Declaimer: Anything Tolkien's is just that….Tolkien's. Anything mine, however….is just weird…
AN: ok, these are just odd paragraphs, mini-story type deals that I created. They haven't been put into any stories yet because last year, after I wrote them, I wrote a very long original story and then my muse jumped off the tallest building in Australia. Don't ask me how he got there, (he would've jumped in NYC, but they have issues with people jumping off their buildings.) Anyway, my muse survived the fall, miraculously, and is back…he'll probably go into cardiac arrest soon due to the amount of work I'm doing. Anyway, I haven't figured out what to do with these, so I'm putting them in this little jumble of odd snippets. Thank You for reading.
Summary: just like the title says, a collection of odd tidbits, Aragorn climbs a tree, Legolas goes partially bald, I talk to a horse, Elrond bangs his head on the wall, and Arwen tries on one of Elrond's robes.
One-Sided Conversations:
An: yes for this one, it is a self-insertion, first person format, just a dream I had once…quite literally. No, this is not the real me, the real me is boring.
This is an account in the diary of Faith, written after my little escapade. It looks rather weird reading my own name.
I sat up in bed as someone knocked on my door. The night had been long, I had been talking with the few elves I had met upon entering Imladris, or Rivendell as my people call it. "My people" being a group of humans from Bree.
At first I figured I should get up, people don't like to wait forever, and then I remembered they were elves. Elves! I 'm excited of course! I was told elves didn't care much for men, but Lord Elrond has been very kind to us. There are only a few of us here; we had set out on a hunting trip to gather much needed supplies for our corner of town. In case you are wondering, I am only here because father is unwell but mother says he'll be fine in a few days. The reason for our side trip to this magical place was a bear. He nearly killed one of our elder hunters. Oh but you should have seen them fight. This bear was massive and Master Evin was fighting like I have never seen!
I jumped from my reverie as the person knocked again. Grabbing the outer robe on the end of the bed, I tossed it on and told the knocker to enter.
"Finally Alex, took you long enough!" Charlie said laughing. I just bowed my head and mumbled something (I can't remember what it was) as a blush formed hot on my cheeks. Well what do you know? It wasn't an elf… silly me. Now, Charlie was also a young adult and fatherless. He was Really cute as well.
"Greetings Charlie, what brings you here?" I asked.
He was dressed in a dark green tunic with darker, but matching trousers. His shoulder-length dirty-blond hair pulled back in a pony-tail. I felt like such a mess, sitting in my borrowed night gown and robe.
"Some of the elves offered to show us to the stables to see the horses; I'm told they are some of the best in Arda! Would you like to come along?" he asked smiling. I looked down again at my clothes, then back to Charlie.
"Of course, just let me change first." I said motioning for him to leave. He didn't understand at first, "uh Charlie? Do you mind?" he looked at me sheepishly.
"Oh, sorry!" he rushed out the door, his cheeks and ears pink with embarrassment. I smiled and went to the walk in closet the elves had been so gracious to give me. After staring at the gowns with shock, putting on a light green one, and brushing my shoulder-length brown hair, I walked out of the room and into Charlie.
"I didn't know you were a girl!" he joked. I, of course, hit him in the shoulder playfully, "I figured you need help finding the way down to the others."
I thanked him and we headed down the intricate staircase to the front hall where two elves stood waiting for us. We walked out the door and followed a well-used path to another building.
"These are our stables; you may look at the horses, but ask permission if you choose to ride one." The elf smiled and walked out.
"We will return in a while, we have business to attend to now." The other elf stated, waved, and followed the first out the door. I rolled my eyes and walked into the first stall.
"Hello!" I said to the horse, smiling as I pretended to wait for a reply, the horse blinked, "oh you're the silent type!" I smiled knowingly at the horse then turned to Charlie.
"You've got to be careful with the silent types" I said using a stage whisper. He laughed and the horse huffed at me, "Oh don't worry, I'm only kidding" I patted the horse's head. Two seconds later, the horse had my hair in its mouth.
"EW! Let go, you silly creature!" I said to the horse, he reluctantly let go and my hair hit my neck with a wet smack.
"Let me guess, your just kidding?" The horse looked at me then lifted his head, lowered it, and shook it.
"Is that a ye-no? Or an n-yes?" I asked him laughing. The horse pushed me out of the stall with his head and whinnied. Charlie, of course, just stared and someone in the corner of the stables laughed at the scene.
AN: sooo, what do you think of the first part? up next...Purple people eater… Estel brings home a wild kitten and kitten likes purple. (Goes along with the "Elrond wears purple" jokes)
