Laeriel and Sahrien walked through the city streets, observing the hustle and bustle going on about them. They stopped a woman on the street to ask her what was going on.
"Haven't you heard?" She asked.
"Nay, we are strange to these parts and know nothing of the goings on of the city," Sahrien answered.
"Well then, I'll tell you! You wouldn't believe it but..." The lady told them the entire tale, the coming fight with Deollyn, the supposed love-affair with Namün, everything. It was quite lucky for them, but the person who they were talking to was actually a servant in the palace, and a friend of Namün, and her story was free from embelishments and exaggerations. Still, it was quite an amazing tale. Sahrien and Laeriel were astonished. They bid the lady goodbye and went on their way.
"Do you believe her?" Laeriel asked.
"Dear sister, I don't know what I believe these days," Sahrien replied.
"Should we perhaps go and watch the fight? It would be something we don't want to miss, I think. It is important to us, since we still need to speak with Elessar," Laeriel said. Sahrien agreed, and they turned around and followed the crowd of people, who were obviously heading to see the fight. Laeriel was busy listening to snippets of gossip and people betting around her, but something else was on Sahrien's mind.
"What did you say the last time you talked with Rhylin?" Sahrien asked. Laeriel looked suprised.
"I bid him farewell, you were there. Why do you ask, sister?"
"You know why I ask. He's been lonely without you. Arracus often wanders off and forgets about him, and loves to talk to you. You change him for the better, Laeriel. When will you be able to see that?" Sahrien grasped her sister by the shoulders, Laeriel tried to look away, "Look at me, Laeriel," Laeriel turned to face her sister, "He loves you. With all his heart and soul, he loves you more than the trees in the forest, more than the mountains of our homeland, more than every creature mother earth has created. He needs you more than air, food, and water. You are his food, Laeriel, you're what gives him life. When, Laeriel, when will you see that?" Sahrien loosened her grip on Laeriel. Laeriel turned away, and walked on, slightly ahead of Sahrien.
"What makes you think I don't see it?" she said, after a long silence. Tears began to fall, and Sahrien embraced Laeriel.
"I do not mean to cause you pain, I just believe you shouln't ignore it," Sahrien said. They joined arms, and followed the crowds rushing to see their kind fight. Laeriel did not stop crying, silent tears fell as she thought about her friend, Rhylin.
