innocent
playful nature of the elves...eh, I guess I just cant help it, its such
and honest base response...:)

The Fire Dance





Ch13





Cirdan and Elrohir sat off to the side in the kitchens and the young
prince smiled when a fair young elleth walked over. She paused as she
approached, then sighed as she shook her head "Oh no, not you again!
Now
hear me you imp, I do not care if you are a prince, I do not want any
trouble from you today...I mean it" Elrohir began to moved his hands
and she watched intently, finally smiling "Very well, just a moment"
then walked away.

The elven lord tilted his head "Why did she leave, what did you say".

Elrohir held up the empty pad, then pointed and Cirdan
looked over and noticed that she was retrieving another pad of paper.
Once the fair elleth returned, Elrohir inclined his head, kissed her
hand, then moved his hands again. The young elleth then blushed "Oh
daro! You...oh you are a naughty one!", then turned to Cirdan and
cleared her throat "Mae govannen, my name is Crabanwen, what would you
like to eat?"

Once they had received their pie, the lord and prince chatted and
scribbled away for a while, at least until Cirdan furrowed his brow
when Elrohir raised his fork to his mouth, then held it in mid air with
his mouth agape as he just stared blankly ahead "Elrohir?"

Crabanwen, hearing the concerned tone, walked back over, looked at the
prince, then smiled at the lord "Oh, worry not my lord...when he does
that, it
means his brother is speaking to him...tho I must admit, he does look
more frozen then usual and he does not normally resemble a caught fish
when they mind speak, the news must be a shock"

As the elleth walked away, Cirdan sat back and waited. After several
minutes, Elrohir finally blinked, put down his fork, then swallowed
hard and picked up the pad.....

*ScribbleScribble*

"Ahh, you know now of your adar and Thranduil"

*ScribbleScribble*

"Of course I knew, I knew before they acted upon it. You can not be as
old as I am and not notice these sorts of things...does it bother you
that your adar took your naneths advise and finally moved on?"

Elrohir let out a heavy sigh and shrugged....

*ScribbleScribble*...pause...*ScribbleScribble*

"Mmm...well, I can understand your uneasiness, for this is new...give
it time my Dinmir...tho I am gladdened to hear that Thranduil is liked
by both you and your brother".

Later that evening......

Erestor glanced over at Glorfindel as the great slayer just stared into
the fire.

"You are board and ready to burst"

The seneschal blinked, then looked over and frowned "Hmm...what?"

Erestor chuckled and scooted closer "I told you before that I was
perfectly content with quiet evenings...and you are trying to so very
hard to do the same. Glorfindel, I do not expect you to stay around all
the time, this must be maddening for someone like you. You are used to
going and unwinding with your fellows in the Hall of fire".

Glorfindel smiled and put his arm around his slighter new mate "I am
fine Erestor, this is our first day together and..."

Erestor held up his hand "I can tell that the silence is grating on
your nerves, is the fire bothering you?"

Slightly taken aback by the question, Glorfindel cleared his throat
"Well, I must admit, that I am feeling a tad...er...sequestered...and I
am not fearful of controlled fires, though the room is rather quiet and
it just remind me of Mandos Halls...but really Erestor, I am alright.
This is just new to me, sitting here and just, sitting here".

The advisor snorted and shook his head "Sitting here and just sitting
here? Oh nay, I am not going to allow you to turn into a verbal
slug...go, go to the Hall of fire and have some fun".

Glorfindel shook his head "Nay, I want us to be together for the
entirety of our first day...unless you...would you come with me?"

Erestor blinked, then swallowed hard "To...to the Hall of fire? With
all those warriors? Me? A...a paper stroker?"

The dark advisor then laughed at his new husbands shocked expression
"Oh do not look all surprised, we advisors know what we are called by
the warriors...we have a names for them as well you know"

Glorfindel sat up straight and pulled him close "Oooo really? Do tell,
I will give you a kiss if you tell me...come now my shy husband what do
you call us, do not force me to tickle you".

Erestor rolled his eyes "Sword humpers, weapon lickers, flet
teasers...you lot are not the only ones who can think of little names
you know"

Glorfindel burst out into laughter "Flet teasers?"

Erestor lightly blushed "Well, you have to relieve your...er...needs
somewhere do you not? I would think it a tad awkward to do such things
out on a limb".

The seneschal gave him a tender kiss, then sighed "The Galadhrim use
flets when guarding due to the Mellyrn being so tall, our trees here in
Imladris are..."

Again, Erestor held up his hand "Daro you oversized elf, we know you
use a more primitive and blending form of the flet...it is just a
teasing name...like your paper stroker, now hush and go see your
friends, I am sure they wish to celebrate with you"

Glorfindel sat back and sighed "I am afraid I can not, not without
you...you are my husband and I will not leave you on our first bonded
day".

Erestor rolled his eyes "The day is over, it is evening"

The golden warrior turned quickly and attacked his new husbands tickle
spot "The full day ends at the mid of night, and that is five hours
from now...come with me, common, come with me and have a
drink...comewithmecomewithmecomewithme..."

"Ahhghahh! Alright! Daro you...you overgrown elfling! Daro I will come
with you!"

Glorfindel stopped and blinked "Truly? That pleases me greatly Erestor,
I want you to meet my fellows...and worry not, you need not fear them.
Besides, I will be there".

Erestor sat up, wiped the tears from his face, then narrowed his eyes
"You just wait until I tie You up for that bonding game and find Your
tickle spot!"

~*~*~

Elrond and Thranduil sat off to the side and watched as the occupants
of the room danced and enjoyed themselves.

A short time later, Thranduil nudged his new love and motioned to the
door. Elladan and Legolas had just entered, noticed their fathers, and
began to make their way over...
