::catches a glimpse of outside and pauses::

Why's there a . . . unicorn outside?

::makes sure the twins are asleep, asks a passing servant to watch after them for a little while and goes out to investigate::

::approaches cautiously, keeping her distance::

Hello? I don't know if you can . . . understand me, but . . . I don't think you should be doing that.

[gorlim]

*stops* NOROLINDE!!! *gallops around her and whinnies excitedly*

[norolinde]

o.o Ohgodohgoditknowsmynameit'sgoingtohurtmeifImove . . .

::shakily:: Yes?

[gorlim]

Noro, it's me. Gorlim.

[norolinde]

. . . no, it's not. Gorlim's not a unicorn. He's a hedgehog, sometimes, but not a unicorn.

[gorlim]

Unfortunately, Noro, I am now. Melkor's son did it.

[norolinde]

. . . what?

I . . . why? ::reaches a hand out to him hesitantly before pulling it back::

[gorlim]

I... don't.... KNOW. *skewers the tree again* Because Halbarad and I were hurt. It made me better but... *whacks the tree again*

[norolinde]

::weakly:: Don't do that.

You're okay?

[gorlim]

*wilt* I am now. Sort of. I mean, I'm not hurt anymore but.... *quiet, leans against the tree*

[norolinde]

::moves closer:: What's wrong?

[gorlim]

nothing.

[norolinde]

Gorlim. ::sternly:: Talk to me. Help me to understand what's the matter with you. Because if I can't . . . if I can't help you, what good am I?

[gorlim]

Well... I can't ever hold the twins like this.... or you.... or wrestle Halbarad.... or hold a sword.... or anything.... and.... NORO.... *whacks tree again*

[norolinde]

::steps back quickly, afraid:: Gorlim! Stop! We'll . . . we can get through this!
