Elianna banked the fire and looked over and the man with straw hair curled in a bed roll fast asleep. She gave him a gentle nudge with her foot, "Up! Come on, sun's up so you should be up too!" She smiled at her little brother as his hazel emerald eyes, so much like hers, fluttered open.
Rhun groaned and sat up, run his fingers through his hair to brush it from his eyes. "Fine. I'm up!" he said, still just sitting there. After a couple of minutes he rolled up his blanket and packed it away, joining his sister for breakfast. Swallowing the last bites he picked up the polished leather saddle, placing it lovingly on Archen's glossy black back. He noticed Elianna already had Hathra, her white war horse, saddled.
They both mounted their horses, Elianna's red braid wipping wildly around in the wind. With a click of heels they headed south, not sure what they were destined for or where they were headed.

Having decided to move onto Rohan after spending a while in Gondor, Rose walked through the streets of Rohan, impressed by the magnificent horses and people she was seeing. Then it caught her eye, the beautiful white war horse and its striking companions. Walking over to meet these people who looked kind enough she said, "Hi, Im Primrose but everyone calls me Rose"

Rhun and Elianna glanced at each other and reached an unspoken consent, their names could do no harm. "I'm Elianna Helyanwe and this is my younger brother, Rhun," she said, giving the girl a king smile. Hathra shook his mane and pawed the ground.
Rhun smiled more widely then his sister and extended a hand to Rose. "Hullo there!" Rhun said his usual greeting cheerily. Archen, his black war horse, extended her nose to sniff the girl. "Hey there! Don't worry, she's friendly, only bitten one person as far as I know," he showed her his hand with a small scar on his pinky, "Me."
Elianna grinned at her brother, he always had an easier time making friends, he was just like that, carefree and open. "Nice to meet you Rose, are you from Rohan?" she'd never seen a girl like this and her own village had been not to far from here.

"No, Im not from here. I'm from the Shire, I'm a hobbit. Are you from Rohan?" she asked. Liking them both immediately.

"Yeah. We grew up not far from here, but we don't have a home any more," Rhun said this, not sadly though, in fact his smile only faltered slightly when speaking of his destroyed home.
Elianna with interest at the hobbit. "I've heard of your folk! The Shire..." she thought for a moment," That's North-West isn't it?" She decided sitting on Hathra only forced her to crane her neck more, dismounted, Rhun followed suit. Still they had to crane their necks a great deal, Elianna being 5'11" and Rhun, even though he was two years younger, 6'3". The two didn't even need to hold the horses' reins, they just stood there obediently.
"What brings you to Rohan, Land of the Horse Lords?" Rhun asked, spreading his arms wide and almost hitting a passerby in the face. "Oh! AH! Sorry about that!" he said wincing as the man shouted a couple insults at him.
Elianna clapped him on the shoulder reassuringly, "Don't let him get to you, Rhun." She needn't have said those words though because Rhun's smile had already returned brighter then ever.

Rose laughed, "Yes thats north west from here. I'm actually just taking a vacation. And I've always wanted to see it {and Gondor} so I just decided to visit the two cities. So if its not to rude to ask, what happened to your home?" Rose was wondering about these people, they were much nicer then the first people she had met in Gondor.

Elianna's face grew a little harder and sadder she looked about to speak before Rhun cut her off. "We were out riding and we came back to find it in ruins, our parents dead. Orcs had done it and we chased them, killed a few but got ourselves pretty beat up in the process," Rhun said quickly, without the saddness one would expect. His smile wasn't as wide but otherwise he showed no sign his spirit was sad. Elianna nodded quietly, staring at her feet. Hathra blew into her ear and she smiled, he was so odd.

"Oh my word! I am so sorry. I can't imagine!" Rose said. "So do you know where any inns are? I just got into town today. And I am still a little lost. I've just been wandering the streets."

Rhun nodded enthusiasticaly as Elianna answered. "Yeah, I know where a good, cheap inn is. Follow me." She nodded down the street as Rhun followed next to Archen. Hathra lagged a little and sniffed Rose's head. Giving a friendly snort he began to nuzzle and butt her with his head all over. It was as if he wanted something.

Elensar stepped out of the Inn and swung her pack over her tall, slender frame. She saw a odd group of people approching....two humans and a hobbit. That was unusual. Hobbits usually never came this far south. When they reached her she spoke, "What are two humans and a hobbit doing traveling together in Rohan." She raised her brow, "I have not seen this for years. I am Elensar of Lorien. And who might you be."

"Great, Thanks" said Rose as she walked along. " Um wahts your horse doing?' All of the sudden she gasped and darted behind Rhun "That person up there, ahead of us, I ran into her in Gondor, she was with a very weird woman." "I've seen you before you were with that woman in Gondor werent you?" She spoke up bravely coming out from behind Rhun. " and we aren't really traveling together, they are showing me an inn to stay at while I'm visiting."

Hathra continued searching Rose until Elianna took his reins and produced an apple. "He's got a sweet tooth, sorry, he also lacks manners," she grinned and patted her horse's head.
Rhun greeted the newcomer. "Hullo there! I'm Rhun Helyanwe and this is my sister Elianna. It would seem Lady Rose has meet you already. Therefore I am honored to have made your aquiantance. He smiled and bowed, ignoring Elianna roll her eyes.

Rose muttered "its not like she's a good aquantance!. I am Primrose Pridemare of the Shire, Elanor's daughter is my best friend {I assume you know of Elanor?} I have heard of Lorien. Is it as nice as they say it is?"
