The Fire Dance

Ch97


As they walked down the hall, Glorfindel nervously licked his lips when
he heard growling in his mind.......

***You are very lucky that I am fond of your little seed Glorfindel***

*My lord I do apologize...I should not have...*

***I also do not eat, well, at least the way You do...what do you
suggest I do, sit there and...***

*Aglar eats*

***Do not interrupt me Glorfindel, regardless of my appearance, I am
still Mandos!***

Glorfindel winced as Mandos yelled in his head *Again, I
apologize...perhaps you...*

***Quiet, Gwee is wondering why you are silent...say something to him***

Glorfindel gently placed his hand on his son shoulder "Elrond does not
know that we are to have a guest, I will go on ahead to inform him"

Torfindel smiled from ear to ear "Alright Ada"

Once they were alone, Gwee looked over "If...if you do not want to join
us you do not have to Eruion"

Mandos could feel sadness creeping into Torfindel's heart "I said I would
join you so therefore I shall"

~*~*~

Once Glorfindel had turned the corner, he took off into a full run,
skidding to a halt when he reached the dining hall "Aiyah! Elrond!
Mandos is joining us for morning meal!"

"What?!"

The seneschal found himself surrounded by every adult in the room "You
may slap me later Elrond, I did not expect him to say aye!"

Aglar shook his head as he chuckled "Adar contacted me while you were
walking back to the Homely House, he mentioned that he did not wish to
sadden Gwee by saying nay. He knows that friends are often invited for
meals by parents so that they may get to know them"

Elladan arched his brow "But Vel and Ron do not know who he is! And if
Gwee and Mandos are but moments away, they will arrive After they are
here! I can not just grab my ionath and pull them aside without Gwee
wondering why!"

Before anyone could respond, Torfindel entered the chamber "Morning
everyone, this is my friend Eruion"

The entire group turned, all blinking in shock as they gazed upon the
miniature version of Mandos and collectively smiled.

Elrond slowly approached and cleared his throat "Well, we have heard
much about you...Eruion, saes, havo dad"

Aglar crossed his arms as he approached "You will be sitting next to Gwee"

Mandos narrowed his eyes "That will be perfect, hannon le", then growled
in his sons mind ***Now listen here ion...I want no trouble from you***

Aglar smiled as he patted the top of Mandos's head and answered *Well,
you are about to find out what is it truly like to be an elfling Adar,
because Thorvel and Thoron do not know that you are Mandos...so do not
Crush them when they treat you as such. Take what they give*

***Wonderful***

~*~*~

Thorvel and Thoron stopped and stood in the archway of the dining
chamber, both tilting their heads.....

"Seems that we have a guest for morning meal Ron"
"Aye, and he is fair"
"Quite, he must be Gwee's new friend...what was his name?"
"Eruion"
"Rather pretentious of his parents to name him that"
"T'is not for us to judge Vel...his parents may be rather strict, you
know, like Daeradar taught us"
"Oh, you mean those family's that follow The One?"
"Aye, you know, they live in trees with no shelter, very natural...they
eat only what they are able to forage from their surroundings"
"Well let us go and say hello"

As the young twins approached, Torfindel stood and smiled from ear to
ear "Good morning Vel, Ron, this is my friend Eruion"

Every adult in the room held their breath as Mandos stood and lightly
inclined his head "Fair morning"

Vel smiled as he reached out and mussed Mandos hair "Well hello there
penneth"

Ron then smacked him on the back "Welcome to Rivendell, has your family
been here long?"

Mandos narrowed his eyes as he straightened his tunic and hair "Nay, not
long"

Elladan quickly stood "Vel, Ron, havo dad now"

As they sat down Aglar cleared his mind *Adar, the twins are
very...energetic, they have a tendency to throw food over at Gwee and...*

Everyone gasped as Mandos quickly stood "Argh!"

Vel: "Ooo, sorry Eruion!"
Ron: "Aye, that was meant for Gwee"

Torfindel quickly grabbed a cloth and began to wipe Mandos's hair of the
spoonful of porridge "I should have warned you about them, I'm sorry Eruion"

*Growl* *Deep breath* "T'is alright Gwee, I realize they were being playful"

Once the meal was finished Vel and Ron walked over ""We are truly sorry
Eruion""

Mandos peeked into their minds, then blinked with concern "T'is alright,
you actually made me feel welcome by sending the porridge into my
hair...never had I experienced anything like this morning meal...it
was...interesting"

When the twins left, and Torfindel was occupied by his fathers, Elladan
and Rumil walked over "My lord Mandos, saes, forgive them, they are
young and..."

Mandos held up his hand "I am not upset. They are pure of heart. May I
suggest something though?"

Elladan and Rumil furrowed their brows and Rumil smiled "You are Mandos,
you need not ask"

The Doomsman looked up and arched his dark brow "You may wish to keep
your dual seed from hunting for a few days"

Elrond walked over after hearing the comment "My lord, you have seen
something?"

"When do I not...heed my words, keep them away from horses for a few days"

Torfindel smiled as he ran over "What are you talking about"

Elladan smiled back and leaned down "Oh, we were just mentioning how Vel
and Ron are ready to be...uh...tested"

Torfindel gave him a confused look "Tested?"

"Aye, they are forty-three now, they are going to take a post in the
Homely House for a week or so"

"Oooo! They will be very excited! They want to be warriors so badly...though you may want to go get them, they mentioned how they were going to go riding after morning meal"
