Amadhrill passed the heavy wooden doors of the Dragon Room, smiling a little as she entered the large room. There was a clear purpose in her light steps as she made her way towards the marshals' seats. Her green eyes scanned the room, nodding her greeting to the familiar faces making their business in the Dragon Room. She held her head high as she saluted the marshal @Shivased. "Marshal, I wish to request a leave of absence to go to Gondor and visit the Houses of Healing. I have heard many speak highly of the hælends there and I believe there are many things I might learn there. I wish to travel for a short visit, with the leave of the marshals and the bealdorhælend @Thalionwen."
She spoke calmly, her words prepared many times before she had finally entered the Dragon Room. There was not a trace in her voice, face, or body of the memories and thoughts that had made her question if she should really ask for this. Now she stood there calm, not showing if she feared a yes or no more.
"If I have your leave, marshal, and may say that I come as a hælend of the cavalry of Rohan, I hope the hælends of Gondor may let me follow them for a few weeks, and learn what I may from them, so that I may take it and use it for the cavalry's benefit." Then she hesitated for a moment, taking a long slow breath before speaking a little lower. "I also have a personal reason to request this trip. I have heard much of the hælends and I wish to learn from them, but I also think it wise to see Gondor, and the city of Minas Tirith in a time of peace and not in the face of battle or great personal grief. While the object of learning is my main purpose in requesting this leave, I also hope that this visit will bring me a peace I have understood that I need." Her thoughts went to @Lailyn and their talks, and her own memories, though her face remained calm and unmoved. "There are few hælends in the cavalry, so I do understand that my place may be here at the moment, it is your desision, marshal."
Hælend of Meduseld
