I really love how Ioreth has grown to be such an important character in fandom. You portray her here so beautifully, with all the frailty of an old woman but still with the knowledge that comes from a life lived long and full - and Ioreth the Wise accompanied by the princess was a lovely image, too!

Ahh, a trip through memories as well as the city.

"Now she knows the place like the wrinkles on the back of her hand and finds her way about like one of the cats of Queen Beruthiel..."

I love both of these comparisons, both so apt!

"Entering the Citadel accompanied like that by one of the Princesses! Well, Ioreth is not going to question her good fortune." (Nor give up the opportunity for a story to tell — I think some traits don't fade with age.)

It was lovely to encounter Celebriel again,  and then revisit the histories of the Elessars too, as a bonus!
