After several minutes of pleading and convincing, Aragorn finally got Haldir to take the Fellowship to Caras Galadhon, the heart of Lothlórian.

Inside, the nine companions gazed around in wonder at the ethereal beauty that surrounded them. They were led to wait at a space facing a wide staircase. Suddenly, two elves walked forward from above them.

Pure light seemed to surround these two elves as they slowly walked down the steps, hand in hand, while the Fellowship gaped and stared in wide eyed wonder. They were Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn, the rulers of Lothlórian.

Aragorn bowed his head and his hand came up to touch his forehead briefly, giving the image that he was showing respect, while he was really thinking 'Can't they tone down that light a little? It's giving me a headache.'

As soon as both Elven rulers reached the bottom of the stairs, Lord Celeborn spoke up.

"Theeeeee….. Eneeeeeeemmmmmmy knowssssssss... thaaaaaaat yooooouuuuu haaaaaaave… ennnnnnteerrrrrrrred heeeeeeerrrrrrreeeeeeee."

Hearing this familiar slow speech, all nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring started to glance around at each other. Were they going to have to endure the same thing from Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel as they had from Lord Elrond?

Whaaaaaaat… hooooooooope yoooooooouuuuuuu haaaaaaad….. innnn seeeeeeeeeeee…cccccrrrrrreeeeeeeeccccccy….. issssssss noooooooowwwwwwwwww….. gooooooooonnnnnnnne."

Lord Celeborn glanced around at the travelers before him, ignoring the quick glances between them; he noticed that a certain wizard wasn't among them.

"Eiiiiiiiiiighttttttt…. theeeeeerrrrrrre arrrrrre heeeeerrrrrre, yeeeeeeet….. niiiiiiinnnnnne theeeeeeerrrrrre….. weeeeeerrrrrrrre ssseeeeeeeeetttt oooouuuuuuutttt…… frrrrrrooooooommm Rrrrrriiiiiiiveeeeennnnnnnnn….. deeeeeellllllll."

At this point, hobbits, humans, dwarf, and elf were shifting uncomfortably, hoping against hope that this particular meeting was about to end.

>SEVERAL HOURS LATER

"Neeeeeeeeddddddd…..leeeeeeessssssss weeeeeeerrrrre nooooonnnnne….. oooofffff ttttthhhhheeeee deeeeeeeddddssss oooooofffffff Gaaaaaaaannnnnnn….. ddddaaaalllllfffff innnnnn….. liiiiiffffeee. Weeeeeeee dooooooo nooooootttt yeeeeeetttttt…. knnnnnooooooww hiiiiiissssss…. fuuuuulllllll puuuuurrrrr…..poooooossssse."

There were not quite stifled groans from several of Lothlórian's new guests and they once again shifted to the other legs to let their first legs rest from standing to that side for so long.

Are all Elven rulers this slow?
