The Story With No Title

Drunk?





Beleg stood, still trying to catch his breath. His eyes darted from Liriel to Paullina.

Paullina turned to him. "Now do you believe me?"

"YES!"

Liriel looked confused. "Believe what?

Beleg finally got his breath back. "Liriel, Paul is a woman."

"Beleg, I was one of those tending Paul when he was first brought in. He is most definitely male." She crossed her arms and stared at Beleg and then Paullina. "Both of you are drunk. I will talk to you later Paul, when you are sober." Turning abruptly, she left the room.

Paullina growled deeply. 'That's it! I can't stand it anymore' She grabbed hold of Beleg's shoulders. "Beleg, what am I going to do? She's driving me insane. I want to go home! Do something!" She was roughly shaking Beleg to punctuate each sentence. The elf only stared back in shock and fear.

"Paullina!" Hearing her real name ripped her out of her frenzied panic. She let go of Beleg and walked backward.

"I'm sorry Beleg, but I can't take too much more of this." She slumped down, almost missing the chair. She leaned forward covering her face with her hands. After a moment she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up she and saw Beleg looking down at her, his face filled with compassion.

"Would you like me to speak to Elrond for you?"

"Would you?" Paullina's face brightened.

"Yes, of course. It is easy to see that you are greatly pained by this situation with Liriel. Worry no more my friend."

"Oh thank you Beleg." Paullina jumped to her feet and grasped Beleg around the waist and lifted him off his feet in a crushing hug.

"You are…welcome…but I cannot talk to Elrond if I am dead."
