Double Drabble: Rescue
"At last! Thank the Valar you are here, Legolas!"
…
"What are you doing? Aren't you going to untie me?"
…
"Legolas! This is no jest! Free me now!"
"Be quiet, Aragorn. I am contemplating the effect of the lashing rain upon your flesh, unclothed as you are."
"Quiet! Contemplating! Legolas, are you out of your Elvish mind?"
"Nay, I am merely seizing an … opportune moment. They did not hurt you, the orcs? They have left you spreadeagled here as warg-bait, then. A cruel way to die."
"They will come back. Hurry, untie me!"
"No they will not. We killed them all. And the rest of the Fellowship is camped not far away."
"Legolas. You. Will. Release. Me."
"Yes, I will. Eventually. Hah, you like that, do you?"
"Who leads this Fellowship anyway?"
"You do. And if you beg me nicely, the minstrels will never be the wiser about this."
"I … will not beg at your hands. Ai!"
"Why not, melethron-nin? I beg at yours practically every night."
"Nai Valaraukar tye-matar!" [May Balrogs eat you!]
"Ahh, a little harder there, then?"
"Ohh…Aiii! Truly, you will not tell anyone?
"You have my oath."
"Please… oh, Eru, please, my Elf! "
"Much better."
