Pushing the palantir away, Arwen tried to control her rage. She did not want it here. She would rather Elessar had, and then at last she could be free of the pictures. Leaving the circular sanctuary of her room, she strode back out to Arracus, who was watcing Rhylin intently.
"Arracus," she whispered, "is he alright?" She nudged her head in Rhylins direction.
"Another vision. It'll be over in a minute." Arracus returned to watching his friend closely.
"Does he get a lot then, I mean, more than others?" Arwen asked. Arracus did not seem to mind her question.
"Yes. Many. Some of us can go hundreds of years with only a few, but Rhylin cannot go a week.I do not know why, it is just something that happens to him."
Now the conversation turned to herself, and she noticed Arracus glance down to the slight swelling at her waist. "How long of you carried the child?" He asked.
"A little over five months." Came the reply. Arracus looked shocked-
"Five months! Then how long before birth?" He sounded so suprised, that Arwen was quite worried.
"A little under four months." Her voice was laden with aprehension, why was he so shocked at these facts?
Arracus shook his head.
"I am sorry Arwen, I just forgot. For us, it is not practical to bear a child for that kind of time, and therefore solved the problem." Arracus eased her nerves, but now it looked as if it was her turn to be suprised. "You see, we have a draught. It speeds up the time- why, if you have carried the child for a few months, you could give birth within two weeks!"
Arwen was amazed. Two weeks! As much as the idea sounded appealing, was she ready to be a mother in two weeks?
"I am un-sure. Maybe. But first, I must return to Minas Tirith. I need to speak with Elessar, I have un-finished buisiness, and the sooner that I can straighten affirs with him, then I will consider it." Arracus thought she would have jumped at the chance, but it was clear she needed a little persuasion.
"I say this only because I am your friend- but there are hard times ahead, when one would not wish to be heavy with child. After your visit to Elessar, please take the draught."
Arwen nodded. It was agreed then, Arracus would take her to see Elessar, and on her return, she would take the draught.
