Clan Ashara currently resides in a small valley nestled into the mountains, that seems idyllic for a Dalish clan. A stream runs through the valley, descending into a waterfall with the steep cliffs on one side, and sheer mountain walls going straight up on two other sides. The only way in and out is through a gap big enough to lead several aravels through. It's a defensible position, safe from any threats. Except the fade rift that has opened up just a little ways from the gap. The hunters can handle the demons spewing from it well enough, and there are always a couple stationed there to pick off whatever appears. But it's too dangerous to lead the aravels and noncombatants through, and thus, they are forced to wait. To compound the issue, there's a village close to where they're currently staying, and while both sides have kept to themselves, neither are pleased with the current situation. They've helped get a message to the Inquisition in hopes that someone will come take care of the problem, and now both are tensely waiting for something to happen to change the situation, for better or worse. And so the members of Clan Ashara, with their friends in tow, return back to their clan.

"She will settle," he says, with all the confidence of a father who feels the same way about his own child. And hopefully sooner than Legolas had, his leaf who he could still occasionally expect childish antics from.

He follows her gaze to the elflings. If he and Galadriel have their way, they will be the last generation to be born mortal. In an ideal world, those alive now will not know death, but there lies much in their path, and he can make no promises. He won't speak of it until there's a plan, a solid one, but he can imply, can hint, and can outright say: "My cousin and I offer our aid in whatever way the Clans call for it."

His eyes grow wide for a second, he look away from the young ones, and to her. "Forgive me my manners. I have a small gift from the Lady Galadriel and myself, but I fear I left it with my mount. If you would accompany me, I would be glad of the company."

"I can only hope you are right." She responds, with a polite nod. And hopefully it won't take a century or more, because neither of them are working with that kind of timeline. Not yet, at least.

But Thranduil's next words manage to startle the Keeper, and she turns to face him, eyes wide. She recovers herself quickly enough however, and ducks her head. "Your kindness honors me, though I fear I have little to be able to repay it. Still, I would be glad to accompany you." She is still clearly confused as to what the strange elf would have to offer to her, or why he would offer it, but she can roll with worse oddities than gifts.

"We need no repayment." Both of them are committed to this- he and Galadriel are a team, though she did the work of baking the bread which he now pulls from his bags. It's a sack, and he undoes the clasp to show her the inside- dozens of leaf-wrapped packages, each no larger than the span of his palm.

"Winter will be here soon, but a bite of these should be enough for a meal. They are weaker than they ought to be, but that is the fault of Thedas itself and not that of my cousin." He secures the bag, and offers it and all it contains to the keeper. "A gift, freely offered."
