CHAPTER 11

Derek and Spencer sat in the garden. Derek was a smiling fool.

" He really asked you to be with him?"

Spencer nodded.

" Technically, here in Imladris it is called ' courting' which is the same term used by nobles in the earlier century and..."

"Reid!"

Spencer looked at Derek in confusion.

" What?"

Derek grinned.

" Behind you."

Spencer barely turned around before he was swooped into a pair of strong arms. He laughed.

" Glorfindel!"

Glorfindel grinned.

" Did I scare you?"

Spencer shook his head.

" Of course not."

Glorfindel turned to Derek.

" What about you Derek? Derek?"

Glorfindel saw that Derek was staring at an elf. Long brown hair and brownish colored robes. Glorfindel laughed.

" That is Melpomaen, the assistant of Erestor."
