Haldir made his way to the training fields, usually Lea would be there as his second in command, "It's times like this that I miss you." He thought to himself smiling, as if she was already his, as if she could here him, little did Haldir know that somebody could here him Galadriel had been watching and waiting for this union for quite some time.

Haldir continued with his day oblivious to the fact that things were beginning to work against him, most importantly that he would not be returning to the borders for some time, the lady's orders.


Rumil and Alassëa were also plotting, the first part of their plan was complete, Lea realised that she did want Haldir, now was the hard part Rumil had to convince Haldir to do something about it, a foolish move.


It was on Haldir's return to his own talan that Rumil caught him and the incident was short. Rumil's only words being, "You care for her, do not allow your stubbornness to get in the way or you will lose her, she is not like the rest big brother." With that he was gone, but that was all it took, that night Haldir dreamt of Lea. The same could be said for another inhabitant over in Alassëa's talan Lea went to bed thinking of Haldir and the thoughts kept her from reverie the whole night.

"So, now it has truly begun." Lea and Haldir heard the voice, the lady's voice. No peace was provided however rather more questions, as neither knew how the other felt, both were anxious, none of this worrying would turn out to matter anyway as the next morning a surprise visitor would reach the borders of Lothlorien that would change their plans and put their relationship to the test. Neither heard Galadriel's musical laughter, even she had no idea what to expect.
