Ettelëamë sighed and hugged the coat close to her as she walked, it wasn't too cold but she was in a dress, and since she was not very use to walking around in such, she was slightly more sensitive to the elements. She glanced at Edlothia uneasily as they got closer to town, voices murring and mumbling. How would everyone react to this, would she get lucky and not be seen? She wasn't sure but she felt nervous in the pit of her stomach. No good would come from this, but she still had her hair to protect her,she didn't know any elf that was attracted to short hair.

The Elvenking was deep in his thoughts as he made his way to his study. Having just come from his last meeting of the day with his councillors and with nothing left on his daily schedule, he was in no rush to reach his destination and had decided to take a longer route. He found that he could think better when he was alone, for the pressure of pleasing each of his councillors was lifted and he could think freely. Currently his mind ran through the various decisions that the council had both made and proposed for the upcoming seasons- he would have to review each one carefully and think of how best he could put the proposals into action.
Though even with council meetings, none of this was easy. Thranduil had a duty to help and protect as many of his people as he could, but the council's decisions would not always fit with that and so that left Thranduil with the decision of whether it was worth putting others at risk for the potential benefits. It was not an easy decision to make and Thranduil would spend long hours seeking council from others and thinking on the matter before giving his decision.
In matter of fact, the Elvenking was so enveloped in his own thoughts that he almost did not notice the young elleth walking past him. And it was only until they almost brushed past each other that he was drawn from his thoughts and focused on the elleth. As he instantly recognised her distinct features that set her apart from many, he smiled very lightly.
"It is a pleasure to see you Ettelëamë," He greeted warmly but as he looked over her, he could not help but notice there was something different about her- though he was not certain what it was.
And then it struck him. He had never seen her wearing a dress before-
He pondered whether this was due to him only ever catching her when she was training or practising her swordsmanship or whether it was because she simply did not wear dresses frequently.
"Are you headed for a celebration I was not told of? I should hope that you are not organising some form of feast without having invited me!" He said with feigned hurt.

Edlothia waved at Etteleame inpatiently, "Come on, Flamey, walk faster. Or it's gonna be dinnertime when we finish all this." She said as she waited for the other one to catch up, the hubbubs of the living area unfolding before them.
It was a perfectly normal day. Everybody went about their own business, talking to each other in soft, murmuring voices. Though the shadow of the forest hovered uneasily over them, but in this clearing people were as mirthful as usual. Such it has always been since the earliest of her memories, nothing had ever changed over time, and Edlothia appreciated that. Well, nobody realized that today was as exciting as any festival would be for Edlothia. The smell of food drawn her to the marketplace, tilted from the main road. And for a moment Edlothia was lost again, in the smell of roasted meat, wine and fruit. There must be some private feast going on today, and she was tempting to pop in and help herself to something - that would be extremely rude, however. The rational part of Edlothia snapped herself as her other more emotional part unwillingly dragged her body back to the main street, while still bellowing for Etteleame to catch up.
This had little chance of success, Edlothia knew, but she didn't care as much now. The point is to have fun, and she've never had so much fun in any dress as in this one. Etteleame's tight dress had a dark green hue to it, and it was a fairly strange fabric that reflected light. The dress covered her body perfectly and made a squishy sound whenever Edlothia took a step. This was fun for herself, but she needed to ensure fun for her companion too. Edlothia couldn't help chuckle at the thought of how many compliments will Etteleame receive today and how would she react to them. Well, all of this was about the last... surprise? Edlothia hoped that Etteleame's caretaker was at home.
The thing about attractiveness and her Flamey's short hair worried Edlothia, but in the end she thought that it would be fine. It was Etteleame's caretaker whom had lived with her Flamey since the beginning of time! If Edlothia lived with a spider when she was fairly little and gazed upon it everyday, she would gladly marry it when she became older (but the thing is, Edlothia haven't lived with one). So she guessed that it should be the same for that duo.
"Faster, Flamey!" Edlothia finally couldn't bear it anymore. She couldn't even see Etteleame in her vision field despite the looking ability that her race was blessed with. So Edlothia rushed back, the wind sharp and cold against her skin. She tugged the furry coat closer.
"Aw, and don't you talk to strangers...!" Edlothia commented as she saw Etteleame, herself panting heavily from the fast run. But when she fixed her gaze she found that 'stranger' to be the Overseer.
For Iluvatar's sake! All of the shifts I missed are because of I forget, and I didn't mean to destroy that strange ornament at last last time's feast, I don't even know what that is... Edlothia's face became pale as dead, as she subconsciously stretched herself and stood firmly in a guard's pose. She hailed the King, and finally managed a hello before she tugged Etteleame lightly: "Let's go!"

