Okanim: No, no running off with the Fellowship. Now be a good little grasshopper and be patient. :)

xSilverShadowsx: Yes he does and so does she which will cause them both a lot of problems.

Raz 42492: You too? Are you and Briann related? You seen to have the same ideas as what to do to Haldir. LOL

Arami: I sent you an e-mail and as soon as we get all the details done I will start on the next chapter of Trouble in Paradise. We seem to have similar ideas on things. :) although she won't be moving in with Rumil.

Misao Demon Master: Don't worry she makes him pay for it. Ever seen an arogant Marchwarden beg? Neither have I and unfortunately we won't get to now either. Though it may come close to that at one point.

krillball: You know, I think this is the most I've ever heard Haldir and ass in the same sentence with it not being refered to as how hot it is. :) It seems all of my readers are a little pissed at Haldir today. haha

loveroflegolas: There is a lot more tension to come.

IloveJesus7390: I'm glad. Hopefully it won't become boring for you. There will be a lot of tension between the two for quite some time.

spotnmushlover246: Thanks

TriGemini: Yes, it was unlike him but these are his father's weapons, the only thing he has left of his father, and so one could understand why he would be so irrational when he found them missing.

Laer4572: A lot of work, IF he can fix it. You'll just have to wait and see.

kbluesmom: Maybe. But for some reason Brianna finds Haldir's punishment more amusing than him being 'thumped'.

A/N: I know this chapter is a little boring and short but it was kind of a filler used mainly to transition Brianna into her own talan.

Brianna runs through the city until she finally collapses in tears in one of the many gardens. She feels someone sit next to her and looks up. Galadriel smiles sadly at her as she reaches out and lifts Brianna's chin so that she can see her neck. Silently, Galadriel places her hands on the bruises already forming on Brianna's throat and closes her eyes. Brianna feels a tingling sensation and then Galadriel removes her hands.

"A talan is being prepared for you and your things will be there when you arrive," Galadriel says softly. "As for Haldir, he will be punished for his actions."

Brianna shakes her head. "My Lady, while I am angry and hurt at what he did and will never be able to forgive him, I understand why he was angry."

"Angry or not, he had no right to accuse you without proof. Nor should he have treated you in such a manner," Galadriel replies.

Brianna looks at her with tears in her eyes. "I know and that is why I cannot forgive him." Galadriel nods and gracefully stands to leave. "No matter what my heart says," Brianna whispers to herself as Galadriel walks away.

Upon hearing Brianna's quiet words Galadriel stops at the edge of the garden and glances back at her with a knowing smile before leaving the garden and joining her husband who is patiently waiting nearby.

Galadriel and Celeborn...

"Is she alright?" Celeborn questions, concerned.

Galadriel smiles up at her husband. "She is unharmed, just scared, hurt and angry." She grins and adds, "Very angry," causing Celeborn to chuckle. "Our Marchwarden will have a very nice time trying to make this up to her, but when her anger dies away she will eventually forgive him. Her heart and mind are already battling."

Celeborn glances toward the direction of Haldir's talan and sighs, "Now to deal with the Marchwarden for his behavior."

"Do not be to harsh on him, husband. I see his mind and his own punishement is harsher than what we could hand out," Galadriel informs him.

Celeborn nods. "I will remove him from duty and confine him to his talan for only three days so that he may have time to think about his actions."

Brianna...

Brianna sighs and twirls a blade of grass between her fingers as she thinks about her conversation with Galadriel. She frowns when she realizes that Galadriel didn't tell her where her new talan was.

"Brianna?" Brianna looks over her shoulder to find Rumil watching her in concern. He walks over and kneels in front of her. "Are you alright?" he questions as he checks her throat for bruises.

Briann smiles slightly. "Lady Galadriel already healed the bruises."

He nods and shifts to sit next to her. "There should not have been any bruises for her to heal," he says angrily.

"I thought we were friends, Rumil," Brianna says with tears in her eyes. "But I realize that I was wrong because if we were friends he would know that I wouldn't steal from him."

Rumil pulls her to him in a comforting hug. "While he is wrong for what he did, he was angry," he says feeling the need to defend his brother even if he was angry at Haldir.

Brianna pulls away from Rumil and stands up. "I understand that, Rumil. But he still shouldn't have done it and now he hasn't even came to apologize, which is fine because I wouldn't accept his apology anyway," she says angrily.

Rumil chuckles as he stands. "He can't."

Brianna looks at him in confusion. "What?"

"He can't come and apologize whether he wanted to or not. Lord Celeborn has confined him to his talan as punishment for his actions," Rumil informs her.

Brianna looks at him in disbelief. "He's grounded?" she chuckles.

Now its Rumil's turn to look confused. "Grounded?"

Brianna explains it to him and he laughs, "Now I understand your amusement. It is quite funny to think of it that way. Come," he says offering her his arm. "The Lady has asked that I show you to your new talan and then I must go tell Orophin about this grounding. He will think it is quite amusing, also."
