[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise smiled as Collette went on with her stories. She looked up at Jecht who was leaving the table and gave her a look, which seemed to ask her to follow him. Thengise took her leave from the feast as she excused herself from the table. She followed Jecht a couple of feet away as he walked through the halls and out into the silent forest. Jecht stopped at a small clearing by a little stream. The trickling of the water seemed to provide the forest with a soothing lullaby. Thengise stopped in front of Jecht. She looked up to the sky and gazed at the gifts of Varda as they shined through the blanket of the dark blue sky. After a moment of silence, she fixed her gaze back on Jecht who seemed to be watching her. "What is on your mind?"Thengise asked softly as she searched his eyes.
