He was glad that she at least seemed to want to eat. He suspected that she'd not had anything that day and he was uncertain of when last she ate. He began leading her in the direction that one of the larger fire pits were at. However, within a short moment Reinette was speaking to him again. "I'm not sure how any of this is possible. None of this is supposed to exist..." Her words caused the Elf to glance in her direction. Slight confusion crossed his features. He stopped, giving the young Mortal his full attention.
Reinette continued speaking though to DĂșlinnor it seemed that she was more talking to herself at the moment. However, he continued to listen to her. She lost him rather quickly, though. He had no idea what she was talking about. The confusion that had been on his face was still present. The Elf simply remained silent, continuing to watch her closely. It was clear to him that she was confused and it was starting to worry him. "Please. You have to tell me..." Reinette said, moving closer to DĂșlinnor. He did not move from her. Instead, he simply allowed himself to look down at her. "...Is this Middle Earth?"
"Yes. Of course this is Middle Earth." He paused, his head tilting slightly. "Where else would you be?" Reinette did not answer him. DĂșlinnor was truly beginning to worry for her now. It was almost as if learning that she was in Middle Earth was something that she'd not expected. "Lady Reinette?" DĂșlinnor said, trying to gain her attention. A moment later, however, the young woman's body went forward.
DĂșlinnor reacted immediately, catching her limp form before she could harm herself. He then gently laid her upon the ground, trying to see what had happened. His brother suddenly appeared. "Mortals are weak, little brother. I do not see why you would waste your time with any." DĂșlinnor ignored the older Elf for a moment. It soon became clear to him that Reinette had simply fainted. "What does it matter if I spend my time trying to help her? She clearly needs help. At least until the Lady sees her. What harm will that do?"
Aglaron simply shook his head. "Let us hope that will be the end of this. Mother and Father would not be happy to find you spending so much time with a Mortal." DĂșlinnor simply chose to ignore his brother's last comment. Instead, he continued speaking. "Will you at least help me to get her up to our flat? She needs to rest."
It was clear that his brother did not want to help but finally agreed. "And I'm supposed to stay where tonight? Certainly not with her." DĂșlinnor laughed at his brother's comment. "Don't worry about it. I'm sure one of the other's have extra room. Let's get the Mortal off the ground."
It was not like Aglaron to be so kind all of a sudden. He was even suggesting that he'd be able to easily find somewhere else to sleep for the night. Together, the two brothers rose. DĂșlinnor then leaned down, scooping Reinette up bridal style. He kept the young woman close, making sure that she would not fall. Aglaron led the way towards their small flat that they'd been sharing will they'd been on patrol. Together, they were able to easily get her into the tree and onto one of the beds.
Only once she was there, tucked in, did Aglaron turn to leave. "Thank you, brother." DĂșlinnor said gratefully. Aglaron shook his head, a small smile on his face. "I'll bring you something to eat. You are supposed to be watching our guest, after all." DĂșlinnor watched as the older Elf left, heading back down the tree and joining the others. Now alone with Reinette, DĂșlinnor glanced to her.
He hoped that she would be okay once she awoke. The Elf made his way to the other bed, laying down upon it so that he could simply rest. He had to admit that he was glad to be in an actual bed. Though he didn't mind sleeping up in a tree, it certainly was a bit more tiring. Aglaron appeared a short time later with some food and sat it off to the side. DĂșlinnor thanked his brother and soon he and Reinette were alone again.
DĂșlinnor got up then, grabbing one of the small plates and exited out onto the small deck. He slowly began eating. He was surprised that his brother had brought food for Reinette as well. He would have to make sure to truly thank the older man later on. Now, looking down below, it was easy to see that most everyone else was enjoying their meal. It did not take him long to finish his own and then headed back into the flat. He placed the now empty plate back down and glanced to the woman once again.
He would allow her to wake on her own though he would be there when she did. He made his way back to the empty bed, laying down on his back once again. He finally allowed his mind to wander, allowing himself to finally get some rest. His eyes remained opened and his breathing became slower, more deeper. He hoped that should Reinette awaken that she would at least eat. He suspected that when she did wake that he would need to speak to her of what she'd been speaking of earlier before she'd fainted.
