As she let the song fade into her bedroom, Annundaeiel smiled. She had made the song soon after she had come to Mirkwood. Why had Maegmariel been singing it? It had been at least fifty years since she had heard it, and that had been from her own lips. She looked out her window, the clouds from the morning before had returned, covering the full moon. She heard a clatter from the hall, and a knock at the door.
"Annundaeiel, are you going to take all night? I ran to tell Maegmariel and Legolas that you would be late, and I am now tired, so I would like to eat!"
"Baranoonien, I will be ready by the next full moon I promise you!"
Annundaeiel heard Baranoonien groan, and smiled. Baranoonien was a young elf, and infinitely impatient, even when compared with Annundaeiel or Maegmariel. She had a mouth that never seemed to stop; yet people couldn't bring themselves to try to shut it up. Surprissingly, her mouth rarely got her into trouble. Annundaeiel didn't mind her all that much, most of the time, though she was a bit much at times. This was exactly why she was chosen as her dinner partner. Usually, she preferred Maegmariel's or Legolas' company, but Baranoonien's outlook on the world was different and fresh. Her proneness to crushes was also amusing.
"I hope that you didn't really tell them that I would be late!"
Baranoonien stepped into Annundaeiel's room.
"Nay, but I am close to it!"
She gasped
"Annundaeiel, no wonder it took so long!"
Annundaeiel looked around, bewildered. In reality, it had not taken all that long to get ready, it was only a combination of her friend's impatience, and her own daydreaming.
"what do you mean?"
Baranoonien rolled her eyes. No matter how many times she was told, Annundaeiel could not grasp the concept that she was actually quite pretty. She grabbed Annundaeiel's hand.
"Never mind, can we please go?"
Annundaeiel laughed
"Very well, lead on!"
With that, Baranoonien dragged her down the hall, all the while talking about her current lover, Mathielion, and how he was being annoying. Annundaeiel chuckled, remembering all of her other crushes, including Afrairnion and Legolas. She was suddenly glad that her friend was over that particular crush.
When they got to dinner, Annundaeiel sat down next to Baranoonien and looked around. Maegmariel, Legolas, and Thranduil were sitting in front, as usual. Since she was just a friend of the royal family and not a part of it, she did not sit with them at meals. She didn't mind though, Legolas and Maegmariel always came to see her after dinner, and she saw them between meals.
"Annundaeiel! Wake up!"
Annundaeiel started, and looked at her friend.
"What?"
"Well you were staring off into space and not listening and ..."
"I was listening!"
"so what did I say."
It was a familiar ploy, but an easy one to get around, Baranoonien was always talking about one thing.
"Something about Mathielion..."
"Humph"
Annundaeiel knew that she wasn't convinced, but didn't care. As she ate, her mind drifted away from her dinner partner and back again.
"... And ever since I have been with Mathielion, others have begun to see me as well!"
"Baranoonien, they have all seen you, they simply did not notice you before."
Baranoonien rolled her eyes at her friend, used to her being difficult, but still not liking it much, she got up.
"You know what I meant!"
"Of course..."
Baranoonien sighed, Annundaeiel's mind was obviously among the clouds at the moment, and nothing she said would reach her fully, so she went to see someone else, and ran into Mathielion.
As the music started, Annundaeiel watched, amused, as Mathielion tried to convince Baranoonien to dance with him. Finally, Baranoonien gave in, and she allowed herself to be led into a waltz, rolling her eyes. Annundaeiel sighed, and got up, planning to go to the garden.
"Annundaeiel, you will not get out so easily!"
She stopped and turned around, facing Legolas, and giving him an innocent look.
"Get out of what?"
Legolas pretended to look hurt, offended and important at the same time. It backfired, and he ended up giving her puppy dog eyes, which just made her chuckle.
"Get out of dancing with me of course."
When Thranduil had once insisted that Legolas take part in the dancing, he just asked her. Now, nearly every night, Legolas asked her to dance at least once. It had become a tradition.
"And why should I dance with you?"
She said it, even though every fiber of her being screamed at her to say yes.
"Because I asked!"
"And why does that make a difference?"
"Would you rather I grab you from behind?"
"You may yet have to!"
Having said that, Annundaeiel took off into the trees and Legolas took off after her.

Ok, at the advice of Annette (kill her if you think this chapt is too short!) I am ending there. Road show was canceled, so I will type the next chapter right about now!
A/N to Sarah, ok Sarah, this is a game called spot the character! Who is Baranoonien based off of? Lol. None of you other ppls will get that. (ugh SARAH COME HOME!)
