustered. Glorfindel's mouth twitched at the corners.
'Deri u-prestannen, Ren!' [Be calm, Ren!]
'U PRESTANNEN?! NIN AGOR DEGO!' [BE CALM?! I NEARLY GOT SHOT!]
'Ren, pen u-thell!' [Ren, somebody might have done it unintentionally!]
'Carech nauth?!' [You think?!]
Glorfindel decided that it was time to intervene before either Erestor bit off Ren's head or Ren bit off Erestor's. Gildor simply shut up and remained in the background. Glorfindel, unfortunately, forgot that he was *still* holding his bow, with a rather conspicuous looking quiver (empty) stuck on his back. Ren stopped arguing with Erestor, looked up and gaped. Before Glorfindel knew what had happened, she was ranting at him.
'Ha na le?!' [It was you?!]
Glorfindel nodded meekly. Ren was about to jump up and murder him when a shriek and a yell came from the Nimrodel. The three elves and the human looked at each other for a moment before dashing over to the river.

Inez shrieked loudly before wrenching her hand out of Sara's grip, shut her eyes and blindly stumbled into the direction that led away from the Nimrodel and Haldir. Sara grinned and took out the remainder of the green dye that they had used in Imladris.
I knew this would come in useful!

Gildor crashed into Inez as he plummeted forward. Unfortunately, the River Nimrodel was roughly five inches from where they stood. Splish.
*
Erestor decided that Haldir needed a bit of modesty at the moment. Erestor decided that he had better kill Haldir before the situation got any more embarrassing than it already was. Erestor tried to throw the guard his tunic, but unfortunately, the banks of the Nimrodel gave way under him and the counsellor ended up throwing himself at Haldir. Splash.

Ren grabbed Glorfindel by the wrist and dragged him to the waterside. She proceeded to try and save Inez from being crushed by Gildor, while Glorfindel dumbly gaped. A kick in the shin woke him up, however, and the elf dove into the water to help out. Drenched and shivering, Inez was eventually pulled out of the water, and Gildor, spluttering, came up soon after. Erestor had succeeded, however indirectly, to pull a tunic over Haldir's head after falling on top of the Marchwarden, and Haldir himself managed to surmise the situation to save himself. Five minutes after, when everyone had caught their breath, Ren sat down in the water and said,
'Does anyone know why we are
GREEN?!'
