Orual has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

Rie fingered the key, leaning on the wall just outside of Don's room. She was still a little stunned by what Nuru had told her; had she been away from Talômi for that long? Did she understand him that little now? Tears stung her eyes, and she wiped them away fiercely. This was no time to cry. She had decisions to make.

And what an idiot she had been, worrying Don with this whole business. That was where the tears truly came from. This girl wanted nothing more than to see her own twin again, and her was Rie's twin, and of all the stupid things, the redhead was hiding! Hiding from her own brother!

Hiding from responsibility, likely, though she would never admit that. Talômi had always depended on her. He still did, if what he had told Nurumaiel was true. And she had up and run off. Some sister she was. She rubbed her face again, then turned to go to Nurumaiel's room.

She jumped a little when she saw that someone had been watching her. A hobbit, and very pregnant. Rie stood there dumbly for a moment, blinking, and the hobbit said, "Excuse me. I'm Mrs. Robin Green. I won't keep you long, for I can see you'll be wanting to go to bed, but I was wondering if you're a friend of Nuru's?"

Rie ran her fingers through her dark hair and nodded. "Yes, ma'am. Nuru and I go way back, since I first got here. My name is Talmérië. Can I help you with anything?"
