Thranduil: Thranduil walks into his chambers after a long day of meetings, looking around the rooms disinterestedly. He knows that he has a meeting within the hour but he cannot resist himself. He pulls on the latch to the secret door, which is built into the floor behind the door. He walks onto a landing & begins to climb down the stairs. He enters the hidden room & walks along the hallway. He sighs deeply as he steps into the living room. He sits down in a soft chair & relaxes into it. His thoughts turn to the events of the past few weeks. He knows he should spend more time with Elandoris but doesn't know how to make time for his now-lover. Thranduil smiles as his mind wanders back to Elanordis. He knows that this woman was beginning to grow on him. He doesn't know how she could have made this much of an impression on his heart of stone. Elanordis has somehow managed to melt his heart & wriggle her way into it. His face melts into a smile as he thinks further on Elanordis. Thranduil knows that he should think of his people but he can't help but love this woman. Thranduil's head snaps up when he hears a guard calling out for him. He checks the time & gasps when he realizes that the meeting is in ten minutes. Thranduil stands to his feet & jogs up the stairs. He reenters his private chambers & crosses the room at a jog. He enters the meeting just in time, breathing heavily.
