Common Room

[Glynfinial]

Upon entering this room, you notice how earthy yet fragile everything looks. The floor is of white marble tiles, and there are a few woven rugs on the floor depicting forest scenes. Did that embroidered bird just move?? This is the Fairy Common Room...

There is a fireplace at one end of the room, the side with the doors. Opposite are two white marble staircases. One leads to the Boys' Bedchamber; the other to the Girls'.

Several velvet-cushioned, wooden-backed chairs and sofas are placed around the room in various clusters. There are two large tables and a smaller one as well. These pieces of furniture are all rather smaller than those made for elves or humans. But then, fairies are a bit shorter than elves or humans.

*flies into the Common Room and lands gently in front of one of the sofas. she folds her wings and carefully sits down on the sofa, taking off the belt that carries her new sword in its sheath. she sets these down on the table in front of her and starts humming her happy tune, though very half-heartedly*

i'm very tired...*she yawns* i'll go up to bed, then.

*stands up wearily and takes flight, going up the staircase that leads to the girls' bedchambers*

[Ashley Parker]

*flies in* This place is so beautiful, and yet, so cozy looking. *flies up to the Girls' Bedchambers*

[Ashley Parker]

*enters the room* Well, it sure is quiet in here. I wonder where that other fairy is? *sits in a chair and starts to draw*

[Glynfinial]

*flies in, playing her flute triumphantly. she finishes the song as she lands next to the table her belt rests on* finally! i finished it! i finished writing the song! *looks for something she's sure was attached to her belt, but it's not there. looks around the room and notices the other fairy sitting in a chair, drawing something. she flutters over to her*

welcome, friend! what name do you go by? i am Glynfinial, Queen of the Fairies. *smiles warmly at the girl*

[Ashley Parker]

Hello Glynfinial. Thank you for the welcome. *curtsies to Glynfinial* My name is Ashley Parker.

[Glynfinial]

*smiles* it's no trouble, dear. how was your first night in rivendell? and what's that you're drawing? *leans forward to study the picture*

[Ashley Parker]

My first night was great. I'm drawing a picture of the common room. I think it's lovely. Did you design it?

[Glynfinial]

*smiles, admiring the drawing* you're a talented artist, ashley! i'll have you ask you to do a portrait of me sometime! *laughs* ah yes...well, actually, i did design the common room and the bedchambers for us fairies. when i arrived, i found them too be a tad too elfin, so i modified the rooms to fairy standards! plus the furniture was just too large for us...*smiles* i'm glad you like it.

where did you come here from? and why did you have to leave? i had to leave Trilsia because the ringwraiths thought we were hiding the hobbit with the ring in the Palace...many of us fled, though i allowed no one to come with me. i assumed it would be too dangerous, as the ringwraiths were mainly angry with me.
---------------------
ooc: Trilsia is like the main city of the Fairies that i made up. It's in a forest somewhere near the Lost Realm of Arnor...which i think is near the shire.  

[Ashley Parker]

Are they still looking for you? Not that they could ever find you here, though. I'm from Lorien. I left to find adventure.

*looks through one of the tiny windows of the farry house*
hello, im new and going around to meet all the ppl, my name's melody

[Ashley Parker]

*waves to melody*Hi Melody, I'm Ashley Parker. Welcome to Rivendell.

[Glynfinial]

*frowns slightly* er...i dont know if they are. all i know is, until i know for sure, i am not leaving rivendell! and i actually was in lorien for a while too. i didn't come directly here from trilsia. i stopped over in lorien at first to see if i might hide there. but then it seemed that lorien would be too obvious, plus some others from trilsia followed me. so i decided to come to rivendell. *smiles* it's very beautiful in lorien, isn't it?

*turns to the newcomer* hello, melody! that's a wonderful name. i'm glynfinial, queen of the fairies. *smiles broadly* where are you staying here in rivendell?

[Ashley Parker]

It is very beautiful in Lorien. There weren't many fairies there, though.

[Glynfinial]

No...*walks over to the table again and picks up her belt. she attaches it around her waist* do you want to come to the training grounds with me? i've got to go, if only to get my mind off--everything.

oh, and about all that with the ringwraiths--i'd appreciate it if you didn't share it with anyone else. i know i can trust you, but i'm not sure about many others...*smiles at ashley, opens her wings, and takes off through the door*
