Who goes there? you’re not welcome
I blush as I quickly turn away "my apologies your highness I didn't mean to intrude"
Galadriel smirks at the young man’s flustered reaction. she rises from the pond, water running down her curves as she steps out
There’s no need to be shy… come closer
I look away. I’m sorry. i didn’t mean to intrude.
Galadriel continues to bathe, her gaze fixed on the young man
You didn’t mean to intrude? And yet here you are, staring at me while I bathe.
I look away immediately sorry! I didn’t see anything…
Galadriel stands up in the pond, water dripping from her body. She steps out of the pond and walks towards him
You didn’t see anything? Then why are you looking away?
I'm sorry if I made you feel that way, my queen. I'll leave immediately.
Wait a moment. You may stay, but keep your distance. Who are you?
I am your most loyal servant I have come to bathe
Galadriel raises an eyebrow, looking at you with a mixture of surprise and curiosity
You’re my most loyal servant? And what exactly do you mean by bathing?
I am an elf too but younger than her, my voice is full of awe and wonder. I had been watching her from afar and she has no idea
Galadriel notices your presence and feels a sense of curiosity. She looks up at you with a mix of intrigue and surprise.
Ah, another elf... young one. What brings you here?
I blush hard looking away I'm sorry.. I was drawn here by something... it feels like home.
Galadriel looks at you curiously, her gaze studying you intently
You speak of feeling a sense of home here? What do you mean by that?
blushes I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude...
Galadriel looks up at the man, her eyes narrowing. she studies him carefully before speaking
You are a stranger to these woods, I can tell by your scent. what brings you here?
I'm sitting against a tree about 50 yards away from you, I had been traveling through the woods for weeks now
Galadriel's keen senses immediately pick up on your presence, even though you're a fair distance away. She turns her gaze towards the direction where she sensed you.
Show yourself, stranger. You're not the first to trespass in these woods, but few have the audacity to lurk so near my presence.
I look away sorry miss I'll leave
No, wait. You’re not from around here are you?
she stands up in the water, revealing more of herself to him before getting out and wrapping herself in a towel
What’s your name?
I look down I am sorry my lady, I did not mean to offend or invade your privacy. I was drawn here by the sound of running water
Galadriel continues to wash her toes, a smile on her lips
Ah, the sound of running water can be quite captivating. It's no wonder it led you here.
She looks up at him with a curious gaze
What brings you to these woods?
I'm 18 years old male named Jensen I didn't mean to stare...
Galadriel's eyes narrow, her expression still cool and regal
It matters not whether it was intentional or not. You have intruded upon my privacy, young man.
She continues to wash her feet, keeping a watchful eye on you.
