Chapter Four
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me except Ilisis.
Two elves appeared. Unfortunately, they were Breinen and Incinden, the two biggest gossips in all of Mirkwood.
"Well, what are you two doing?" drawled Breinen. "Behavior such as this ought to be conducted in private." Breinen and Inciden sniggered; it was obvious they thought Legolas and Ilisis were about to engage in certain inappropriate activities. Legolas and Ilisis reddened and Legolas got off Ilisis.
"We were doing nothing of the sort your minds were thinking about," snapped Legolas.
"Then what were you doing in such a position?" asked Incinden sarcastically.
"He was attempting to pummel me until you two interrupted –," snapped Ilisis.
"Your inappropriate behavior that needs to be conducted in private," said Incinden in a disbelieving voice.
"We were not doing anything of the sort!" snapped Legolas, his face reddening again.
"Anyways, if you two need a private place to conduct your activities, we would happy to find you one, as we don't want to such disgusting sights," said Inciden.
"We do not a private place as we were never doing any such activities!" snapped Ilisis, her face extremely hot. Breinden and Incinden sniggered.
"You had better not breathe a word of what you saw," said Legolas threateningly.
"So I suppose you're admitting that you were engaging in inappropriate activities?" teased Breinden.
"We were not engaging in any sort of inappropriate activities but likely you two shall exaggerate that we were!" cried Ilisis "So you two had better not breath a word of what you saw or you'll regret it," she threatened. Incinden and Breinden sniggered and walked away.
Legolas shuddered at the thought of the embarrassment he would get if Breinden and Incinden told all of Mirkwood they were engaging in "inappropriate behavior" in public. If only stupid Ilisis hadn't gotten us in this situation.
"This is all your fault!" cried Ilisis, breaking his chain of thoughts.
"My fault? It was you who fell the wrong way and got us into that very ambiguous position." retorted Legolas.
"I do not even want to think about that ambiguous position," said Ilisis. "I cannot fathom how you would want put us in such a position."
"Oh, just the need to engage in certain "inappropriate activities", he said with a teasing smile that infuriated Ilisis.
"Well then you ought to find one of your little whores to do that!" snapped Ilisis.
"Well I did – you," teased Legolas.
"I am not your whore!" snapped Ilisis.
"Then who's are you?" teased Legolas. Smack. Ilisis slapped him hard.
"Ow! Crap. What was that for?"
"You are intelligent," said Ilisis sarcastically.
"I know I am, compared to you, as you have the intelligence of a dwarf," said Legolas. He turned around and walked away.
"I'll get you for that!"
