Menelien sat silently beside Eladoriel.
"Menel? You kay? Oh no, not again, please tell me you are NOT asleep."
"Course not! How do you expect me to be asleep with this - erm - child... - er - I think?"
Menelien replied innocently.
Arafangwen whispered to Eladoriel and Menelien, "Yes, it's a child. These children are easily mistaken for as monsters though." She said with a giggle.
"Hey!" The crazy child said, partly-overhearing.
"Oh, nothing sweetie, we were just discussing... um... how sweet you and your brothers are!"
The child nodded approvingly and settled back down. Eladoriel then continued to pay attention to Bethberry, who was now speaking.
"I wonder if any of us will get an award..." Said Eladoriel.
"Well, after the chandelier thingy I don't think I'll..." Menelien trailed off as Bethberry started to announce the winners of the award.
