"Really? A spy? How...thrilling!"
Thrilling!, Emilia thought scathingly. Did Lorna not realise how serious this was? She conveniently forgot her own reaction to the news in indignation over Lorna's.
"Yes" she answered, face impassive, voice earnest. "I can't tell you any details, of course, Ecthelion swore me to secrecy. Only the most inner circle know the details."

Lorna's mouth formed an 'O' of surpprise, jealousy of Emilia's supposed position in the inner circle shining from her eyes.
"Of course" Lorna answered innocently, nodding. "I suppose you couldn't give me any idea... who?"

"No I could not" Emilia's voice was calculated to contain shock, outrage and disapproval. "It's highly confidential"
"Of course" Lorna murmured again, drawing away absently as she realised she would get no more details.

Emilia could see that even as only a partial story, Lorna would see this as one of the best she had ever heard. Emilia had not broken any of Ecthelion's wishes, and in fact it might help to have an awareness of the spies. She had made it clear enough- even for Lorna- that the group from Dol Amroth had nothing to do with it, which he would surely see as a benefit too. Emilia was feeling rather virtuous all around, in fact. She hoped that there would be some sort of a reward coming for her behaviour very soon...
