Aragorn: what in the name of the Valar....
Gimli: My Lady...

[Back in Lothlorien]
*Tiffy wandering around the woods, holding her phone up to the sky in one hand and a bottle of elvish wine in the other*: Nooo, baby come back! You could blame it all- on- me! *stumbles out if the bushes, interupting Frodo, Sam, and Galadriel*
Tiffy: Oop. Heeeey, sorry-
Frodo: No, its alright, I, I think I'll retire for the night. Thank you again, Lady. *bales with Sam*
Tiffy, watching them go: I... know they're still mad at me about Gran-dalf but if I interupted something... You really should probably finished it. Between you and Frodo it was probably an 'portant plot point.
Galadriel: Worry not, our business was done. And what brings the Lady Noselda to my garden?
Tiffy: Augh, that stupid name. *leaning sideways looking at where Frodo was standing* Well I was chasing a signal on my phone, nothing was loading and its gone again, but I had a bar for a second. Figure it'll come back, hopefully the government tracking my spon- Spon-tih-niss disappearance got a ping. That'd be so funny. Is that a magic mirror?- Oh was this the scene where you went all scary for a minute? You good?
Galadriel: I am well, yes, I was tested, but I did not fail.
Tiffy, dead ass no idea what happens in this scene beside Galadriel getting all scary: Oh, well that's good? And ah, are we good, girl? Know I kinda went off on the mind reading thing, just. You know. It is a breach of boundaries, and our bodily autonomy, and a complete disregard for our consent.
Galadriel: Thing are well between us, I hold no I'll will toward you for gaurding yourself against such invasion, when viewed in such a light. Will you forgive me?
Tiffy, stumbling to the bench: Just don't do it again.
Galadriel: I do not think I would need to. Even could I.
Tiffy, squinting hard before shrugging: Well I mean and I guess I get it. There is a magic war going on with evil mind control. *looking back at the mirror* Can I look at the magic mirror? *holding out her phone* I'll show you mine, if you show me yours. This is like, 10 time a deeper look into my soul then a glance at my... surface level thought... I hope.
Galadriel, amused, stepping aside: Very well, come. You know the path you walk like a story told already, though. What do you hope to see?
Tiffany handing over the phone, and then the wine bottle, and stepping up to the bowl: A path. She thinks its a path! Babe I saw a birds eye view of like half this minotaur's maze when I was six, I'm doing my best to keep my hand on the right-side wall, but we're comming up on a fork in the road and- and I lost my metaphor, so I'm hoping to see, like, proof i'm not a about to make it all worse.
Galadriel taking a seat near by: That is what most people hope to see.
Tiffy: though another snippet of the maze wouldn't hurt, nevermind the timeline, a time frame would be nice- or the next episode of House of the Dragon, frankly, im not picky- annnnd I got nothing. Am I doing it right? Hey! Mirror mirror in the birdbath, show me- the- the better path!... Ah, well. I figured.
Galadriel: You saw nothing? Curious...
Tiffy sitting down hard next to Galadriel, reclaiming the wine: Yeah magic doesn't seem to work on me. Figured that out back in the Shire. The trees kept trying to confuse and put Frodo and everyone else to sleep once we set out form the Bombadil's house. Nice couple. Good place to land. Need to get 'em a pinapple. Anyway, and then there's been a couple more instances, like I wasn't cold in the Missy Mountains. That was weird. I'm damn curious, but I'm sure it has something to do with me not being, oh, part of the "tune" of this universe or something, and really I don't have the time on top of everything else to care yet. We'll see afterwards I guess.
Galadriel, after a moment: I think I quite admire your ability to take things in with such calm acceptance. I know many as young as you who would have given into terror, ripped from their home and their understanding of the world in such a way as you were, and with such a burden as the life kf a man you admire and subsequently the lives of all those you may trade for his wieghing on your shoulders.
Tiffy, far to drunk: Thanks, its a trauma response from not having my needs met properly as a child- sorry no, actually did not mean to say that.
