[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise changed into the elegant, flowing, white gown. She braided two small parts of her hair, which she put up, leaving leaving the rest of her hair to flow down her back and over her shoulders. She washed her face with fresh water. Her rosy cheeks glowed in the light. On her head she wore a circlet of silver, which resembled entwining branches. She looked out the window to see the sun beginning to set, which meant the feast would soon begin. She took a quick look at herself before opening the door and walking out into the hall.

She walked down the hall and entered the great dining hall, which was already beginning to fill up with the elves of Lothlorien. At one end of the grand table sat the Lady Galadriel, at the other was Lord Celeborn. Thengise took her seat to the left of Galdriel. Collette sat next to Thengise. The hobbit was already telling the elves of their adventure. Thengise smiled, but her eyes strayed to the figure which had just entered the door. It was Jecht, he took his seat to the right of Galadriel and across Thengise. The guests had grown silent as Jecht took his seat. Thengise silently raised her green eyes to Jecht's. A soft smile spread across her face as he lifted his own eyes to hers.
