Nienna: *keeps hood up, slips into room again and leaves another boquet of roses. peeks closely at Norolinde* Good, you still sleep ...
Galdor: *hears Nienna's voice and jumps up from his chair, tired and half-asleep* What? Who's there?
Nienna: *tries not to panic, not used to people anymore* Hm? Oh ... no one. Just a concerned onlooker ... Pay no heed, I'm only leaving roses.
Galdor: *blinks and clears his eyes* I'm sorry, my lady. I uh... didn't know anyone came in here... *looks at the flowers* Thank you.
Nienna: Do you mind if I watch her a bit? *tries not to cry* I'm only a bit concerned, she always seemed to be so kind ... *doesn't exactly keep up with all of Noro's life, clearly*
Galdor: No, you can stay... You know Noro? *tries to get a better look at her*
Nienna: ... I know everyone. *turns away a bit - she has one of those scary ohmyerubeautiful appearances that should never be used*
Galdor: ....I'm sorry, you know everyone? *keeps trying*
Nienna: Well. Usually. I -hear- about everyone, anyway ... *is a bad liar*
Galdor: *peeks under her cloak* o.o Dear Varda... My lady, please forgive me... *bows and stays down*
Nienna: *twitch* Oh, once again, it's Varda everyone swears to, not ... you know, me or anything! *continues to try not to cry* ... And you're quite forgiven, and you're allowed to stand. It's fine. Only joking about the Varda thing ...
Galdor: *rises but turns towards Noro* Is there anything I can do for you, my lady?
Nienna: Oh, no, not at all, only visiting. Except ... you didn't see me here.
Galdor: *slight nod* You don't want anyone to know you were here?
Nienna: Usually I don't advertise it, no.
Galdor: Of course, my lady. *slightly distracted nod*
Nienna: Now, is there anything -I- can do for you, or her? I would heal her, but it might be frowned upon, and there might be some side effects like maybe her becoming a maia which would anger my father. Valier-healing isn't always safe.
Galdor: *sighs* I just... I don't know how she is... She wakes up for a very short time, very rarely, and she can't tell me anything... The healers haven't been very helpful, either. My lady, if it's not too much to ask, could you tell me how she is?
Nienna: I can only try ... *peers over Norolinde* ... well, I can assure you that she is a) alive, b) breathing normally and c) not listening. I'll linger and watch if you like, and if anything goes wrong I assure you I'll know.
Galdor: *nods* Thank you. I would greatly appreciate that. *goes back to sit at Noro's side and takes her hand*
Nienna: *just watches* Has she eaten or drank anything?
Galdor: A little, but not much. I make her eat when she can stay awake long enough... *strokes Noro's cheek and looks at Nienna sadly*
Nienna: *sheds a few tears* ... She should be drinking *sniff* rather often ... *cries*
Galdor: *startled, but gives Nienna his handkerchief* I do try... she doesn't wake often...
Nienna: *takes handkerchief and wipes eyes, crying a little more* I know, I understand. It isn't your fault at all ... sorry about the crying ...
Galdor: *slight nod* Please, my lady, don't apologize. Do you... *looks back at Noro* Do you know if she'll be okay...?
Nienna: She should be. I don't know why she wouldn't be
Galdor: *lets out a relieved sigh* Do you perhaps know how long it will be before she's better?
Nienna: That I do not know, but I could find out.
Galdor: You could? *looks at her, wide-eyed*
Nienna: Well, yes, I could. I don't know if my father would like me asking, though.
Galdor: *nods* Oh, of course. That's all right... I'll just... keep watching her...
Nienna: She knows you're watching her. I assume she does, anyway. And soon she should wake.
Galdor: *pulls the blankets around Noro's shoulders* I hope so.
Nienna: I shouldn't bother you much longer ... *watches the sleeping princess carefully* If she calls out for anyone, fetch that person right away. If you cannot, simply comfort her.
Galdor: ....the only one she's called for is the baby... I wish I could give her that...
Nienna: Do you know if it was male or female? Anything at all?
Galdor: I don't know anything, and I've been afraid to ask....
Nienna: I will find out for you. But I'd best be heading back to Mandos, my absence will be noticed.
Galdor: *nods* Thank you, my lady. For everything.
Nienna: You're welcome. I will return. *vanishes*
