The Gates of Caras Galadhon
You stand now in the narrow corridor between the overlapping arms of the high
green wall. Tall and strong and hung with many lamps, the great gates stand
before you protecting this sole passage into the great forested city beyond. The
eastern sky is ablaze with deep orange and golden yellow waves as a new day
begins over the Wood. Atop the wall, sentries patrol their stations armed with
bows of yew and shouldering quivers of grey feathered arrows. To the southwest,
a white bridge arches across the misty fosse that encircles the walls.

=====================================================================
The dawn hours in the land of Lothlorien things are quite nice and temperate
through the night, many people begin there morning rituals. The elves of the
land come and go. The gates of the city are always busy one such person here
watches the passing he is gathering all his gear about him and making sure that
he wont reach the end of the lands without something needed. He is satisfied
with this and he begins walking towards the gates though he steps to the side to
let meant passed
Humming softly as he moves towards the Gates, the Tailor Galharth seems to be
deep in thought about something. Leaning heavily upon his staff the long legth
of wood makes heavy thuds against the white road with each step taken on his
left side. Pausing at the gates, he turns towards the east and lifts his face to
the sun. As he does this, the crafter catches sight of another. "Well met,
Mellon. Beautiful day isn't it?"
As usual for this young elleth, no attention is given to the pair of ellons
conversing at the great gates of Caras Galahon. Instead, reclusive Pelliwen
pours her focus on the rustic five holed flute that fills the air with it's soft
hollow tone. This simple instrument appears, and sounds to have been made by a
novice. In fact, Pelliwen made it herself years ago as a child, and it's unique
sound identifies her approch to any familiar with her. She walks with a purpose
as she plays an upbeat melody, her drab brown sylvan cloak floating backward as
passes.

Lagorith looks back from the gate as he believes someone speaks to him. The
warden spots the tailor easily, he nods his head to him in respect. "Well met, a
fine day indeed it should only get finer." the sound of music than reaches his
ear turning towards the sound of it. "A fine day to you Lady Pelliwen, he calls
out why not join us before we must go on our ways throughout our days. What has
you both at the gates so early." the sindar finishes speaking and looks to both
Glancing to the sound of music as Lagorith speaks, Galharth leans his head
against his staff and signs. Does he like the sounds, or does he not? Nothing
can be told from the crafters reaction, but he does clearly listen. At the
Warden's question, the Tailor turns his gaze. "I'm always up early, and it
seemed a fine day for a short walk to gain strength back into my leg. Certainly
nothing interesting," he says with a smile.
Although it was only a few nights ago that Lagorith and Pelliwen conversed
rather friendily, the elleth is back to her familiar self. Lowering the not so
straight flute from her lips, her eyes dart to the ellons. "I'm busy..." she
says coldly, her deminor in steep contrast to the bubblely tune that she played
on her approch. Coming to a brief pause, she gives a respectful nod to the pair.
"Wardens". Just then, the up-beat tune picks up again and the young silvan steps
away. Always prefuring solitute, most meetings with Pelliwen are brief.
Lagorith nods "Aye, this is true it seems that you have healed rather well." he
says appraisingly to the one wounded ellon giving him a once over glance. The
warrior looks back to the elleth as she speaks in a way to him. "My apologies."
he says with a bit of a look and still listening to music which comes from the
elleth.
"Sorry?" Galharth mutters in surprise as he turns towards Pelliwen, clearly,
from his expression, he is confused by the elleth's words, "I had not realized
that I was disturbing you by my listening."
Shrugging his shoulders, he turns back to the Warden, "Indeed, it is healed, but
I've not gained by all function or strength just yet." A smile returns to his
face as he continues to speak. "I'm told to keep working at it, and all will be
well."
The silvan elleth steps away, her fingers ficking about her flute knowingly.
There is no more attention or words givin to the ellons. Her head bobs to the
left then to the right as she plays the bright tune. Quite happy to be alone
with her music and thoughts, seemingly unaware of her rude behavior, she steps
away, her music quieting as her distance grows..
Lagorith looks back to the elleth as she turns and moves away still playing her
flute. "Mind her not my friend for she is still young in our years." he says
with a laugh. He looks back to the gate to make sure that everything is still
processing smoothly. "I know myself had such a time when a child, but that seems
so long ago now." the smile still remains though.
"Elven children outgrow that stage of rudness well before they're fully grown.
Had you had such difficulties in childhood then certainly you outgrew them prior
to adulthood." Says Galharth firmly, Pausing to glance after the young lady,
"Even young Rhibi who's still within his childhood behaves better."
Shrugging his shoulders he brushes aside the ill behavior, and moves forth. "And
what might bring you out and about this day?"
The ellon nods his head as the tailor speaks. "You are right. I don't remember
myself being quite that way at any point after my usual childhood."Lagorith says
looking back the way the elleth had taken off. "Each of us is different,
hopefully she will come to learn soon enough." he says this turning back to the
tailor. "I am away back out to the boarders to be on guard about the Naith and
northern boarders." the Sindar speaks not sadly but he does enjoy the elven city
when he can spare the time to be here.
"Then I wish you luck on your duties, mellon." Galharth says with a glance to
the west. "I was there not long ago, and all seems calm. Unlike recent days,
your tour should be peaceful." Taking a step towards the Gates, the crafter
chuckles softly. "I, however; have a long day of fittings planed, and peace will
be far and difficult to find until well past the time that the sun sets."
Lagorith a nod of his head, and he looks back waving to the guard with a salute
to each of them in turn. The Sindar continues to watch as people pass through
the gate, this ellon is waiting for the rest of his guard to get here before he
continues out through the gates. He than will move into the forest.
