Chapter 7
The Talk with Galadriel
Nori's POV. I stood in front of the Lady of Light. Every dwarf knew about her and they knew not to cross her, but whose who looked upon her were respectful. I had fallen in love with her daughter. I gulped.
"Don't be scared, Master Dwarf. I don't come to scare you away from my daughter for I have not seen her this happy in a decade. (AN: It will be explained more as the story goes of what happened, but I will explain later.) You and the Company put smiles on her face, but for you, her smile is brighter." Galadriel said.
"What do you mean you haven't seen her this happy in a decade?" I ask, frowning.
"She's the one that will tell you, but give her time and don't push her. Her past is something she doesn't like to remember, but will tell you when ready." Galadriel said with a small smile on her face.
"I won't." I said, wondering what it was, but knew I wouldn't ask. "You didn't come here to tell me that did you." I didn't look at the Lady of Light.
"No. I came to let you know that if you court my daughter that you got my approval along with her fathers. Her nephews you will have to convince because they are protective of her." Galadriel said.
"But I'm a thief. She's royalty." I said.
"But there's more in you then what meets the eye. She sees it in you when you don't. Dwarves are stubborn and its rare that a dwarf and an elf fall in love, but I know she will never love another if you don't accept her and sail to the Gray Havens when the quest ends. I see two sides of her future with your conflicting emotions. Choose wisely." Galadriel said but she didn't speak with moving her lips. She spoke in my head.
"Thank you Milady. It's an honor to be in your presence." I said. A smile graced her lips.
"You may go." Galadriel said. I head out and down the path. I heard a laugh and saw Ella with Arwen and two men. She hugged the two with a smile. The men leave and I frown. I turn to leave.
"Nori? What are you doing here?" Ella called. I turned to see her approaching. A smile came on her face.
"I came looking for you. I was wondering if I can escort you to the party tomorrow?" I said. Her smile widened and she kissed my check.
"I would love for you to escort me." She said. I smile.
"Excuse me. I need to do something." I said. She nodded and I headed to the place I had in mind. (AN: Not telling you where. It's a suprise in next chapter.)
Ella's POV.
"Looks like you got a courtship forming." Arwen said.
"He hasn't asked me to court him yet." I said.
"I think grandmother got to him." Arwen said.
"Mother's here?" I ask.
"She's here for your birthday." Arwen said. I smiled.
"Arwen. I need your help." I said.
"What is it?" Arwen said.
"I need your help getting ready for the party tomorrow." I said. Arwen smiled and I knew she would help me.
AN: So I hinted that there will be surprises coming for you guys that I will let you guess but I won't tell. My lips are sealed. I'll update soon. Next chapter is the party. :)
