Wow. Fourth Chapter Already?
"Who is that behind you?"
'Oh crap, oh crap.' Legolas pulled the trailing silk into hiding behind Haldir's legs, but it was too late, for Aragorn, Elrond and Gimli had already noticed the stray scrap of gauzy tissue.
"Haldir, are you tormenting one of the ladies again?" asked Elrond with a sigh. This wouldn't be the first case of Haldir's interesting methods of attracting female attention.
'One of the ladies? That's it!' Legolas reached up and began rapidly undoing his braids. There was no WAY he would be caught recognizable in his current clothing.
"Um.no?" was the worried answer. Haldir chanced a glance over his shoulder and gaped blankly at what he saw there. Elrond and his companions found this highly suspicious.
"Haldir, what have I told you about harassing guests? And, Glorfindel, Elladan, Ellrohir, I would have thought you three would have kept him out of trouble! Now, miss, Aragorn here will escort you back." Aragorn stepped forward towards Haldir as Elladan and Ellrohir reached forward to pull him back.
"No, I'm sorry for troubling you, but that won't be necessary. These kind Lords are showing me the way to see Lady Arwen." The voice was rich and silky as the sea-green gown that the voice's owner was wearing. The elven twins and Glorfindel gawked, astonished, at the figure who moved out from behind Haldir. Haldir appeared to be fighting down laughter.
"But we heard a scream." Gimli half questioned, half stated.
"Oh, I'm sorry, but Elladan startled me, and I screamed. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Legolas's bent head hid his furiously blushing face behind a veil of long golden hair.
"Oh, no trouble at all. Are you sure you don't wish someone less.mischievous to escort you to my daughter?"
"No, milord, these four were doing an admirable job. We were almost there anyway." Legolas motioned down the hall toward Arwen's rooms.
"Well, if you're sure." Elrond and Gimli turned back towards the great hall. Aragorn began to follow, but stopped and scooped up the, to him, mysterious lady's hand.
"I look forward to seeing you at the banquet this evening, Lady.?"
Legolas gulped and flushed. "Legalese."
Aragorn bestowed a kiss on Legolas's hand before turning and hurrying to catch up with his companions.
Silence reigned amongst the four prank-pulling elves as they watched the three walk away. When they had left (elven) earshot, they turned as one to their victim, and gazed upon him in awe.
Legolas reddened at the attention. "What?"
"I can't believe you pulled that off.You saved us .." Glorfindel's eyes were wide with appreciation.
"I didn't do it for you. There was no way I was going to be seen like that. I'm going to go change."
"No, Legolas, you can't! We have to take you to see Arwen!"
"Oh, gods.You four are determined?" He looked around at their hopeful faces. "Oh, all right! I'll go see Arwen with you!"
The others cheered wildly, and, after scooping up their gowned comrade, rushed off down the hall, to Legolas's mutters of, "This better not take too long."
