Creator’s Notes (optional): It occurred to me that Rosie Cotton/Gamgee should probably be around, too, but let's just say she's visiting kin. For Shirebound for her birthday. <3 Thanks also to Dreamflower for Merry's nickname from Frodo, and also proper manners when one is visiting an unwell hobbit during mealtime!

Creator’s Notes (optional): Ninglorien's name means "yellow flag" or "yellow lily/iris" - ninglor is the name for the "gladden" of the Gladden Fields. I have chosen to take the "iris" name to fit with the Language of Flowers card. Her relationship with Miriel is symbolic of the relationship she wishes to have with Nimrodel.
Summary: After the Fellowship comes to Lothlorien, we are told Legolas is away with the Elves much of the time, separated from the rest of the Fellowship. This is one of the first of those times, if not the very first.
