I've never heard of elves like that but I am an elf, yes. I am one of the Silvan elves that make their home in the forest.

[His smile, while not showing, is clear in his voice:] It's a very good way to sleep, having a song in your head. What kind of songs did he sing?

[secretcharm]

I don't know what Silvan elves are...but they're very nice, if they're like you! And big brother sang a lot of different ones! My favorite one is Mori no Fukuro!

[[Without a request, she takes a breath and sings the short little song. It's only a few short sentences, but she makes sure every Japanese syllable has as much melody in it as she can.]]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Many of them are but we tend to be very distrustful of outsiders. That's not concern here.

[Oh, he likes the sound of that and tries to commit it to memory.]

It's very pretty. I can see why it's your favorite.

[secretcharm]

It's about an owl. [[She beams.]]

He sings me songs about the ocean and about rain and about reaching the stars! [[Her smile falls a little and she leans against Legolas again.]]

Yuka wishes he was here...

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Ah, the sea and stars are quite close to my heart. And you've already shown your world has beautiful songs. Perhaps someday you might sing them to me?

[He holds her close and tries to make sure she feels safe.]

I understand. There are several people that I wish were here but, in the same moment, I would not wish this fate upon them.

[secretcharm]

[[She nods...she wouldn't want her brother stuck here either...but at the same time...]]

I don't know what to do without him though...

[[With a deep breath, she sighs, then looks up at Legolas. She just needs to stop worrying...there are lots of other nice people here, right? He's really nice! So...]]

Yuka would love to sing them for you!

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

I understand that.

[He really does. And he can't blame her for that. Who could? Certainly nobody sensible.]

Would you? I'd love to hear them if you feel alright to sing them now. Song is a wonderful way to raise ones spirit.
