Lily hurried on down the halls barely avoiding the elves as she ran for Lego's room. Halfway down the hall, the two collided, literally. "Bran's come back! And she's talking to me again!!!!!" Lily burst out happily.
"I was coming to get you for breakfast and running a little late so…."
"Do you have any clue where Sulel was going? It looked like he was heading for the kitchens."
"Maybe, he's making Bran an apology breakfast…" Legolas suggested.
"Maybe…"
*****
Bran, who had decided to take a nap, awoke to the delicious smells of various breakfast foods. She sat up and looked around for the source of the heavenly scents. As she did so, she spied a little table set with breakfast and places for two. Without even bothering to get dressed (a/n she is in PJ's), she got up and went over to the table. Noticing a little note, she snatched it up, tore open the envelope, and began to read:
Bran,
I wanted to apologize for being so confused last night
After all, it's not every day the person you love is yelling
at you to stop them from doing something stupid like that.
If you accept my apology, let me know. I'm in the room next
to Legolas. I would like very much to have breakfast with
you but if you still are mad, I'll understand.
Amin mela lle (I love you),
Sulel
Bran thought over the note's contents. After a few moments, she grabbed a robe, pulled it on and ran down the halls much as Lily had just recently. Pounding on the door, with a whisper of 'stupid elf', she waited for him to answer. Presently someone tapped her on the shoulder and she jumped. "LILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't do that!" She shouted as she whirled around. She quickly realized she was mistaken.
"If you are looking for Sulel, I think he went to the Hall of Memories." Legolas told her with a weak smile at the fact she was now talking again. "Needless to say, Lily sneaks up on you quite often." He said laughing lightly.
"Yeah, she would sneak up and shout during school." Bran told him. After a few moments of thought she asked, "Where's the Hall of Memories?"
*****
Tears silently streamed down Sulel's face as he watched some painful and some cheerful memories from the past flash by. In the first one, he was around fifty and his mother, who had been stabbed, lay dieing in his arms. The second showed him around 100, he was strolling around the palace grounds with his fiancée, Ryuna, when an arrow struck her through the heart. She fell to her knees with a slight cry and gasping for air said "Amin… mela… lle… Sulel." With that, she let out her last breath and slumped against him. He could feel her blood stain his clothes, but he didn't care.
"Ryuna! No… you can't be dead, you just can't! No," he whispered holding her close and sobbing uncontrollably.
Bran walked into a large circular room to see Sulel rocking back and forth as if he were holding someone who had died and to hear him muttering. "Sulel?" She asked uncertainly. When he didn't answer, she ran over and grabbed his shoulders. "Sulel, what's wrong?" As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she noticed that although he was crying, his eyes were somewhat far away. She gently helped him up and out of the the hall. He seemed to come back to the 'normal' world about halfway down the hallway. He quickly began to lead her to her rooms, an excited look upon his visage. Bran on the other hand, kept sending confused glaces at him.
They reached her rooms and Sulel led her in. As soon as they were in, he sat her down in front of a large platter.
"I made it myself."
And that, thought Bran, explains a lot.
What was laid out in front of her looked like charred bacon, pink sausages, runny eggs, and black things that might have once been toast.
Sulel grinned like the village idiot. "So, what do you think?"
"Oh... God." Bran said, tears welling up in her eyes from the smoke drifting off the 'toast.'
Sulel however, took that statement the wrong way and said, "I thought you'd like it!" He quickly piled some of the food onto her plate. "Go on, try it!" Bran hesitantly brought her fork to spear one of the sausages. As she slowly brought it to he lips, she noticed that Sulel wasn't eating and wondered if it was some demented attempt to kill her. She had no time to dwell on that thought, because at that very moment, a teary-eyed Lily burst through her door. When she noticed Sulel, Lily made a move to go back out saying that she could come back later but Bran, after thanking whatever god was looking after her, quickly shoved Sulel out the door telling him she'd make lunch. "So, Lily, what's up?" She asked as soon as she slammed the door in his face.
"It's Legolas, I saw him embracing another elf, she looked almost exactly like him it was creepy!" Lily burst out in anguish.
"He does seem to have a little problem with stuff like that, doesn't he?" Bran quipped.
"But, but, I thought he loved me... how could he... MEOW!!!" with that, she fell onto Bran's bed sobbing uncontrolably. Bran akwardly patted her back until she thought Lily couldn't cry any more without becoming dehydrated. "Come'n Lil, let's go find out what this is all about." Bran said striding out into the hall. Lily quickly followed her and they soon came upon Aragorn and Legolas talking. "Cheat on Lily will you?!" Bran yelled at the elf, "It's one thing if it's me, but my best friend, that's drawing the line in the sand." with that, she punched him.
"What's going on?" Bran turned to see a she-elf who must have been the elf Lily was talking about. So, Bran once again, let her fist fly. By this time Aragorn had look of extreme merriment, and a little disgust, on his face. "What's so funny?" Bran demanded.
"May I introduce the Lady Legalan, Legolas' younger sister." with that, he continued to laugh as he picked up Legolas leaving Bran & Lily to get Legalan. "Bring them into my room, it's closest."
"Ugh..." the two elves groaned. Lily was sitting by Legolas and Aragorn by his sister (a/n te-he, It's so tempting... **fingers twitch over keyboard**) and Bran sat somewhere in the middle of the room staring out the window.
"What the heck was that all about!" Legolas asked sitting up, "Damn it Bran! ...you have a pretty good right hook." He concieded after touching his left jaw gingerly.
"So, let me get this straight," Legalan began, "you know her!"
"Duh he knows me..." Bran said, "Lily said she saw you two hugging, he had said he loved me then kissed Lil's here so... obviously we were suspisious." with that, she stormed out the door.
"Eventful afternoon." Aragorn commented blandly.
