Her friend will wander about, and might smile a little, observing Jaenelle's happiness from a distance.

She doesn't want to disturb the pretty picture.

[ebonyjaenelle72]

Jaenelle has other ideas, though, and she can sense you there Galadriellll~

She turns her head, still beaming. "Come down here! Sit with me, Galadriel. Surely you can take a break, just for a little while?"

[lorien_gal]

"I was," she replies, and her smile is a bit wider. "I simply didn't want to interrupt your rest."

[ebonyjaenelle72]

"I'm not resting," Jaenelle says, leaning back on her hands and tilting her head back. "I'm drinking in the sun, and the life, and the beautiful day."

"And I want to share it with you."

[lorien_gal]

Galadriel stands, comes closer. "As you wish, friend." She's had too many worries to refuse a chance to relax.

[ebonyjaenelle72]

Jaenelle reaches out, suddenly, to tug Galadriel down if she can with perhaps less grace than planned, her face lighting up. "Thank you! I was hoping you'd come by and I'd get a chance to talk to you - it seems like forever since you and me had some time, just the two of us, with nothing really serious between."

[lorien_gal]

Galadriel smiles, tries not to be serious about anything. "It's been some time, yes," she concedes, and leans her head on her friend's shoulder. "Have you been well?"

[ebonyjaenelle72]

Jaenelle's arms slip comfortably around Galadriel's waist, supporting her. "I've been - all right. You know how things are. People need help, and I try to be there."

She looks at Galadriel, her smile - affectionate. "That's what I like about you. You understand what that's like."

[lorien_gal]

Galadriel leans into her friend a little more, smiles back. "We always understood each other, I think, after the first misunderstanding, is that not so?"

[ebonyjaenelle72]

Jaenelle blushes. "I'm sorry about that," she says, shamefaced. "It's - stupid, now, looking back on it. Stupider, I guess I should say, it was always stupid, but-"

She cuts herself off. "That's right. You understand."

[lorien_gal]

Galadriel laughs, and gives her friend a squeeze. "I do," she replies. "I very much do, now."

[ebonyjaenelle72]

Jaenelle turns her head, slightly, looking up at her slightly taller friend, her expression one of blissful innocence. "I like sitting here like this," she says, somewhat suddenly. "We should - do this more often."

[lorien_gal]

She smiles a bit. "So we should," Galadriel replies, and she leans against her friend, an arm around her shoulders. "It feels peaceful, with you here."

[ebonyjaenelle72]

Jaenelle chews her lip a little, looking through her eyelashes up at Galadriel. "What's it like?" She asks, suddenly.

[lorien_gal]

Galadriel colors a little. "-- it's -- a carefree feeling," she murmurs. "But also the simple impression of being -- home again."

When home is Valinor, that's a pretty darn serious statement to make.

[ebonyjaenelle72]

"Like home." Jaenelle lowers her eyes, sighs a little. "I can understand that. I wish sometimes...that I could see your home. Know why you get that look in your eyes when you speak of it."
