Arawan sat as the bird flew through the air. When she comes, if she comes, we shall talk.

(This is also coming from Open Plains; Passing through the Plains)
Menel lowered her hood and looked around the dark forest. The birds were chirping up in the high branches; a lovely sound they made for any other elf, but she hated it. Her green elven eyes scanned the tops of the trees and the undergrowth on the ground, searching for Arawan. He called me here.... He shall have to find me.She thinks as she slows Sereg to a stop and dismoutns. She fiddles with the reins as she waits.

Arawan steps out from behind a tree a few yards from Menel. He sees it startles her a little and he reaches out his palm. "I did not think that mighty Menel would be scared so easily, " he retorted, "Welcome to Druadan."
Arawan grinned and walked slowly to a tree stump, he sat down heavily and motioned for Menel to join him. "Please, please. Make yourself at home. You may be here awhile."

Menel threw the reins over Sereg's back and let him stand freely. She arched her eyebrow as she followed Arawan to a tree stump, crossing her arms over her chest, but refusing to sit. She stood in front of him, looking down at him.
"Why have you called me here today, Arawan? Could you not find anything else to amuse yourself with?" She asked as her eyes narrowed. "Surely you do not need me to tell you what to do."

Arawan grimaced and looked up at Menel. "No," he snarled, " I do not need you to tell me anything. I want you to." Arawan stood up and looked her straight in the eye. "Do not think I have forgotten about this," he whispered, "My life is in ruins because of you, and you are going to help me continue it."
Arawan turned and walked a few paces away from Menel, his back facing her. "I''ve been going without guidance ever since the war," he said, "I need a task to enforce, a village to destroy, a guild to join..." Arawan's voice trailed off as he quickly turned back to Menel. "Let me join you," he stated, "this Nevias creature I hear of, he knows nothing. Nothing! Do you not remember the team we made during the war? It can be reborn."

Menel tilted her head as she watched Arawan in annoyance, "Some team indeed..... I seem to recall someone fleeing from battle on the beast he was rewarded," She glared. Though.... This fool may be of some use yet..... We'll see...She thought as she eyed him.

Arawan stood stiff and peered into Menel's dark eyes. He growled and spit out, "I know what you think, Menel. When you blessed me-" Arawan rethinked his words, "Cursed me, with your powers, you also endowed upon me your sense of mind reading. USE ME!? Is that your plan for me in this world? I came here for help and guidance, and you plan to use me. It looks like Menel of mirkwood has not changed."

Menel smirked, "No, she has not. What do you need help with? It seems to me you've been fine living on your own. Though, something has come up. A proposition was made to me last night. But..... Would you be interested? You say this is a cursed life. Well, do you want your old one back? You are entitled to a choice." She looked hard at him, watching his every move and every pause. She waited for his response.

Arawan turned away from Menel and stared hard at the ground. He was living a terrible life. He had no one to talk to, no one to be guided by, nothing. Then again, deep down in his heart he was truly a happy and merry elf, like most all other elves. Then something hit him. "What do I have to go back to?" He said, "I have no family, no friends, no home. Do you think they will welcome me back after this!?"
Arawan turned back to Menel and looked a bit angry. "I join you."

"Very well." Menel replied. She let her arms fall to her side as she looked Arawan up and down. The crimson ring on his finger was still there, untouched. She relaxed a bit and decided to sit down. She leaned back against a fallen branch and looked back up at Arawan, "About this proposition," she begins, "Nevias wants to overthrow Mirkwood." She locked eyes with him, expressing that she would love to also, but also showing what his opinions were on this.

A chilling grin crept across Arawan's face as he kept his eyes focused on Menel's. "Sounds like a plan," he whispered, "When do we begin?" Arawan stood up and walked over to Menel. He stopped a few feet away and stuck out his hand in a proud manor.

Menel took Arawan's hand and pulled herself up. "We'll begin when Nevias is finished with what he's doing." She told him. She glanced over at Sereg when he began to paw at the ground. She went to him and calmed him by slowly stroking his neck. "I'll find out what he's planning." she says, looking at Sereg.

Arawan took a few steps away and looked at Menel stroking Sereg. "Of course you will find out what he is planning. And so will I. I do not plan on working with someone I've never met before. Take me to Nevias, we can talk over a nice bit of lembas."
Arawan whistled for his horse as he came trotting through the forest and to his side. He began stroking his mane, just like Menel was. Arawan glanced back at Menel and took an assumption. "When do we ride out?"

Menel glanced over her shoulder at Arawan, "Calm yourself," she said as she turned back to Sereg, "He is busy with other affairs at the moment. We must wait to see how things turn out." She unlatched the girth of the saddle and took it off Sereg. She went over and put it on a log. She sighed as she laid her bag on the saddle while taking a brush from it and started to brush Sereg down.

Arawan nodded and sat back down on the wet ground. "I am sorry," he said, "I'm just very eager." He picked up a stick and began to break it in halves on his knee, until it was too small to break. He then grasped it tightly and through it over his shoulder. "What plan do you have exactly? 3 elves cannot overthrow the entire defences of Mirkwood."
