[There's lots of fiddling with the tablet, buttons pressed and messages made of seeming gibberish (though some are actually words from her own language that some may recognize) before the video is started. Except it's very blurry and sometimes fades out and comes back on. The important part though is that there's a small elf child on the other end and she looks like she's ready to cry.]

Nana! Ada!

[She then proceeds to throw the tablet and cry.]

He may not have a choice, little one. We did not choose to come here, after all.

[Wait. She knows that face... Celeborn. They have been introduced and have spoken a few times, but she had thought little of him. He had been pleasant enough, but...

She takes a moment to search for a memory involving her. Or..who the child thought she was, anyway. It was so difficult to believe, she just had to be certain.]

[littlesilverqueen]

He'd find a way though.

[Well, she'll be able to find some easy memories of the three of them together. And it's clearly Artanis, Galadriel by then of course.

For now, the small elf will climb into her lap and hug her.]

You'll see, nana. So don't worry, as long as we have each other until he finds us, we'll be okay. Right?

[Then it's true. This... is her child. She's holding a daughter to whom she has not yet given birth. It's strange and overwhelming and...yet it is not all together unpleasant.

She will have a life someday. She will have love. Something other than bitterness and anger will fill her heart.

Artanis holds Celebrían close, burying her face in her silver hair and breathing in the scent. She wasn't ready for this. Not at all. But she would try.]

Of course, henig. I will let no harm befall you.

[She's oblivious to her mothers thoughts and emotions, just snuggling close and holding on, smiling.]

I'll keep you safe too.

[She'd be so sad if her mother got hurt.]
