Chapter 2A– Offer Accepted
8/3/92 TA
Dear Diary,
At last I have persuaded Ereinion to let me aid Lorien. To begin with, he thought it was just an excuse to get me out of being ordered into the army, but once I had Galadriel's messenger repeat her plea directly to the king, he gave in pretty quickly.
Our reply has been sent, and Eru willing, the weather will stay fine so I may leave in no more than two weeks. Hopefully this will allow my arrival to coincide with the traditional beginning of a new topic, causing as little confusion as possible for both the students and myself. It will take a few days to aquaint myself with the classes I will be taking over, but as long as the elflings are willing to accept me and are willing to learn what I have to teach them, I believe there should be few problems.
Galadriel informs me that her daughter is currently holding the post of senior tutor, so I will be working closely with her on my arrival. I do hope the lady Celebrían is more reserved in her manner than the majority of woodland ellith…