Ettelëamë was walking at a less than normal speed as Edlothia nagged her to move. She huffed, her eyes burning with annoyance though her face seemed calm. "I'm coming! " She called back, moving a tad bit faster, but obviously in no rush. She closed her eyes and walked faster,as she did she heard footsteps and assumed her impatient friend had come to drag her along, but as she heard a smooth calm,masculine voice she realized that she was wrong.
She stopped where she stood and looked up towards the voice before seeing no other but the king, she smiled a little. "It's a pleasure to see you as well, my king" she answered softly. Her hair was hanging around her little face as her crown from spider legs sat on her head.
She felt slightly less annoyed until she realized something, he looked slightly surprised, he had never seen her in a dress before. And just to clarify her suspensions the king questioned her with a joke. She couldn't help but chuckle as he pretended to have hurt feelings. "Oh, Arahar,I would never have a feast and not invite you, for you are the life of the party and things would be drastically boring without your presence " she answered before giggling once more "I usually don't wear such gowns but Edlothia somehow convinced me to " just as she spoke of her pal she came running over, saying something in a breathless huff about strangers.
Edlothia seemed in a rush as she attempted to drag her away. "Hey,Ellie, why such a rush,a small chat shouldn't hurt much?" She inquired curiously
((I'm not sure if I translated it right, but Arenaras is supposed to be "king of deer" , it's kinda a nickname, if I did it wrong please tell me ))

(Arachar would probably be a more suitable translation But seeing as these Elves are all Silvan and thus do not have the ‘ch’ sound, you’d be looking at Arahar.) “ You are most correct mellonemin” Thranduil smiled down at the young swordsman “ Or do you wish to go by Lhingrin now?” He said noting the crown of what appeared to be constructed of spider legs- or at the very least certainly smelt as though it had been made from them. If it had been any other Elf who had approached him with such an ornament on their head, Thranduil would have likely worried for their sanity. But he had known Ettelëamë long enough to realise that this was simply who she was. Though they were not alone for long as Edlothia approached the two, complaining loudly about Ettelëamë not keeping up. Thranduil smiled and shook his head lightly at the two young ellyth, how time once seemed so precious when he was young as well. But there seemed to be a wave of horror wash over Edlothia’s face as she saw that Ettelëamë was conversing to him and she saluted him formally, before rather noticeably trying to hurry Ettelëamë along. Thranduil had a feeling that Edlothia was indeed aware of her rather impressive lack of attendance on patrols as well as the comments that Thranduil had received on her attitude towards respecting orders from her elders. “At ease soldier,” Thranduil smiled at Edlothia, raising a brow at her obvious attempt to get away before Thranduil had the chance to comment. “ I think a few guardsmen would like to thank you for being so considerate as to leave more fun for them when they are out on their patrols young one. Perhaps you would like to meet with me in my study this evening and we can discuss a few matters in private if you wish to share anything with me.” He said, getting that out of the way and done with. Tarthadir had meant to tell her that she was to speak with her captains and commanders later this very day for the evening patrol, but Thranduil decided it best he tell her now in case she did not show for that. And at least she would be speaking to Thranduil alone rather than a council of guardsmen and captains who could be very unforgiving at times. “ So is there any particular event of note that I am unaware of that you have dressed for?” Thranduil asked still curious as to why the two of them- who Thranduil was most accustomed to seeing in more practical clothing, should be in formal (more or less) attire.

"I -" Edlothia was caught lost between words when Ette casually shot a question at her. She would stand and let them chat if it was one of those normal days (though that did not mean that she was any less scared of the Overseer), but this had been a time where everything crashed together. Edlothia was busy learning how to become a matchmaker, and it had gone up to such intent that she had even forgot a good number of her shifts (totally not because of the reason that a strange odor was rising around the borders recently, Edlothia suspected mushroom though). Right now the least thing she want was the King be reminded of it.
She relaxed herself down when the Overseer spoke, and thought for a split second that she was fine again. The Overseer must have something else troubling him- The horror rushed down on her before she could even finish the joyous thought. Edlothia's eyes fluttered with apprehension, and she swallowed before managed herself to not fall and faint. She had been avoiding superiors ever since she started serving as a Guard, and had done so quite successfully in the pass years. To be frank this was quite beyond her imagination - Edlothia thought that some severe castigation from one of her captains and an increasing number of shifts in the next few months would be it. She thought least of all of a private audience with the King. Edlothia became wordless as she smiled wanly and awkwardly, finally conjuring up a weak reply - "...Of course, Your Highness. I will be there on time." Edlothia raised up a hand to excuse herself, then hid behind Etteleame to think of what to say when the dreaded evening time comes.
Though when the Overseer asked the question of what was it exactly that they are doing, Edlothia turned around, this time as joyous as any occasion - she was good at forgetting. "Ah, that will require a bit of explanation!" She said in a delightful tone, "I myself personally think that this young lady here will need quite a bit of reformatting in order to -" Flamey is here. She is not to know the true purpose, or she will run away screaming and refusing. " - see another special side of herself. Though I do think that she is no less amazing in her normal attires. Plus, she will have more fun and a few surprises at the end." Edlothia was always good at saying good things about other people, and she meant it genuinely. Though she had no idea how would the other two react to what she said, in her mind she still thought that she did a pretty good job.
So she beamed, the audience in the evening hiding dim in her mind as the more radiant part of the day shone bright.

Ettelëamë stood there silently as the two had a seemingly serious conversation about the guard and Edlothia's efforts. But all too soon the conversation was turned back to her and her dear little ellie was blabbing on rather suspiciously about the whole ordeal. Maybe she would just sneak away while they were talking. She would just turn and casually walk in the opposite direction. She was sure if she walked quietly and quickly enough she would get away, but where should she head,somewhere she wouldn't be found of course. But where was that? The forest,the lake,her house? Yes,her house, no one had been there before and so no one should know how to get there. Without farther delay that's where she headed, hoping to get out of this situation.
