[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise looked at Jecht now seeming to somewhat recognize him. She placed her fingers under his chin and lifted up his head.

"Mae govannen(Well met). I thank you very much for keeping my whereabouts secret and for wanting to protect me. You are true to your word. If that is what you want then you may protect me, but on the condition that we treat each other as friends and not by rank or blood,"she said softly to him, noticing how he would not allow himself to make eye contact.

"And do not be afraid to look upon me. I want you to feel comfortable around me. Remember we will be as friends,"she said with a soft smile on her face.
