sand but they Can get everywhere if you loose count of how many you
were playing with! And on the subject of your father...my thoughts are

Anon - Ok...I tried to read what you wrote but my dyslexia went haywire
and I got a migraine. Then I came back to it and tried again...what I
do not understand is...If I type "What are you doing?"' <--------why
is the extra ' there? If someone is speaking and then they say "Adars
study" in the sentence, why do the quote marks have to be there when
they are already speaking? I understand the  ,   but not
the quotes.
Argh...hehehe I do appreciate the advice though. So are you a bata
reader? I work radical swing shifts and would need someone who could
accommodate that...know anyone? Well anyway, I will work on it and
thanks again for the advice... :)

to come... :)

Ch6



Halfway to the dining hall, Erestor looked down at there joined hands
"You...you kis...kissed me and...and you are holding my hand".

Glorfindel arched his brow and smiled as he looked over "You noticed".

The advisor tisk'd and rolled his eyes "Well nai, of course I noticed.
Tho...are you sure you wish to be doing this uh...publicly? Others will
see".

The seneschal inwardly smirked, then stopped, dramatically sighed and
loosened his grip on the dark elf's hand "Oh...I see, you do not wish
for my touch...my affections. I thought...was I mistaken?".

Erestors heart beat furiously in his chest and he griped Glorfindels
hand painfully as he shook his head and drew closer "Nay! oh nay my
lord your attentions are...I...I like your attentions".

Glorfindel smiled as he resumed there walking and thought 'Ooo...you
are Mine my lovely'.

Erestor blinked confused as they walked 'How...how in Arda did This
accur...did...did I just Beg for his attentions?' he thought.

Elrond, Elladan and Elrohir starred in stunned silence as Glorfindel
and Erestor entered hand in hand. Elrond slowly smiled and tilted his
head "Well, this is unexpected. When did this happen?".

Erestor shrugged confused as he sat "I...I do not know. One moment he
was annoying me to no end and the other...I...I do not know".

Glorfindel sat down and smiled "For me, it was the moment I arrived.
You stole my breath. Then, my feeling were painfully clear to me when I
assisted in your retrieval during your sleepwalking that night and
carried you back to your chamber".

Erestor mouth dropped "You...you carried me?!".

The seneschal nodded as he smiled kindly "Nai, and was happy to do so
my lovely. though I must admit, when I first saw you when I arrived, it
was at a distance and I thought you were an elleth. Needless to say, I
was rather confused with my strong attraction to you. I had always
preferred males. I was quite relieved when I discovered you were an
elon". Glorfindel then took a deep breath, "I thought something had
gone horribly wrong when the Valar returned me and I thought myself
attracted to an elleth".

Erestor sat in stunned silence, then furrowed his brow "Am
I...should...I believe I should be offended that you thought I was an
elleth...however, all I feel is...well, I do not know what I feel.
Having someone find me of interest is...err...new".

The golden warrior shook his head as he looked across the table
"Somehow I doubt very much that no one found you of interest before me.
They were probably to frightened to approach you...you Do have a rather
stern way about yourself. though I find that appealing as well"

The twins smiled as they watched there old tutor blush, then blinked
concerned when Erestors eyes widened in fear.

Glorfindel notice the change and swiftly pushed his chair back some
"Erestor come here to me".

The advisor remained motionless and the seneschal smacked his hand down
on the table causing him to jump "Erestor! Come to me!"

Erestor was instantly up and standing beside the warrior, then found
himself being pulled onto the strong lap and his head forced into his
neck as strong arms wrapped around him.

Elrond nodded his approval and turned to his sons "Get to it boys!".

The twins quickly went to work chasing, shooing and attempting to catch
the butterfly. Both of them trying hard not to laugh, for despite the
fact that the fair creatures frightened there dear friend, they enjoyed
there job and had had enjoyed is since they were elflings.

Elrond glanced over to his captain and inwardly chuckled when he saw
the large smile on Glorfindels face as he watched the twins make
complete fools of themselves. But then the elven lord noticed that
despite his amused smile, the seneschals was calmly rubbing along
Erestors spine in a very soothing manner as he held him protectively
and thought with a smile 'The great warrior was sent back to help
me...but I definitely think he was also sent back for another reason
entirely'.

Suddenly, Elladan yelled out "Got it!".

Erestor instantly tightened his hold on the slayers neck and Glorfindel
whispered "Tis alright now, the butterfly is caught, tul my lovely, let
us to the smith to see if the other mesh fame's are ready".

Elrond questioned his brow and Glorfindel told him about the frames.
The twins smiled and Elrohir chuckled "Perhaps we should have them made
for the dining hall as well".

Glorfindel then smiled "Already done, though they are not finished yet"
then stood and took the dark elf's hand.

As they made there way to the smiths, Erestor slowly looked over and
whispered "Hannon le for your help before. Have...have you any fears
Glorfindel?".

The seneschal looked over "Balrogs".

Erestor rolled his eyes "Well I would think so".

Glorfindel stopped and tilted his head "Nay, I mean it. I was always
frightened of them. As an elfling, I always thought they were hiding
under my bed, or in my wardrobe...rather ironic I end up getting killed
by one. Even now in this second life...I will be walking and swear I
can smell burning hair".

Erestor lowered his gaze and sighed "Im sorry, I should not have...I
meant an odd fear like mine".

Glorfindel chuckled "Oh, you mean like a fear of drowning in
cheesecake?".

The advisor snorted, lightly smack him on the chest and Glorfindel
sighed "Well, I fear Balrogs, the smell of burning hair...but...well I
do not believe that this is a fear but..."

Erestor tilted his head "What".

Glorfindel shook his head "Nay, you will laugh, tis silly".

The dark elf sighed and drew close "I am fearful of butterflies
Glorfindel, I will not laugh".

The golden warrior took a deep breath "Paper cuts...I...I am rather
cautious around paper as a result".

Erestor blinked and furrowed his brow "Paper cuts?".

Glorfindel rolled his eyes "Nai, tis not a fear per say,
but...well...honestly, have you ever had a paper cut and then have to
use a bow? Or get armor oil in it? It truly hurts!".

The dark advisor wrapped his arms around the great slayers waist "I am
a chief advisor, I know all about paper cuts and nai, they can be
rather painful".

Glorfindel smiled "I thought you would understand that...and to think,
I have fallen for one who is around paper all day. I guess I just like
to live dangerously ay?".

Erestor snorted and placed his cheek against Glorfindels chest "When
did you become so adorable to my eyes".
