*nearly dead of LOLs*

that's fantastic, poor Artanis! Glad Celeborn was willing to help!

(I think it's a good thing *I* wasn't drinking anything from *my* cup at the time, I'd have choked on it :D )

[oloriel]

Thank you, so glad it gave you a good laugh!

This is a delightful meeting. :)

[oloriel]

Thank you!

what's an embarrassment! Poor Galadriel. I'm glad Celeborn was so understanding.

[oloriel]

I first meant to write him less understanding and more offended (along the lines of "so you think our customs are improper, do you?"), but then I decided to keep it fluffy for today. Glad it works for you!

What a cute introduction for these two! I'm really feeling Galadriel's mood, "come on, girl, you promised yourself you were going to stop being such a disaster. New land, new life! You can do this!"

[oloriel]

Thank you! And yes, that's basically what she's telling herself! So glad it's getting across!

[marhelf]

What a lovely story! Galadriel is so cute.

[oloriel]

Thank you! She can be - if she wants to! ;)

Oh dear, those different customs always take a bit of getting used to. A lovely introduction to a favorite couple.

They certainly do! And it's always good to have a savvy guide who can hopefully steer you around the most egregious pitfalls...
Thank you!

Aww, this was sweet. I can see it happen, and yay for successful cross-cultural communication! :D

[oloriel]

So glad you liked it! I suppose they both decided to be on their best behaviour that evening, hence the succesful and straightforward communication. Thank you!
