The Fire Dance





Ch7



Still that morning.......

Elladan, Elrohir and Legolas slowly began to wake.

The tree they were laying beneath kept them shaded and when the three
princes finally claimed full focus, they slowly looked at their tangled
forms and the events of the night before began to return.

Slowly, all three sets of eyes widened and they quickly scrambled off
one another.

Legolas began to pace, shaking out his arms and hands while he
shuddered, then looked to Elladan "Ew!...ew you...you had your hand
down my leggings!" then looked to Elrohir, "And you were...ew! Are
there any marks on my neck?!"

Elladan inspected his friends neck "Nay Legolas there are no marks"
then shook his head, "What kind of wine Was that!"

Legolas shrugged as he scratched the back of his ear "I know not...only
that is was from the Gray Havens...I do know one thing though, I
certainly am Not going to drink for a while!"

The twins nodded in agreement and Elladan then smiled "Well, I
apologize for my hand".

The elder twin looked over at his brother and after a moment of
silence, he nodded, then looked to the prince "And Elrohir says that he
apologizes for his lips".

Legolas chuckled and shook his head "And I for my caresses".

As the three of them made their way to the barracks, Elladan snorted
"Tis fortunate that we passed out before things got...to personal. I
mean...you are more then fair Legolas but...".

The Mirkwood prince shuddered and held up his hands "Ooo...daro. I
fully agree, you are both like brothers to me".

Elrohir took a deep breath, then looked to his elder twin and Elladan
nodded "Roh is concerned and wondering how Erestor is doing".

Legolas stopped dead and blinked "Two sentences in such a short time?
My my...we are chatty this morning".

Elladan chuckled as he shook his head "Roh says, Shut up Legolas you
mountain dwelling imp".

Legolas snorted and arched his brow playfully "Three sentences!".

Elrohir rolled his eyes and sighed as they continued on their way.

Erestor slowly focused, then sighed "Glorfindel release me I need to
use the privy".

After a moment, the dark advisor frowned when he heard a quiet whimper
in his ear, then pleading "Ai nana go, get clear of the city. I will be
fine...nana saes...I will meet with you later, get to safety...".

Erestors eyes began to fill with tears as he thought about how
Glorfindels mother, heeding her only son, would have fled at his
request, only to find out later that he had died...loosing both her
husband and son.

Moments later, Erestor startled as Glorfindel shot up "Ahhghh!!".

The dark advisor quickly wrapped his arms around his new mate and
stroked his hair "Glorfindel? Shh...Findel it is alright you are
here...in Imladris".

The seneschal panted heavily, then took a shaky deep breath as he
looked over at the dark advisor and whispered "I apologize, I should
have warned you...I...I have...isues".

Erestor affectionately nuzzled at his shoulder and smiled kindly "Don't
we all?", then pulled Glorfindel back down and sighed "Tis our first
morning as mates...perhaps we could just stay here and...and talk. We
know each other through duty...but we are strangers personally".

Glorfindel gently wrapped his arms around him and smiled "Aye, that
sounds like a fine idea. My second and your..." the seneschal then
furrowed his brow, "Who is your second Erestor...I do not believe I
have ever encountered him".

Erestor chuckled and arched his brow "I will have to have more then
just my second take over...I do the work of  four elves...daily.
My
second is Melpomaen. Let me up so that I may go to the privy, then I
will go and place him in charge. I will also have Mel inform your
second that he will need to take charge today".

Glorfindel gave him a squeeze, then got out of bed "Have your Mel send
him a note by my hand, if Huradel does not hear this from me, he will
more then likely hunt me down to find out if it is true...I never take
time off".

When Erestor emerged from the privy, he quickly dressed, took the note
from Glorfindel, then stopped at the door "This will not take long
my...husband, and I will have morning meal deliverd...I will return
swiftly".

Once the dark advisor had left the room, Glorfindel laid back down and
sighed with a smile "He called me husband".
