Tossing the brush back into her bag, Menel turned back to face Arawan, but she didn't look at him. She kept her focus on the branches above him. "Three could do it.... We'd attack from the inside out... At their hearts.... Giving them no hope... Maybe get a few guards on the outskirts of the forest under our power.... Yes, yes we can do it." She said softly, as if she were thinking aloud. She took no notice of Arawan and turned back to Sereg and put his saddle back on him. She tightened the girth and turned around, leaning on him, she looked down at her boots.

Arawan scratches his chin and gazed out beyond the tree canopy. The forest was dark and shadowy, and Arawan felt a little nervous being in it with Menel. "Is this your plan, or is it the work if Nevias? It will surely not work, Mirkwood has allies in Rivendell. Mattheapar will be summoned as king and a new age will begin there. Thousands of elves will march to their aid, along with the help of Gondor and Rohan. You see Menel, we may have the mind to do it, but not strength of arms. By the time we corrput their leaders our heads will be burning at the steak."

"Yes, they will at how you look at it. Rivendell is on the other side of the mountains... And Gondor is far south. It will take more than a couple days for them each to get here, if Mirkwood sends for aid. We'll find a way to bring them to their knees." She answered. Menel looked to the tops of the trees when a few crows took off from the high branches, cawing as they went. She looked around, feeling restless. She started to pace out of nothing to do, but wasn't a nervous pacing. She looked down as she walked, thinking to herself.

A small grin crept across Arawan's face as he tried to hide it from Menel seeing. He quickly turned away from her, looking further deeper into the depths of Druadan. "Still," he spoke, "they do not need aid. Especially if you think it will only be me, you, and Nevias. Once we bring down their authority we will be decimated." Arawan paused and turned to look at Menel. "You are not invincible, you know...at least not yet. An arrow in the head will kill you."

Menel paused and looked down at Arawan, she answered, "I know I am not invicible. But then, I have died previous times in the past." She went on pacing, wondering what was taking Nevias so long. He should have her by now... Or failed with her by now... She stopped and looked up at a tree. The branches tangled with each other as it grew higher. She grabbed onto a low branch and pulled herself up. She climbed to the top and peered out over the forest.

Arawan calmly looked up and narrowed his eyes on Menel. He arched a brow and asked, "What are you doing?" Arawan stood up and looked at Menel. He smiled, "Looking for someone?" He said sarcastically. "Anyways, back to our plan. It will not work..." Arawan stopped as he thought Menel was not paying attention.

Menel indeed was not paying attention to Arawan. She was looking over the forest, but imagined the smoke that hoovered above it. She tore off a leaf from a branch, shreaded it and let if fall in peices to the ground. She gripped onto a branch and lifted her feet off the one she was standing on, she started to swing herself and suddenly let go. She dropped several feet until she caught the next branch. She pulled herself up and looked around again.

Arawan glanced on the ground as he saw the small shards of the leaf tumble there. He titled his head up and peered at Menel swinging in the trees. He began to get infuriated. "Listen, are we going to plan this, or not?! What are you doing, elf? Looking for that buddy SPHINX of yours? He isn't coming, is he?" Arawan stared at Menel.

Menel stopped dead and looked down. She jumped down out of the tree and landed right before Arawan, almost on his toes. Her emotionless expression turned into a firm glare. She had tucked Sphinx deep into her mind after Eoden brought him up, and now he was being brought up again.
Menel stared long and hard into Arawan's eyes until he glanced away, thought only for a brief second. She then turned her back to him and started walking. She didn't know where she was going, but wanted to get away. Why did he summon me here? Why did I come... I was doing fine on my own... And that is how I like it... On my own. She stopped a few yards away and stared off into the forest, as if strucken by something.

Arawan smiled at the thought of annoying Menel. He knew Sphinx was a weak spot in her mind, but he decided to let if off...for now. Arawan glanced back at Menel. "You aren't going anywhere, at least not alone. You know what reason you have come here for, and if you do not wish to complete the planning, then so be it. Wherever you go, I shall follow."

Menel turned sharply, "When I came here I wasn't expecting to plan. You called me here so I decided I would see what you wanted. And, why follow me now? You were the one who fled from battle, remember? It's been years and now you call me out of nowhere." Menel narrowed her eyes at Arawan and looked down her nose at him. He'd struck a bad nerve and if he continued like this, there would be blood shed between the two.

Arawan grimaced an quickly shot back at Menel. "No! No! I am sure you were not planning to plan." Arawan smirked at his word choice. "But you came here and begun the planning, even without my consent." Arawan repeated the words Menel had recently said. "Yes, yes, we can do it."
