The Fire Dance





Ch67





Glorfindel slowly entered the room, stood next to Erestor, then
respectfully inclined his head "Adar"

Glorduin looked at his son with wide eyes, the last time he had seen
him, Glorfindel was 2 years shy his majority, and now, Glorfindel was
eye to eye with him "You have grown into a fine looking warrior ion"

The seneschal wrapped his arm around Erestors waist and pulled him
close
"Hannon le Adar...why have you been returned?"

The lord of the Golden Flower cleared his throat "Aye, well...it seems
that you mumbled something about needing advise and..."

"I mumbled that I would have liked to have Nana's advice at this time"

Glorduin shrugged "Well, you know the Valar...they love to put ripples
in the water, especially that Namo...he uh...he told me I was to come
and help you...so...you need help right now ion? What is it you need
help with"

Erestor narrowed his eyes "He does not need Your help...I do not want
you upsetting him in his condition"

Glorduin looked around at the others and smiled "Seems you have many
friends ion...friends who care greatly for you...*Heavy sigh*...so what
is this "Condition" your uh...your Erestor eludes to?"

Glorfindels shoulders slumped "Well, I mumbled aloud one day that since
I am with a ellon, it would be nice to adopt so that we may start a
family...they uh...they took that comment quite literally and..."

The lord of the Golden Flower looked down as Glorfindel rubbed his
slightly swollen belly, then shot his glance to Erestor "You
impregnated my ion?!"

Glorfindel released a rumbling growl and protectively stepped between
Erestor and his
father "By the blessing of the Valar...aye...he did. Now back up Adar
and do Not yell at my mate!"

Elrond swiftly stepped into view "Lord Glorduin, you have just
returned.
I think you would benefit from some rest...and you Findel, calm down
now...would you like for me to send for some bark and chocolate?"

Ignoring Elronds words, Glorduin took a step toward Glorfindel, his
fists clenched "Not only do you take a...a Male as your mate...you laid
submissive to this...this...this parchment licker?!"

The last thing that the lord of the Golden Flower saw, was his sons
fist.

~*~*~

Waking up several hours later, he groaned and sat up "Wha..."

"Lay still my lord, your nose is broken"

Looking around, Glorduin realized that he was in a guest chamber "And
who are you?"

"My name is Haldir, I have been placed in charge of watching you"

Flopping back down with a heavy sigh, Glorduin looked over "Haldir you
say?"

"Aye, I know not what you did to upset the great slayer, but I would
stay clear of him for a time"

"He...he bonded with a male. And not even a warrior, he bonded with an
advisor"

Haldir arched his brow "Careful my lord, so did I"

Glorduin slowly shook his head "Who else have I offended"

The march warden sat down on the edge of the bed "Lord Elrond and King
Thranduil are together, and lord Cirdan is with lord Elronds youngest
twin and..."

Holding up his hand, the lord of the Golden Flower blinked "What kind
of place Is this Imladris, I mean..."

Haldir smiled "Imladris is a safe haven for all. There are many
mixtures here...Ellon with ellon, elleth with elleth, ellon with
elleth...mortals with elves. All are welcome here and accepted"

Glorduin lowered his gaze "That actually sounds quite wonderful...a
place for everyone. I...I do love my ion...from the moment he took his
first breath, to the day I was struck down...I just never...I knew not
how to...I found pictures he had drawn, of ellon while they swam...they
were naked and...I prefer elleth and I knew not how to relate and it
frightened me and..."

Haldir and Glorduin looked up as Glorfindel cleared his throat "Would
you take a walk with me Adar"

Seeing his son in the doorway, the lord of the Golden Flower blinked
"You are much like your naneth, always slinking into a room unnoticed"

Glorfindel lightly chuckled at the memory, then made a half turn "Tul
Adar, let us walk...we need to talk"

~*~*~

When Haldir returned to his chamber, Mel was smiling from ear to ear.

"What"

"Well it seems that all the elflings survived their time with Orophin
and Lindir your brother told them stories and Lindir played music and
well the elflings even took their naps it was quite remarkable actually
when I showed up the little ones were finger painting and Orophin and
Lindir even offered to do it again and lord Elrond said that he would
have a large chamber prepared so that they do not have to watch them in
their personal chamber"

Haldir blinked in shock "That...that is wonderful! I always new that
Phin was good with elflings but...this is wonderful"

Melpomaen then arched his brow "Aye it is but I should worn you Orophin
commented that he is still going to get you back for doing this"

Pulling him into a deep embrace, Haldir smiled "I would expect nothing
less from him"

Looking around the room, the march warden sighed "Where is my little
Ormeril"

Mel lightly chuckled and shook his head "Well she has taken it upon
herself to court Healer Tordren she went to give him a gift"

*Groan* "You jest, Valar Mel what is with her...do elleth normally do
such things?"

"Nay they do not I think she gets her determination from You"

~*~*~

Tordren looked up and smiled "Penneth?"

"Hello healer Tordren"

"What brings you to the healing wing little one? You are not hurt are
you?"

Ormeril shook her head, then climbed up onto his lap "Oh nay I am fine
I have come to give you a gift"

"A gift? Tis not my begetting day my sweet"

"I know I have decided to court you so I am here to give you your first
gift of courtship"

Tordren blinked in shock, then smiled when Ormeril handed him her
finger painting "Tis beautiful, and I accept your proposal of courtship
my bold little painter"

"You do?"

"Aye, I can see that you are a strong little elleth, bold and
honest...these are things I admire and desire in a mate. You are
exactly what I have been looking for, but have not found"

Ormeril cuddled closer "Then you will be my husband?"

Wrapping his arms around her, he gave her a light squeeze "Aye, when
you reach your majority, and if you still want me, I will bond with
you...tho I do need to speak with your parents about this...you are but
a wee elfling, I would want them to know I have no ill intent toward
you, and that I would of course wait until you are of age"

"Ada may understand but Adar will beat you"

Tordren smiled "I will bring my ScratchThrorn"
