Lúthien followed Elrohir into one of the guest bedrooms. The while were of the same marble as the rest of Rivendell, silk sky blue sheets covered the bed and ontop of then was a dress. The dress was beautiful, a pale green dress the reached the floor and long sleevesthat fanned out before reaching the sleeves. Lúthien loved but as I have said before Dragons were not fond of the constricting feeling that came with clothing.
"It's very beautiful. Please tell your father I appreciate it" Lúthien nodded toward Elrohir, it was meant as a sign to leave so she could change, but he did not seem to get the hint. "I wish to change, would you please leave" She asked politly.
"I'm afraid I cannot leave as my father has said I am to be your escort and guard" he said as if she would accept such nonsense.
"Yes and I agreed but I do not think he meant for you to be present while undress" annoyed he would not leave.
"Look I'll turn around and promise on my life I will not look" as he said this he turned around his back now facing her. Angry and in disbeleif that he was invading her privay like this, she came up behind him and pushed him toward the door. Elrohir was not prepared for the amount of force she used in her push. By the time he realised what she was doing they were standing out in the hall. "What do you think your doing?" he asked facing her and trying to get back into the room, but she blocked his way.
"I think that if I were to do the same with you, you would not take it to kindly and if this is how I am to be treated then I might as well leave" Lord Elrond heard the comotion while discussing matters with Elladen and wondered out into the hall.
"What is all this argueing about?" he asked. Lúthien and Elrohir where in the middle of a staring contest neither willing to look away. "lady Lúthien a dress has been prepared for yet you have not yet changed is it not to your taste?" he asked trying to difuse the tension.
"My lord the dress is beautiful but that is not the problem. Your son seems so be under the impression that he must stay by me at all times, such as when I wish to dress. If this is to be the case I beleive I leave right now" angry was still clear in her voice. Elrond looked at his son is disbelief.
"Elrohir I believe you have misunderstood my instructions, Yes you are to be her guard and escort but I believe she will be fine left on her own whilst in her room. It is only when she wonders the halls must you be present" Elrohir tried to explain his reasoning to his father but Elrond lifted a hand to stop him "If you are in your room which is only across the way and lady Lúthien wishes to wander I'm sure she will come and get you, wont you my lady" Elrond asked.
"Of course. This is your home and I will abide by the rules, including looking for Elrohir when needed"
"Good now that, that is clear my lady wont you go dress and wash up, there is a private en suite within your room. Elrohir if your so concerend she'll wander then stand outside her room" With tht said Lúthien turned to go back into her room while Elrohir stood at his post outside her room. Lord Elrond and Elladan then went back to the matter they were discussing.
Back in her room Lúthien went to the en suite and began to clean the dirt and blood of her skin, she then allowed her self to relax and get rid of the knots in her shoulders. Whilst rubbing at her kneck two soft hands began to massage her, to relaxed to argue she let them.
"Had I not asked to be given privacy?" not able to let anger into her voice as the hands on her began to go lower to rub her breasts.
"Yes but you were taking an awfully long time, and then I saw you in here and I could help myself. You are beautiful and enchanting" he continued to whisper sweet nothings into her ear whilst sliding the rest of his body sunk into the bath. He began to her kneck workingher way to her lips.
" Lúthien" loud knocks could be heard "Lúthien" again the knocks could be heard.
Lúthien jumped awake from her quick looked around and saw she was still with the bath. "Yes?" she asked trying to callm herself from her dream.
"Are you alright you've been in there for quite a while in there" she could here the cincern in Elrohirs voice. She smiled to her self then quickly shook her head.
"Yes I'm fine I seemed to have fallen asleep. Just please wait outside the door I'll only be about half an hour" Elrohir said something along the lines of call if you need something but she wasn't listening trying to interperate her dream but gave up and went to get dress.
As much as she loved the dress, she did make a few alterations of her own. She brought the lengh up to just below her knees so she could walk with more ease and had cut the back down lower so if she had to her wings could spread with ease. She left the sleeves as they covers her scales, she knew she was going to get gawked out enough wiht her being a dragon on elf land, she didn't need them to add more wood to the flame. Whe she finished dressing she wondered what to do with her hair and decided to just leave it hang over her shoulders.
"You've made some alterations I see" said Elrohir looking at the modifications she made.
"Yes well, Dragons are not very fond of such constrictions" she explained
"It suits you" he gave her a reasuring gestured for her to walk with him.
He brought her to the gardens. The flowers were in full bloom and sun was setting in the west, just like their first meeting.
"It's beautiful out here" she said whistleaning over to smell the roses. Elrohir just looked at her.
"I wish to apoligise for my behaviour earlier. There are no excuses for my actions" He said as she moved on to look at the snowdrops. Elrohir follwed her waiting patiently for a response.
"Your right there are no excuses for your actions. But I accept your apology and forgive you if you promise to never do that again" She said getting up from her kneeling position to look him in the eye. He nodded his head in agreement and gave a small smile which she returned.
Lúthien was feeling a little edgy and knew it was because she needed to spread her wings.
"I think I should go to my room" she said turning to walk back the way they came. Elrohir was confused by the sudden change.
"Have my actions from earlier made you uncomfortable to be around me?" he asked. He wanted to make her feel relaxed which he could clearly see she wasn't.
"No. It's just it's...You know when you suddenly get this uneasy feeling within you, it like your body telling theres something you must do releive that uneasyness" she asked hoping he may understand.
"Sometimes. What is this uneasyness you feel?" he hoped the question was not intruding her privacy.
"Its just been quite a few hours since I've let my wings out and I" she was cut off my Elrohirs laugh "It is not a laughing matter" she said in annoyance.
"Of course not but if that was all please feel free to do so, it's not like I haven't seen them before" he said referring to their first meeting. She had only asked soshe wouldn't scare but since he was making a joke of it she would be so cpurtious next time. He watch as her wings spread out. The llok aof amazement once again present on his face.
"You know everytime I witness this I can't help but become hypnotised" he said
"Everytime? You've only seen them twice" she teased.
"Still though" he shrugged of her tease. It was then an idea came to her.
"Want to try something?, but I need you to trust me and dont squirm" He nodded not sure what she was getting to but he had always been one for surprises. Lúthien's wings started to flap and her feet lifted of the ground. She didn't go to high not wanting to alarm him, but high enough to hovour over his head. She stretched her hands down toward him indicatinog for him to take them.
"Do you trust me?" she asked. Slowly and without a word he raised his arms and grabbed hold of his hands. Again, she slowly began to rise but this time holding on to Elrohir. She didn;t move forward or backward only up uptil they rose above the mountain that hide Rivendell from there enemys. Elrohir looked down at his home and then over the mountain the view was beautiful. He then looked above his head to look at Lúthien.
"Its beautiful up here. Why would you ever walk if you could fly?" he asked her. She looked down at him. Her face had a slight sadness to it.
"I think the height has made you forget the obvious" she said to his questions it was then he remebered. "besides, there are wonders on the earth that cannot be seen from above" she said trying to get back the light mood. She began to lower them down. When they reached the earth she once again concealed her wings but Elrohir never let go of her hand.
