Eoaina was so excited about the trip that her nurse Mavwin could hardly get her to lie down but eventually weariness took her and she fell asleep. Eoaina rose with the sun the next morning and then proceeded to wake all those who hadn't. Mavwin managed to get the squirming child into a dress suitiable for travelling before she bolted out of the room to find Legolas. She found him in the stables tending his horse. "Good morning Littleheart"
"Good morning Legolas, when are we going to leave?"
"Patience Littleheart, we will leave when the sun has risen above the mountains. Are you ready?"
"Yes, Mavwin helped me pack last night"
"Good, good. Now go and have breakfast than say your goodbyes"
"Ok" she said and skipped back towards the house.
After Eoaina had eaten she went in search of Vardamir. He was sitting with his tutor in the gardens. "Big brother I have come to say goodbye"
"Goodbye little sister have fun in the Mirkwood"
"I will, I promise I'll be back soon"
"Of course you will or I will have to go to the Mirkwood my self and bring you home" Eoaina giggled and hugged him "I will miss you"
"And I you so hurry up and leave so you can come home faster" she giggled again and ran off down the garden path.
Elrond was in his study signing documents for his adviser Erestor. He looked up all of a sudden, it had sounded like the door had just opened and shut. He decided after a few moments that it was nothing and went back to his work.
"BOO!" Eoaina cried as she jumped up from the front of Elrond's desk. With a yell from Elrond papers went everywhere, Eoaina rolled around on the floor giggling in delight "Eoaina! How many times must I tell you not to do that!?!" Lord Elrond yelled, Eoaina stopped giggling "I am sorry grand ada," she said as she stood up " I was only coming to say goodbye"
"I know my child but you frightened me half to death"
"I am sorry" Eoaina said and hung her head,
"Come my dear," he said and gestured to his knee. She hopped up onto it and he gave her a hug "now I want you to be on your best behaviour when you go with Legolas"
"I promise I will be good"
"Good, come I think Legolas is waiting for you." He took one last look at his now messy office, sighed, then led her by the hand to where Legolas was waiting astride his horse "Take good care of her" he said as he lifted Eoaina onto the horse in front of Legolas
"I will"
"Goodbye my dear" Elrond said
"Goodbye Grand Ada" Eoaina said in her small voice then with a quiet word from his master, Legolas's horse sprang away.
"Good morning Legolas, when are we going to leave?"
"Patience Littleheart, we will leave when the sun has risen above the mountains. Are you ready?"
"Yes, Mavwin helped me pack last night"
