The Green Dragon Inn - Part 4

[Annalaliath]

As Annalaliath looked on the happy encounter she felt glad for her friend. At the same time, however, she felt a wave of jealousy. She would never find her family or find love, that is how her life seemed. It had been the same for most of her long life. She felt the tears welling up. The feeling in her chest was a mounting pressure, that she fought to hold back.

Smiling weakly she said, "Mae Govannen." Then she sat down and burried her nose in a drawing. The ink dripping and flying as she drew fluidly, and clumsily maybe. She continued to draw furiously. She did not understand why she had been alone most of her life. Now she had friends, and she did not understand why she felt the way she had.

Bowing her head; with a sharp intake of breath, she isolated the thought. The cause of this feeling. The memory of her friend and once lover. They had fallen away and he had been married.

Feeling the jealousy and remorse, and anger swell up. She stood up, " If I may be excused I will go take a walk now." Avoiding Morwen's and Nahi's eyes she walked quickly out into the evening. Hugging herself she started to walk through the Shire. As she walked she gained speed and soon was running; running by Hobbits and others alike. When she came to an empty field she stopped and looked around . Down the road in the distance she saw the Green Dragon small and inviting. She needed her time alone from Nahi and her lover to calm down. She knew that if she hadn't left she would have exploded all over them, and spoiled the moment.
