At the Mercy of a Burning Coal

Note: This'll be really short because I'm still majorly pissed at the computer problem, no luck trying to fix it. I think I need to get a whole new dang computer, which isn't gonna happen any time soon due to the various bills I have to pay off...

They had all agreed on lying low for the next few days...weeks...months maybe. The mishap at the market was the least of their worries though. Manwathiel had come a day later Lily and Lathwen had been at the market and said that Lorien had been under another attack. This one was minor...and no one was hurt. However, Manwathiel had said that Glorfindel of Gondolin and his Gang...GGG for short...had only stopped in Lothlorien to check on Antien and Tirion before heading out at a great speed. No one knew where to though. Which undoubtedly, worried the Outlaw Maidens, mainly their leader.

But the worst news had yet to come. "Lathwen," Manwathiel said grimly, using her real name, "Lord Eomer and Lady Eoywn's parents have died. Lady Theodwyn's brother, Theoden, has agreed to foster them. And one more thing," There was silence as Lathwen wondered how much worse it could get.

"Eothain has requested we meet him...in Bree."

Lathwen cried out, "WHAT?! HOW DARE HE THAT SLIMEY...(explative explative)" Elenniel and Saerwen blinked in confusion. In the backround, Nestariel and Lily explained their leader's history and how she had suffered there.

You get the idea. Manwathiel rode away with the apology that she couldn't stay any longer...Sarethiel wanted to hear from her as soon as possible about the fate of the Outlaw Maidens. Lily tentatively advised Lathwen to go, saying that Eothain wouldn't call for them without a good reason.

After much deliberation and arguing, Lathwen was convinced (*cough* forced) to go and meet the ranger. All of the Outlaw Maiden's at the home base would go with her. "He could have sent for us while we were in Imladris! It would have been so much closer and easier to get to! Honestly...the nerve of men...slimey...windbag...old...grumpy...stupid...idiotic..." Lily said that they should go with all haste so Lathwen wouldn't have time to add less pleasant names to that list.
