Erestor83: how much does that suck? I think Ereinion needs to let a certain elf *cough* Cirdan *cough* be with him.

Ereinion: how subtle..

Erestor83: how about a little disclaimer?

Ereinion: NO! *walks away*

Cirdan: *laughs*

Erestor83: GRRRRR...on with the fic...

CHAPTER 4

Ereinion turned to face Cirdan.

" It...It is not."

Cirdan's eyes widened.

"It has already happened. Has it not?"

Ereinion sat dejectly in a nearby chair.

" You and I can never be."

Cirdan knelt in front of him.

" Ereinion, we are not blood. We have no blood relation. We can be together, but you are pushing me away. Just like you did to..."

Ereinion glared at him.

" Go ahead. Say it. ' Just like I did to Erestor' right?"

Cirdan shook his head sadly.

" He was not your mate of soul."

Ereinion felt like rolling his eyes like an elfling, but then stopped. How did Cirdan know that Erestor was not his mate of soul? Cirdan lowered his head.

" Do you know how I know this?"

Ereinion shook his head, but gave no spoken reply. Cirdan kept his head lowered.

" I know this because I am your mate of soul."
