As the Prince locked the door behind her. Yavanna's eyes met with his for a few moments. She was silent. As their eyes were held together for a few moments, in that glance; she felt her heart speed up slightly. Wondering what he was thinking. Yavanna glanced down at her lap...as she heard him retreat. After he was gone, she just closed her eyes. She wondered how they were going to get out of this.[i] Why...god...why did Thorin have to be so stubborn?[/i] she thought to herself.

Thranduil watched her every move carefully. He closed his eyes briefly..before he opened them again. "How did you even know her? She never mentioned you..." his voice cracked slightly..but he quickly composed himself again. Not letting the pain and memory of his long dead wife, get the better of him. He was better than that.

Listening to her speak, maybe she was right. There was some truth to her words. "Very well, if you shall retrieve the Gems. I shall do my best to keep my word to you and promise, that Mirkwood will thrive and not fall."
