<<gasp!>>
"It isn't often that hobbits return to these woods Master Took, the Lady will be glad to see you again." Collette opened her mouth in a bewildered manner, but refrained for she whole-heartedly was convinced the elf was insane.
They were led through many identical corridors, of silverish gray glowing with paintings upon the walls of gorgeous elf princesses and valiant battles that jumped out as if they were real.
They were informed that they were to meet Galdriel and the Lorien heir.
Entering the room, Collette felt belittled in size and fairness by much. She was sure even Thengise felt similar.
"Princess of Mirkwood" Galdriel said, gracefully beconing her to a chair. Thengise bowed with equal grace and took a seat. Collette stood uneasily before the queen, but she smiled like she knew her. "I was wondering when you'd be visiting me" she said. Collette let out a sigh of relief. "Master Peregrin"
"WHAT? im not a boy!"
From the corner of her eye she saw the elven prince working very hard at restraining his hysterical laughter, the way someone she knew used to do....
Collette's eyes went wide at him.
"How come you didnt tell us?" she asked.
"What that they thought you were your own uncle?"
"YOUR A PRINCE! AN HEIR!"
Thengise raised her eyebrows "Do you two know each-"
But her own eyes widened as she finally recognized his grin.
"JECHT!"
"Your not Peregrin" the lady said, throughly confused.
"Im his neice" she said, throwing back her hood and revealing her tangled locks of curls.
