Idril looked fondly at the Hobbit. It had been a long and difficult journey that had brought Cami to this place. A journey that would have overwhelmed many of the bigger folk. ‘We were right,’ thought Idril, ‘to have placed our confidence in her.’ ‘I will miss you, Cami.’ she said aloud, ‘but know that my thoughts will ever turn toward you and the band of brave Hobbits you lead.’

Cami’s cheeks were stained with crimson, and she looked toward the floor, so that the tears which threatened at the corners of her eyes would not be seen. She took a deep breath, recovering herself, then went back to the business at hand. ‘Now that we’ve more or less got things sorted out,’ she said, ‘let’s plan for the party to be the day after tomorrow. It will give us plenty of time . . .’

‘To prepare!’ said Idril, smiling. ‘I would swear you read my mind on that!’ the tension of the previous moment broke, and the laughter of the two women filled the room.

Idril took out another clean sheet of paper intending to make a list for Cami to have, and divided it into four sections. Under ‘CAMI’ was found all the speeches, thank-yous, presentations that were to be done. Cami was to make sure everyone who was making a speech was prepared to give it. ‘BIRD’ held all the party preparations such as decorations, food, music, entertainment. Ancalimon’s name was noted prominently in this last section. ‘IDRIL’ was primarily concerned with the wedding ceremony and all that entailed.

‘What’s this section?’ asked Cami, noting ‘TUOR’ with the single name ‘Mithadan’ written under it. ‘That is something which is hopefully underway right now.' said Idril. 'And proceeding smoothly!’

Cami looked at Idril, and smiled. ‘This is going to go without a hitch isn’t it?’
