SPRING

It's a raining day in spring.

Erestor was working in his office when he heard a heavy rain outside his windows. He glanced outside and saw only a curtain of white rain. He continued working until a drop of water fell onto the parchment in his hand. Erestor looked up and a droplet fell to his face unexpectedly.

"What in heaven!?" He mumbled.

More droplets fell to his desk and floor. Erestor shook his head annoyingly. He cleared his desk and put his parchment and stationary away. Several jars were placed where water was dropped.

"I can't believe it. Of all place in this house, it must be my office." He grumbled. He must search for the leaks in the roof before his office was flooded. The counselor opened his door and saw the head housekeeper walking pass his office at the moment.

"Mildreth."

"My lord counselor." Mildreth bowed to the counselor.

"There may be some leak in the roof above my office. Could you please send someone to clean the wet floor and place some buckets here."

"Oh, my!" Mildreth looked inside the office panicky. "I'll go get the maids immediately."

"Thank you." Erestor nodded his head. "By the way, I'll go to the roof and find the source of this mayhem. Could you prepare me a hot bath in my room? I think I'll get soaked doing that." Erestor smiled dryly.

"I'll ask a servant to look for the leaks for you." Mildreth offered.

"It's alright I can do it myself. Thank you."

Glorfindel had to cancel his training for the recruits abruptly because of the heavy rain that poured down over his head without warning. He and his soldiers were soaking wet. After dismissing his soldiers, Glorfindel went back to the main house, heading to the confine of his chambers. Elves should not feel cold, but this rain made him chill to his bone.

"My lord Glorfindel."

A cold voice from behind made him jump and stop on his track abruptly.

"Yes, Mildreth?" He slowly turned to see Mildreth, the head housekeeper, glaring at him in annoyance.

"You make the main hallway wet and dirty. Could you please use another way, like the servant passage, to go to your chambers? Or you can use the common bathroom to clean yourself first?"

"Of course, Mildreth. I'm sorry." Glorfindel smiled dryly.

"I apologize, my lord, for being too hard on you." Mildreth bowed her head lightly. "But the lord counselor will not please with us if he saw this mess."

"I understand Mildreth. Erestor is too strict sometimes. I have to go, this way, right?"

With that Glorfindel left to find the servant passage way to his room. The passage was about four feet wide, the wall made with plain white tiles and the floor with granite, which was easier to clean up than the marble and carpet of the main hall. This passage way would pass many chambers but could not be seen from the people inside.

He walked pass an exit to a small terrace, and had to step back to have a better look. There, standing near the edge of the terrace, was an elf with inky black hair and dark rope. The elf was perching dangerously over the edge.

"What are you doing, Erestor?"

Glorfindel cursed himself when the dark elf was startled and lost his balance. With a speed of an elf, Glorfindel dashed forward and grabbed Erestor's body in time before he slipped and fell to the ground.

"What are you doing? Trying to kill yourself?!" Glorfindel yelled at the one he held in his arms.

"What are you doing? Trying to kill ME?!" Erestor yelled back. "And release me NOW!"

"What?" Glorfindel still held the smaller body tight. "Didn't you try to harm yourself?"

"I'm not stupid, you idiot!" Erestor gritted his teeth. "There's a leak in the roof and it almost flood my office. I was looking for the leak!"

"Oh." Glorfindel still held the counselor.

"Release me!" Erestor was unable to breath. "Are you trying to suffocate me?"

Glorfindel laughed dryly and pulled Erestor away from the edge of the terrace before letting him free.

"My robe's wet." Erestor glared at the captain who scratched his head embarrassingly. "I have to change my clothes, thanks to you."

"Sorry."

"Since you are already soaking wet, could you please climb over the railing and find the hole or the leak?"

"You are bossy, you know that, right?" Glorfindel complained but complied anyway. He climbed down the terrace and over the railing for a minute, and then shouted back to the counselor.

"Found it!"

"Where?" Erestor asked.

"You owe me my handkerchief." Glorfindel climbed back to the terrace. "I used it to mark the hole. You should tell someone to seal it after the rain stop though."

"Alright. Thank you, Fin." Erestor's smiles stopped any further complain from the golden lord instantly.

"Let's go." Erestor turned to look at Glorfindel who was still standing in the middle of the terrace.

"Where?" Glorfindel knitted his eyebrows in confusion.

"Are you going to change your clothes? You are soaking wet and very dirty now."

"Uhm." Glorfindel nodded his head.

"I have a hot bath in my bathroom if you want to use it."

Glorfindel smiled widely.

"Definitely!"
