Love At First Sight

Siladwen watched the warrior as he delivered his message. Tall, strong, and wearing the armor of his countrymen. He was Rohirrim; it was rare to see them near Lorien, much less within the borders. Yet here he was, Eothain of The Wold, delivering a message to Lady Galadriel as he’d been charged to do. She moved closer, in order to see him better, and stopped in her tracks when his eyes met hers. Her heart skipped a beat when he blinked several times, then smiled. Siladwen fell in love, and she smiled shyly at the man she knew she’d marry.
