[herstarlight]

Hello? [Her voice sounds thick - almost as if she has been crying. She swallows against the uncomfortable tightness in her throat and speaks louder - clearer.] I assume I have been taken into the hands of the Enemy. Know that I will not go quietly. My injuries will not hamper-

[The lie dies on her lips. Her body is not in good shape and she knows it.]

If I am not amongst Enemies, who amongst you is a Healer? [It's a long shot in the dark and she glances around warily.] My name is Tauriel. I am a Silvan Elf from -

[Nowhere now. She is an exile.]

It matters not. Are there others like myself here? [Silvan, Sindar or even Noldor would be welcome.] I wish to replace my bow and acquire proper arrows.

Goodness, you're injured? Have no fear! I happen to be a healer of exceptional talent and grace, you know. Just sit tight, and I'll have you patched up in no time!

[L'Arachel looks as though she's about to shut off the communicator and head straight out, when something abruptly occurs to her.]

--Oh! But where might I find you, Miss Tauriel?

[video]

[herstarlight]

I would be very grateful for your skills, though I have no way to repay you.

[After glancing at the nearest sign, she reads:]

It is called Maurtia Falls? Do you know of it?

[illuminescent]

I may help you as a healer, as I am one of some skill - and although I am not an elf, I am also in possession of spare arrows, although I have no bow to replace them, as my own is the only one I have.

[herstarlight]

You are very kind for offering anything to a stranger. [She tries to keep standing, but the effort is clearly painful.] I would come to you if circumstances were more favorable.

[dendarii]

[ This place gets weirder every day. Good god, she is pretty... Not important right now though. ]

Are you all right, miss? I have a list of healers that I use - though you have already met Lucy. She is my top recommendation.

[herstarlight]

[This is a good kind of weird, though. She is a young Elf with a good heart who will likely seek to help many once she is healed.]

I fought an Orc. I think some of my ribs might be broken. [Yet that pain is eclipsed by her heart-break over losing Kili.] Where might I find Lady Lucy?

[ This appears to be a damsel in some distress. Stand aside, people. ]

I'm so sorry that you're hurt, Mademoiselle Tauriel. I'm d'Artagnan, a Musketeer of France, and as far removed from home as you are, I'm afraid.

There are several healers here, and I am not among them, but I would commend you to their skill. We are not your enemies.

How badly are you injured? If you need aid in reaching a clinic, I would be glad to oblige.

[herstarlight]

[Only temporarily. She has her pride when she isn't sporting broken bones and a grieving heart.]

I have never heard of France. [It makes sense and she nods, biting her lip.] Thank you for the reassurance. I have seen too many enemies as of late and they have left their mark on me.

[Considering she cannot breathe deep or stand without great pain...]

I believe several ribs are broken. I was thrown against a rock wall by an Orc.

[ Video ]

[enucleation]

I hope you've found a healer by now. I can't help much, except for maybe direct you to an hospital? In case you can walk by yourself.

[ Video ]

[herstarlight]

Thank you. Help has graciously been offered and I should be better in no time.

my music can heal injuries
not just physical wounds
but also pains of the heart and soul

You possess a rare and precious gift indeed. My people love music.

[governorkang]

[Welp, might as well get the inevitable over with, if Silvan means what he thinks it means. If it does, he'll know very soon.]

It is a rare elf, I have noticed, to be brought to this world.

Permavid

[herstarlight]

Some of my people have traveled here before me? Do you recall their names?

[huntergames]

[ Sasha finishes for her: ]

The woodland realm?

[ She recognizes that voice and name. It's been a year, but she doesn't forget that easily. ]

video

[herstarlight]

Yes, how did you know? [She has Tauriel's full attention.] There have been others?

video

[melavasomniar]

Welcome to the party, Tauriel. It's good to see another elf around here. [He's been sure to position the video so his own pointed elven ears are visible.]

I'm Talyn of Clan Lavellan. I'm not a healer per se, but if you still need help I know a healing spell that should do the trick.

video

[herstarlight]

[She is surprised to see another Elf, but the emotion is quickly suppressed. He does not look like he hails from Arda. Then again, why should that be shocking? With all that she has seen, his is a comforting presence.]

I can heal wounds, but I do not know how to bind broken bones. [Besides using splints and such.] I have been given sufficient aid, so you needn't worry. You have my thanks, Lord Talyn.

[vorbarra]

[ How interesting. Mr. sci fi here is incredibly curious to meet an elf. ]

I see that Queen Lucy has already healed you. But no, you're not among enemies-- at least as much as anyone ever is or isn't.

[ He might have a very Barrayaran paranoia about that. ]

[herstarlight]

I am grateful to her and L'Arachel. [Everyone has made it easier to...focus on what lays before her; not what she leaves behind.]

I came from battle. I did not know.

[cleptes]

[ Oh, she is lovely, isn't she? ]

Afraid I can't help you with replacing your bow and arrows. The weapons used here are much more modern than that.

video

[herstarlight]

Modern? Have you ever seen an Elf fire a bow? I could shoot an arrow before you took your next breath.

[assays]

Did you manage to get the help you need?

[Because this is all that Peggy cares about right now.]

video;

[herstarlight]

I did. There are many kind people; I was not expecting that.

video

[burnseternal]

Welcome, Tauriel. Please, do not fear -- you are not among enemies here. Not among us, at the very least. You will find that all in this community have been brought here in the same manner of yours. I would offer to heal you as well, but I see that that has been well taken care of.

[He inclines his head.] I am Saint Walker. I welcome you to this place, however unwilling you may have been to be brought here in the first place.

video

[herstarlight]

I cannot thank you and everyone who has given me kind words and healing enough. [She inclines her head respectfully.] Well met, Saint Walker. I am Tauriel and I will do all I can to repay what has been given to me so freely.

[flowerette]

I have met only one other elf before. You're speaking to him already, actually. But your kind seems quite fascinating.

[ She smiles warmly. ]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Tauriel. I'm Raina.

[herstarlight]

He is not of my world as far as I can tell. I wonder at our similarities and differences.

[It is fascinating and she can't help being curious.]

Hail, Raina. I have been told this world is on the brink of war. What do you know of it?
