Nerissa bounced toward the back garden, entranced by the sweet music coming from that direction. Walter, whose hand was firmly held by said Neri, hurried along behind in his richly embroidered suit of dark blue. Nerissa was also dressed in blue, though in a lighter shade. Her full yet airy dress floated down to her ankles, and rippled in the breeze. The sheer sleeves of that gown, done in a rather Romanesque fashion, split in half just past her shoulders and flowed down nearly to the bottom of the dress. Her hair hung long for the most part, with the exception of part of the top, which was pinned back.

The couple gazed around at all the curiosities and beautiful things in the garden, before spying some of their family members up toward the house. Releasing Walter's hand, Neri went up the stairs as fast as her dress would allow, waving with one hand and holding the skirt of her dress with the other. "We made it!" she called to the group.

Goldleaf beamed at Nienna and her husband, Karl. "Good to see you both here!" she exclaimed. Once again she looked to Boromir, who had not greeted the new arrivals but was pondering over what Turwaithion had said.

"Ara-something?" he repeated. "I once knew a guy called Ara-something. Travelled with him, in fact. Heir of Numenor and what-not. If that's the same Ara-something... Ara-not? Ara-had? Ara-gorn? ...I'm guessing he'd be quite a good catch for your ex-wife. Tough luck, mate. Divorces can be sticky."

Goldleaf cleared her throat and Boromir turned with a sheepish grin. Suddenly, there was a call from down the hall and Goldleaf turned to spot Nerissa and Walter.
"Guys!" she grinned. "Welcome!"

Turwaithion groaned. Pouring himself a glass of punch, he raised in in greeting to Nerissa and Walter, then sat himself down on a vancant chair. "Bloody Numenorean over blown git. That's him" He said under his breath, downing the contents of his glass.

"Bitterness never did anyone any good," Boromir commented, "but I feel sympathy for you. You can't even hunt him down and make him pay - it would be 'high treason' ." He shook his head, sighing. Goldleaf cleared her throat.

"Hello hello hello!" Nerissa called, waving with both hands now that they were free. Walter reached forward stealthily, trying to corral his wife before she got any more excited and crazy. Just as his hand nearly clamped down on her shoulder, however, Neri happened to slide over to the side, leaving him clawing at air. Not noticing, Nerissa stopped at Turwaithion's chair, clucking sympathetically. "How've you been doing since that nasty divorce? Have you been surviving?"

Turwaithion snorted. "If you call sleeping with a knife under your pillow surviving. I swear those brothers of her's would steal my bed while I'm sleepign on it. And now the little spoiled brat's run off with her lawyer who turns out to be the rightful bloody King of Gondor. Next time, I'm marrying a mortal. At least then they won't nag and sue me until I die.

"You know, I never liked that Arwen," Boromir mused. "Didn't I warn you at your wedding that she was used to a life of luxury?"

Goldleaf elbowed him and he rubbed his arm; Goldleaf's elbow had been somewhat sharp, pointed and painful. "Owww!" he protested.

"Don't bother Tur," his wife said. "You're only making it worse."

"I'm serious though!" Boromir said. "You could always make arrangements to get those brothers sorted out, if you catch my drift, Turwaithion. Put some mechinisations in order, start thinking outside the box." He winked. This only doomed him to another elbowing. He looked at Goldleaf. "What did I say?"

"You're not sending anyone to take care of Arwen's brothers," Goldleaf said, "and that's final."

"I was only joking." Boromir looked hurt.

Nienna bounced over to the group curiously, before saying to Goldy, "I take he's not taking the divorce very well." She looked at her father curiously, "You know...It's kinda weird to see you without Arwen around. Are you coping without her okay?"

Turwaithion suddered in reply, then downed his punch and passed Boromir his signet ring. "Do what you can. I want 'em alive, though." He said, deadly serious. Before Goldleaf could intervene, he held up his hand. "I'm having them taken care of. The lawyer too." He said, then starting singing 'It would've been Cheaper to Keep Her Around' under his breath.

((Actual song. Hi-freaking-larious))

Nienna gave a concerned look at her dad, elbowing Karl as he laughed/coughed. She gave a half-giggle herself. "But when you go after her brothers, father, pray you don't send them to a hospital or something."

"Oh, like you'd rather see me get hurt than them?" Karl teased her gently, making her punch him in the shoulder playfully and reply, "No. BEHAVE."

Boromir took Turwaithion's signet ring with interest. "I wonder how much this would go for on eBay..."

Goldleaf looked at Tur with astonishment. "Are you assigning my husband to kidnap your ex-brothers-in-law?" she said incredulously.

"And the lawyer," Boromir put in.

Turwaihtion laughed darkly. "Oh, I'll be sure to keep them out of a hospital, sell nin. Don't you worry about that."

"I think it's time we went out to start the ball," Goldleaf said firmly. "Boromir, I forbid you from kidnapping those elves or the king of Gondor. Now give Turwaithion back his signet ring - you're not using it as a death token or selling it on eBay."

The two hands of Walter's finally attained a firm hold on Nerissa's shoulders. "Uhm, Neri dear... don't you think... we should step outside or something?" "Nonsense," Neri replied. "But if you really want to..." She waved her hand and stepped over to Goldleaf. "Let's get this ball started, shall we?" She swirled her blue skirts dramatically, her back to the plotting men. "I simply can't wait to explore all that you've prepared, Goldy."

Walter, left clutching at the air, turned to Tur, Karl, and Boromir. "If... if anything ever... happens, you know... be sure to let me know," he said in a very low voice, winking. "Can't let them rascals get away with all that they have."

Nienna smiled at her father cheerfully before turning to Neri and Goldy, turning away from the plotting men. She looked up as her sister flew in, `Hey sis! Not much going on! Ada and Boromir are plotting againest Arwen`s brothers! That`s all!! Not much!!
