The injured shoulder is healing nicely, will take a few days till it's healed I think. Health stat out of the way, on to other matters.

Celeborn?

You. Me. Talk. Looooong talk.

*waits in their chambers for him*

*appears*

[galadriel_lady]

*locks door*

We need to have a long talk about us.

[lord_of_lorien]

Yes. You're right, we do.

*sits down in one of the large chairs*

...If you are feeling well, that is.

[galadriel_lady]

I feel well enough, the herbal drinks do a lot to ease the discomfort.
I feel well enough for a talk.

*makes herself comfortable on the couch*

[lord_of_lorien]

*nods* Alright. *reassured she is well*

*folds his hands together* *ponders what to say*

The truth is, I haven't known what to say or do lately. I feel uncertain.

[galadriel_lady]

Well, tell me about your uncertainties, mayhap we can solve them together. We've got plenty of time.
I don't plan to leave this room till everything has been talked through and settled, no matter how long it takes, thus I locked the door to ensure a little privacy.

[lord_of_lorien]

I don't plan to leave this room till everything has been talked through and settled, no matter how long it takes

*gulp* What if it doesn't get settled? What if you don't like what I have to tell you?

[galadriel_lady]

*grows worried*

What things that I don't like would that be? Surely we can settle this, or has our marriage been so irrepairably damaged we can never get over this?

[lord_of_lorien]

*frowns*

*looks at the floor, pain in his eyes*

I don't know if this can be resolved with only a conversation. That's why I've been spending so much time lately simply walking the streets, sorting this out. This hasn't been easy for me, but I think... *swallows* I think I need to spend some time on my own for a while.

[galadriel_lady]

*pales*

*gulps*

Oh please no...are things truly that bad?

[lord_of_lorien]

*blinks back tears*

It is not that things are bad for us, exactly... there have been so many good moments, and that is what makes this so very difficult.

*runs a hand through his hair*

The truth is that I feel as though I do not know who I am anymore, like I exist only to please you. It hurts me to think that I cannot be the person you need me to be, and to lose myself in the attempt.

[galadriel_lady]

*still very pale*
*feels the onset of a very good crying fit*

I would want you to be yourself, *swallows a lump forming in her throat* Some time apart may indeed then be a good thing for you, no matter how much this pains me I would not want you to lose yourself.
Perhaps a visit to the gardens of Lorien might do you good, they are gardens of healing after all.

[lord_of_lorien]

Healing... perhaps. I am not sure what I need.

*swallows hard* *brushes a hand over his eyes*

Perhaps I shall stay elsewhere for the time being. *looks uncomfortably at the floor*

[galadriel_lady]

*looks pained at the floor*

If that is what you feel would be best.

[lord_of_lorien]

I don't know what would be best. I just have to find out on my own.

[galadriel_lady]

I don't know it either...

I do know one thing and that is that I love you and I would want you happy. If being on your own for a time will help you become happy once more and find yourself, then I will not keep you here.
