Haldir's POV

Dawn was just beginning, to peep over the horizion when that damn thing began to ring again. Watching meleth nin sleep, I realized that she looked absolutely exhhausted. I picked it up saying softly in the common tongue "Hello?"

The man on the other end replied "Hi there who is this?" I froze relizing that this was her Adar, and that I had to make a good impression.

I replied " I am a friend of your daughter's, I was injured and have had to spend the night. Would you like me to wake her?"

After a few moments he said "Yes please I need to let her know." I touched Crystal's cheek gently saying "beloved your Adar needs to speak to you." She smiled half asleep at first but processing that her adar was on the speaking device she said "Okay thanks."

Crystal

said "Yeah my friend there, Hal poor guy he got jumped so he came over for help.
