The Untold Tale of Middle Earth (Shadowfax and DarkHuntress)

[Dark Huntress]

(OOC: How do Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas show up?)
Celina nodded, looking pleased and they all filed out of the lofty room after Maranwe. They stopped in front of the stalls as several magnificent horses were led towards them. Celina politely declined here . "I'm more of a strider," she gave Maranwe a little bit of a smile as the others mounted and headed for the gate. She laughed as Wulf patted his horse's neck and spok to it softly.
"Are you in love with your horse, Wolfboy?" She stopped as he gave her a weird look,"What?" He shrugged,"First time I've heard you laugh, it was nice?"
Celina rolled her eyes, blushing a little. "Well don't get used to it," she said sharply,"Because I doubt you'll hear it again, Wolfboy."

[Shadowfax]

(Sorry for delayed reply. Had an exhausting few days Maybe they can bump into them on the way out the gates?)

Maranwe gave Celina a sort of look that suggested the words 'suit yourself' She shrugged and leapt up onto the horse that had been prepared for her. True to her word, Eowyn had also provided twenty able bodied soldiers to assist them with their hunt for orc. She nodded to them and they too began to follow the party out of the gates of Rohan. She pulled her mare to a halt however to look up at the castle. Eowyn watched from the castle above and she bowed her head low in respect.

"Come on you lot, let's got hunt some orc!" She called, spurring her horse into a canter.

[Dark Huntress]

Celina picked up her pace, moving in a evenly paced jog that she knew she could maintain for a long time. She swerved out of the way quickly to avoid running into a very short, stout man, whom she identified by his armor and beard as a dwarf. "Very sorry," she mumbled skirting by him, then stopped to observe the two men that had yet to enter the fortress. The taller one, a stout well built handsome man with black, shoulder length hair, seemed to have something more about him that's just the guarded air of a warrior, whereas, the elegant man on the right with sky blue eyes, pale skin, and white, neatly kept hair just seemed rather royal, owing to the fact he was obviously elvish.
She smiled as Aidyn nudged the small girl and the young boy as they openly stared at the two approaching strangers. Fortunately, Maranwe paused to investigate them and the three farm kids weren't left behind with Celina.

[Shadowfax]

Marawne pulled on her horses reins, sending the horses head into the air at her sudden halt. She steadied her hands and let the mare relax. She reason for the sudden halt was the appearence of three men. Blinking to take them in, her eyes suddenly widened with recognition.

"Strider?" She managed after sometime.

The man bowed his head somewhat, but the Dwarf raised his axe threateningly as Maranwe spoke to them. The elf just looked on confused, but the man who Maranwe addressed looked up at her.

"It has been a while child" He said.

[Dark Huntress]

Celina's eyebrows rose at the address. She countered the curious looks of the elf and dwarf with defiant ones of her own and shuffled her boots on the prairie grass-people made her quite uncomfortable. She heard quiet whispers from Ewyn and Elwyna.
"Talk to them-your name means elf-friend," Ewyn prompted his short, contrasted sister. "No," she hissed back. Celina rolled her eyes: siblings! She sighed and turned back to the strangers. The dwarf seemed uncomfortable like her, as did the elf, though it's hard to tell with stoic elves. She looked up at Maranwe and waited for the conversation to finish.

[Shadowfax]

"Indeed it has" Maranwe said after some time as she looked from one to the other.

She had no idea who the elf and the dwarf were, but she had spent a good few months with Aragorn out in the wild. He was a ranger of the north and she had bumped into him during her wanderings of the North before she came to Rohan. She smiled and shook the mans hand before turning to the others who looked a little on edge.

"It's ok, they are no threat to us" She assured Aidyn and the others.

[Dark Huntress]

Aidyn still watched them uneasily; he'd never seen an elf or dwarf. He was a s curious as his siblings and was quite unable to react to Ewyn's cheeky pressuring. "Stop." He barely whispered, finally taking his brown eyes off of the strangers. He felt a little satisfied that Celina seemed rather enamoured as well, albeit it a much more subtle way.
"Should we move out soon?" He asked.

[Shadowfax]

"Aye, we better. We are hunting orc" She said, turning from the others back to Aragorn.

"Will you be in Rohan long Strider?" She asked the man.

"I do not know that yet" He answered.

Maranwe held his gaze for a moment. She had so much to ask him and so much she wanted to talk to him about, so she just had to pray he would be at Rohan when she returned. She nodded to the three of them before kicking her mare onwards.

"You better be there when we return" She called back to them as she led the riders north.

[Dark Huntress]

Celina glanced at Maranwe's back, wondering what the significance of that conversation had been. "So," Wulf reigned his horse by her, slowing its pace to match hers,"No horse, huh?" She gave him a haughty look. "I'll pick up a ride later," she stated, a small smirk tugging at her full lips.
"You can ride my horse," he slowed as she gave him an icy glare,"if you want. You don't want to be tired if we happen upon something or someone."
Celina sighed. She hated it when people made plausible points against her. She sighed."Whatever." She gripped his forearm as he held his arm out to her and pulled herself up.
"I'll try not to kill him with my weight," she said, wrapping her arms hesitantly around around his waist. "This is awkward."
