the Lady Aerowen:

Here's hoping I can explain further and help clear things up ... and that you'll still be up for adventuring with the likes of me when it's all done. * gentle smile * [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Here's the quote where piosenniel used your charactor Alearindu:

Alearindu noted the Hobbit's entrance into the underbrush of the forest, and thinking it odd she should be so armed, followed . . .

To my mind, saying that Alearindu "followed" is open-ended and minor enough such that Alearindu retains freedom of action. After all, Alearindu can follow Holly one step, two steps, all the way into the forest ... or Alearindu can change her mind at any time, all with no major implications to her personality or alternative actions. This is quite different than a situation where one character (Alearindu) prevents another character (Holly) from taking an action once a character (Holly) has already made a decision and started to take an action!

Knowing when it's safe to use another person's character without permission vs. when you must ask another person first before using their character is something that will get easier to understand with time and experience.

As for whether Holly and/or Alearindu are still in the forest, you can find out the answer to where Holly is by reading
piosenniel's most recent post which includes a scene where Holly sets up camp. As for where Alearindu is, you may decide whether she ventures into the forest or not, as you wish.

Many thanks for removing that post. Your gracious apology is accepted, all is well.
