It was not long until Elentari felt the half-elf drawing near. The elf-witch, Elentari, had stopped to consider things. It seemed foolish to run off like a little girl. She had to grow up. But still, they had rejected her. Elentari knew Arawil would not soften towards her. She would not be a friend to the elf-witch. But the others... they were kind, thoughtful. Min was so selfless and Elentari's new friend, Airerūthiel was from the start kind to the elf-witch.
Now that Airerūthiel had come searching for her Elentari's mind was made up. She would try once more to join the company.
"Elentari!" shouted Airerūthiel from below. "I know you're up there. Why did you run off? Won't you please come back with me? I could introduce you to some of my friends I met in the Shire at the Green Dragon."
"You would do that for me?" said Elentari quietly. "But we only just met?"
"even though you were at first cold towards me I knew that you were kind, Elentari. You said you would lead me to the house of Mirkwood, even though they have shuned you. Please, please come back with me!"
"Ok."
"Please.... I fell like it's my fault. that sprite probably would have convinced you to-"
"It's ok Airerūthiel." said Elentari calmly. "I will return to the company with you. And I will meet you friends. I needed to go and get my friends, Moon, anyway!"
Airerūthiel was surprised and yet filled with calmness at the sound of the elf-witch's enchanting laugh.
"Thankyou, my friend."
