Balrogs, Butterflies & Bondings

Authors Note:

-------------

Gingitsune - Ya I know the thought of the twins in charge just makes ya
want to shudder ay? And yes, the bond took, I like to go with the
'mates can feel one another' concept, I think that's an interesting
thing, that your strength can be lent to your love and the
closeness...No computer? *Shudders* bummer. Well, look at it this
way...when you return, the storys you read will have fresh chapters for
ya...:)

-------------

Ertia - You are sharp! Thanks for pointing that out to me...it was
suppose to read 'Glorfindel and Erestors chamber'...thanks for catching
that, I changed it and delete/reposted the chap with the correction
before I posted this chap, you have a keen eye my friend. And ya, if my
kingly dad just told me to be my new mates submissive 'yes-man' I would
have a chocolate cry session to! Feeling angsty ay? Cant blame ya with
all your dealing with, perhaps Elrond is not enough for ya right now,
perhaps you need another elf to go with him *Gets out pen and paper to
take your elf request* who would you like my friend...:)

-------------

Nikkiling - Thank you...I personally would be impressed
to...sacrificing
everything he knew to save his sister? Ya, I would see that as a pretty
good first impression...if that makes sence...oh, and about the
twins...*looks around inocently while whistleing*...:)

*Shh, dont yell in my head*



B, B & B



Ch24



Legolas looked up into Elronds eyes and sighed "You are very
understanding Elrond".

The elven lord chuckled and pulled Legolas to join him on the balcony
"I am old...and I have two ions that have sent me to madness and
back...on more then one occasion. Worry not about your adar, and if he
even tries to lecture you like that again I will have a talk with him.
You are no longer an elfling and you are bound to me. I will not have
my dear one forced into melancholy".

Legolas smiled and drew close "You keep calling me your dear one, I
like that. Perhaps I should come up with an endearment for you as
well...I will have to try out some names and see which one
fits...like...uhm...beloved, nay to formal...err...quiver master..."

Elrond arched his brow and laughed loudly "Quiver master?".

The prince blushed and shrugged his shoulders "Well, you make me quiver
and I am an archer...duel meaning...but I will put some thought to this
name thing".

Elrond sat down and smiled "You know Legolas I was thinking about the
fact that you are are here to stay and wondered what you wanted to do
with your time. I know you are a worrier, but I noticed you also have a
passion for the trees here and thought you may entertain becoming
a...well, perhaps you would consider becoming a consultant on tree
placement. You could speak with the trees, find out where they would
wish to be placed and then let my planters know".

Legolas blinked in shock "I...I had not really thought about what my
function would be past being your mate. I would love to help with the
development of  Imladris's surroundings. I could even help with
gardens
and such...you...you would allow me to do these things?"

Elrond smiled and gave him a possessive kiss "You are not my pet
Legolas, you are my mate. And regardless of what your Adar had in mind,
you are My mate and I wish for you to be happy and feel fulfilled here".

The prince smiled from ear to ear and moved to sit on Elronds lap
"Hannon le Elrond".

As the healer walked down the hall to Erestors chamber, he stopped
abruptly and sighed "Aye, he took up residence with Lord Glorfindel",
then looked around and lowered his gaze and thought 'Where Is lord
Glorfindels chamber...well, someone must be taking over for Master
Erestor, I will ask his replacement'.

~*~*~

Elladan sighed as he tried to make sense of the papers on his fathers
desk and shook his head *Roh, what do I do with with the scrolls that
adar needs to sign*

In the connecting room Elrohir sighed *Just set them aside and focus on
the scrolls that do Not need signatures, and quit interrupting me I am
trying to make sense of the daily rosters that Erestor has here*

A few moments later Elrohir looked up and smiled "Hello Healer Vandal,
can I help you?"

The healer blinked in shock, then lightly bowed "Ernil...err...".

The younger twin suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and kept his
smile "Elrohir, Elladan is in Adars study".

Vandal nodded and walked closer "Your adar told me to take this
sleeping draft to Master Erestor but he has taken up residence with
Lord Glorfindel and I know not where his chamber is".

Elrohir stood, walked over to the map table, reached underneath and
pulled out the living plans "Well, knowing Erestor, he would have
already changed the residing map...ahh there we are see? His room is
now marked as available and his name has been added to Glorfindels..."
The younger twin pointed to the chamber on the map and smiled "This is
the room you need to go to".

The healer nodded and stepped back "Hannon le ernil Elrohir".

After he left, Elladan entered and frowned "Why did you help him, you
should have taken the draft and said that you would deliver it so that
we could dispose of the draft and spare Erestor that torture".

Elrohir rolled his eyes and cringed "Aye you are right, I am so mixed
up with all these papers that I was not thinking...poor Erestor".

~*~*~

Glorfindel gently rubbed Erestors back as he laid curled up into a ball
and rocked himself. When the knock on the door was heard, the seneschal
left the bed and opened the door "Nai?"

Vandal inclined his head and handed the golden warrior the trey "Lord
Elrond asked me to deliver this sleeping draft to you and tell you that
Master Erestor must finnish every drop".

Glorfindel took the trey and nodded "Hannon le".

When the healer left, Glorfindel returned to the room, looked at the
draft, slowly brought the cup to his nose, lightly sniffed, then jerked
away "Eww!"

The seneschal turned his head, breathed deeply to clear his nostrils,
then again, brought the cup to his nose and sniffed "Blessed
Valar!".....sniff....."What did he put in
this!".....sniff....."Argh...what...eww!".....sniff....."What IS that,
troll droppings?! I am most definitely Not feeding this to him!"

Glorfindel finally set the cup down and slowly backed away from it and
shuddered. He then turned to his love on the bed and whispered
"Erestor...Erestor my lovely? Elrond sent you a sleeping draft".

The seneschal smirked as Erestor came swiftly out of his daze and tears
immediately began to roll down his cheeks as he cried out "Nay! Nay I
will not drink it! Not again!".

The seneschal gently picked him up into his arms and whispered "I would
Never force you to drink troll droppings. Tul, let me take you to my
hiding place, you will be able to relax there".

~*~*~

Thranduil slowly walked down the hall, looked to his left as he passed
an open door and noticed one of the twins behind Erestors desk. The
young elf had his face buried in his hands and was rubbing his face as
he groaned. As he continued to walk and look into the next room, he saw
the other twin sitting behind Elronds desk, his fingers pinching the
bridge of his nose as he slowly shook his head.

Thranduil slowly entered the room and cleared his throat. Elladan
jerked and stood *Roh! Get in here! Thranduil just walked in!!*

The king smiled as the other twin swiftly entered and moved to stand
next to his brother behind the desk ""May we help you King Thranduil?""

TBC....................................

To my readers: So, I am going to put this out there...anyone have any
ideas of what Legolas can call Elrond as a pet name? *Evil grin*
