[ Her tone is clearly a little nervous, though she tries to sound somewhat competent. ]
Ah, Thranduil, I don't know if you're aware of this, but--um. Sina is getting married to...ah. My brother. Soon. And I'm going to be there--well, of course I'm going to be there, it's my brother--but I was wondering if. Well. If you wanted to...go. With me. To the wedding. I mean, it's fine if you don't, I just thought it'd be nice to not....look like the loser sister who's alone at a wedding.
[ in all the death, all the danger, the horrors of war, he is glad for this. the clan felt whole and right, and a marriage will warm his heart. ]
This will be dependant upon your tolerance to answer all the questions I am sure will have.
[ if he wasn't clear enough: ]
Yes, Beleth- I would be honored. I am very pleased to hear the news- Sorrel seemed such a kind and thoughtful young man, and I would not trust our Sina with anyone but the best of elves. Is this an arranged betrothal, or have I not been paying attention?
[ A soft, relieved laugh. It'd been silly to worry, perhaps. Yet, that had yet to stop Beleth from doing so. ]
I would be glad to answer any questions that you might have, and at the wedding will be two Keepers and many hahren, who I am sure could answer them even better.
As for Sorrel...I am, of course, biased, but I agree--and Sina is a smart, fine young woman. It will be my pleasure to have her as a sister.
[ And then she's solemn. ]
The engagement was...arranged. My Keeper suggested it to Sina when we last visited the clan, to help them deal with the rift that was giving them trouble. Sina and Sorrel were both amiable, and have been exchanging letters back and forth since then. Sorrel speaks fondly of her.
