Ugh! Jareth keeps complaining that Legolas is prettier than he is. It's rather annoying. Especially at night when I'm trying to sleep… I'm pretty sure all of Rivendell heard me scream, "Will you shut UP ALREADY? You're driving me insane!" Heh. Cuz, uh... All the wildlife went silent. Heh. Not even a cricket chirp. Do they even have crickets in ME??? Never mind. I don't wanna know. Legolas is being nice and he's teaching me archery. Bwaha. I was pretty good with a 30 lb. modern bow, 4 years ago. Then again, I was only hitting a plastic covered bale of hay… Hrmmm. AND it's been 4 years since I've handled a bow. I'm also left-handed so it's pretty interesting to see Legolas hold the bow with his left hand and hold the arrow with his right… I hold the bow with my right hand and hold the arrow with me left. Jareth thinks archery is pointless. I told him curtly that he only thought so because he possessed magic and therefore did not need to use a bow and arrow. I think Legolas snickered slightly which made me crack a smile. I tried handling a sword… I couldn't even lift the damn thing! lol. So I'm sticking with a bow and arrow. Heh. Much easier to use. Yes. Very.
I almost shot Jareth once... He wasn't paying attention, and I, being the klutz that I am, accidentally shot an arrow at the tree Jareth was leaning on. Heh. Whoopsies! He promptly chased me after that throughout Rivendell, only stopping when I managed to fall into one of the ponds. It wasn't a pretty sight. He didn't bother to help me out, either… Stupid Fae. Lord Elrond saw the commotion and decided to help me out of the very cold pond, but of course, he was laughing. Hell, if it weren't me and it was somebody else, I'd be laughing too. I cursed at Jareth in Elvish, "Llie n'vanima ar' lle atara lanneina, kela!" which means "You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny, go away!". Heh. I love being able to use different languages and confusing people. Legolas merely chuckled.
I don't see why Jareth could like me... But in his own demented mind, only he knows. The day I see myself in his arms, kissing him passionately is the day after I go skipping through a meadow happily with an Orc, hand in hand with a flower in my hair. Yeah. NOT happening.
I can't resist touching Chico-Duende's ears. Heh. One, because it drives him crazy. Two, it's fun. Three, I love torturing him. Heh. Cuz I'm mischievous like that. No, don't you see the halo? It's currently being held up by devilish horns, but it's there all the same!
But I must go now. Lord Elrond wishes to speak with me.. About what, who knows. But I will soon find out. And I think I've traumatized Jareth enough for one day.
