[silvergift]

Oh, you will need not worry on that account. There are many of Arda's inhabitants here. Dwarves as well. You will no doubt meet them in time.

[Though she may caution him when meeting some of them. Like Celegorm. Even if he is much calmer now that he's lost his shard.]

[gloinul]

Do you know who is here, then? Their names and such?

[silvergift]

[Give her a moment. She actually has spoken to everyone at least once. Or heard their names.]

Among the dwarves there is Thorin, Fili and Kili. Among elves there is myself, my mother, Legolas, Maglor, Celegorm, Idril, Tauriel and Nerdanel. There is also Bilbo and Sigrid.

Formerly Thranduil, Elrond, Celebrimbor and Feanor were here. [She touches her pendant with a soft sigh.] With hope, they are safely home. [Well, mostly safe.]

[gloinul]

[About half of those names don't ring any bells (and dammit, Legolas beat him again) but Thorin, Fíli, and Kíli? Gimli's eyes widen a little]

The dead are here?

[silvergift]

[She doesn't know the fate of the dwarves she mentioned. And unfortunately side-effect of leaving Middle Earth before they were born, but she does know of her kin.]

They are but they are brought before their deaths. Time is a strange thing here.

[gloinul]

Indeed, if my royal cousins are here alive.

[Oh boy.]

Can these...faeries toy with time as well as people, then?

[silvergift]

Royal?

[That's new, actually.]

It seems that they can. My husband, while here was here, came from several thousand years after my own time. At least, my time as it had been then.

[gloinul]

Husband, my lady?

[...Legolas would have mentioned if Galadriel was his grandmother, right?]

[silvergift]

[Having one child, oh that would have made some things a bit easier. And her fate might have been different if she had married Thranduil.]

Lord Elrond.

[gloinul]

You are Queen Arwen's mother, then?

[WHY DID NO ONE THINK TO MENTION THIS LITTLE FACT. Gimli is very obviously surprised to learn this.]

[silvergift]

[HOLD ON.

Celebrían leans back slightly, stunned. Queen. He said 'Queen.' That means that her daughter married while she's been gone...]

Queen Arwen..?

[gloinul]

[...No one mentioned that little tidbit to her?!]

Yes. Lady Arwen married Aragorn of the line of Isildur and became Queen of Gondor.

[silvergift]

[No one, sob!]

Isildur's line.

[That means then-

She can almost feel her heart breaking. Her youngest child, her only daughter.]

I am never going to see her again.

[gloinul]

--oh, my apologies, my lady. I forgot.

[Even at almsot 170, he screws up. Damn it all. Quick, recovery time!]

But that may not be. Two Hobbits recently sailed West when previously it was only Elves to do so.

[silvergift]

Do not apologize. I knew that one day, my children could well choose to live as Men.

[Everybody does. Even she feels like she does and she's much much older than Gimli.]

I doubt very much tough that Arwen would leave her husband and her home after making such a choice. But thank you, Gimli.

[gloinul]

[He bows his head]

Aragorn is a good lad and will treat her well. She will be happy, my lady, I assure you.