Galadriel:... It would be alright to be upset. Much of your fellowhship is in a state of distress.
Tiffy: I know. They'll figure it out. I'll start screaming later. Anyway. Hey, the screen went dark *takes it back to unlock it* -Holy shit its charging- how did you do that!? *thrusts it back at Galadriel*
Phone: *happy little charging chime*
Tiffy: How did you do that, Woman?!
Gal: I... am unsure.
Tiffy: Well don't let go! Hell yes! Oh. This is wonderful. I love magic. Not question this- you think Legolas can do this- don't worry I'll find out-
Gal, looking at the glass, the imagine of Tiffany, another woman with similar looks, and an older man and woman who look quite different all smile out at her from behind a wall of little simbols: This portrait is impressive. Who is this?
Tiffy: oh that's me and my cousin, with my parents last christmas, I was adopted. We were reconnecting. They're not the neglectiful ones. That was my aunt and uncle- not her parents, other side. It was a whole thing, it doesn't matter. Here. Move you finger around the glass, yeah, and you can tap the little buttons-
Tiffy: That one's my taxes. That one has my dnd stuff on it- me and my friends make up character and act out daring battles- you know, kinda like this, but more fun cause its safe. She's Zelda, dragonborn, lawful good- I was challanging myself this game. This one you just tap to the beat of the music- oh your good at that! This one radio stations from all over my world- music and talking and weather warning, that kinda thing. This ones music from all kinds of artist, i have some stuff downloaded upp put a playlist togther for you before we leave.
Tiffy: That's my little village simulators, I just collect things and buy furnature and decorate the little bunny's house. Thats my grocery list, oh I bet my milks spoiled by now- those are my messages, yeah like convesations, my boss. my cousin. We were getting close again, actually.. ugh my ex-situationship, is this borning you? No? Good- I can draw on that one, see my little doodles-
Tiffy: I watch ah, plays on all the ones in this folder, desperately wish I had downloaded the Lord of the Rings right now. Here my library of audio books- yeah, wish i had this sotry downloaded there too. Oh here's the map- look look- this is my house, i'd zoom in more but it won't load right now... Yeah they have poeple who's whole job it is to take picture of everything. It's a little scary, yeah. But money buys power, and power creates surveillance states in order to push ads to sell things to get more money.
Tiffy: Here's my photo gallery. Its got all my social's so its got a pretty goor record- theres my first day of school- that was my dog- yeah thats a dog- um, theres my birthparents when we went to disney- thsy died a little after this... Its like a places with games and ride based of some specific stories, theres story book princesses there too, I got all their signatures that weekend-
Tiffy: Thats one of my foster sisters, it was my Halloween there- children dress up as legends and stories and fairtails and everyone gives them sweets for it. Well its also a celebration of the macabe and the frightening. It used to be about the spirits... nah, her parents got their shit togther a couple months later and she went home. Anyway. Oh, here's my memes, let me see if I can find the Lord of the Rings one- yeah the stories names after him- you know it took everything not to start crying in the counsil meeting when Bo did the-
Galadiel: Wait, go back...
Tiffy, swiping back: Hm? Oh that's Hela, goddess of death, from another story, she's also played by Cate Blanchett so she has your face.
Galadriel: So strange... like a dark reflection...
Tiffy, leaning against her: I bet if you showed up to war looking like that everyone would scatter like mice. It would be so hot.
Galadriel: It would certainly be unexpected.
Tiffy eyes flutting shut: ha! an Unexpected Party.... Hm. Sometimes all it takes to beat some one is fucking with them. If they cant think straight... they can't plan their next move...
Gal, taking the phone back and continuing to explore: A philosophy you take to heart no doubt.

Galadriel in her medieval!Hela Cosplay: Hey Lord of the Jewelry Box! Get out here!
Galadriel: I just want to talk!
Boromir, spidey common sense tingling: Tiffany...
Gimli, awestruck: She's like polished onyx! Shining even in the darkness!
Legolas: Well if this does not distract the Enemy, I doubt the army was ever much good.
