[The typing is slow, fingers unfamiliar with working the tablet effectively but finally this elven woman gets a message out:]

i do not know how to speak with her but i must for we are together in this war

i find i must ask for help

[ Anders is exceedingly slow with texting, but he'll suffer through it for a case like this. ]

Do you love her?

text

[lordofthevalley]

Have you asked those that she knows here about how to handle such a thing?

[Hi dear, he can do this too :3]

text

[ladyofrivendell]

[She feels you Anders. She's just too shy to show her face just now.]

i do

even if i do not know her yet she is still my child

text

[ladyofrivendell]

[Hi hon, let her guilt all over you :3]

i have not

i feel as a failure for not knowing that it would hurt to ask

[birdhousesoul]

Do you fear her?

[ladyofrivendell]

of course not

[birdhousesoul]

If this is so, why hesitate to approach her?

[ladyofrivendell]

i am not yet even married and know nothing of her

it hurts to think of not knowing my own child

[birdhousesoul]

What do you remember of her?

[ladyofrivendell]

that her beauty is sung of and that she is compared to luthien who was also called tinuviel

[birdhousesoul]

Well. They say beauty's only skin deep. Have you got any notion what sort of a person she is really? Or don't you trust the opinion of whatever person has told you you've got a daughter here?

Tell you wish to speak to her, but do not know how to. Perhaps an adventure best worked out between parent and child.

[demonbloodblade]

As an orphan, whose mother died in childbirth, I cannot count the things I would do to know her.

Perhaps speaking plainly of how things are for you, so she understands that there are things you do not know she might expect you to, might be a course of action.

It may not be the best action, but there may not really be a 'best' action.

[dirges]

You do not know her yet?

[ladyofrivendell]

only that she grew well and has two brothers who are inclined to cause mischief

i trust my mother and elrond more than any others

text

[ladyofrivendell]

an adventure it may very well become

voice

[fintastic]

That would be a little weird. What kind of help do you want? Someone to go with you?

text

[urnotafraid]

[How do you answer such a question like that? Sho had left his daughter when he was turned and while it was out of anger and hurt, he always regretted that he did not have the courage to speak to her and see her grow into the woman that painted with her mother's skill but his heart. It takes him a few moments before he answers. ]

I would just talk to her. Approach her and try to get to know her.

It's hard to do it but I think any child would love to meet with a parent they might not know very well.

text

[ladyofrivendell]

my heart goes our to you truly

perhaps that would be easiest if not the best

text;

[ladyofrivendell]

i do not she was on a mission when i arrived and has recently returned

and i am from a time when i am not yet wed to her father

voice

[ladyofrivendell]

[Okay, she'll switch to voice. Typing is getting harder. And easier at the same time.]

No. It would be best that I meet her alone, I should think.

I find myself more confused on how to talk with her than anything.

text

[ladyofrivendell]

very hard but i believe you may be right

i will ask elrond where it is she is living

text

[lordofthevalley]

[So everyone can see how they are the best couple, right?]

She will talk with you as I would. And she knows you are here, you asking such things in this manner will only prolong it.

[birdhousesoul]

If you trust their judgment, and they judge she grew up to be a good person, then you may have little to fear.

Are you afraid you might harm her in some way?

[oncearanger]

I can't imagine how difficult that would be.

Start with hello, maybe? Figure out what you have in common?
