Song For Nought
~
The elves were stuck cleaning the rest of the day and in to the next day before Elrond suggested they all clean themselves up before the feast that evening when they would meet the honored guest.
"Whoever this person is, is getting the royalty treatment, they better be important!" Elladan murmured.
"They are important to me and Thranduil. It is someone we have not seen in ages." Elrond frowned at Elladan's comment.
"Sorry, I didn't mean anything by that." Elladan blushed slightly at being heard.
~
The elves returned to their now neatly polished and cleaned rooms to prepare for the evening.
"Not another feast, remember what happened at the last one?" Legolas reminded Elladan.
"I don't think that will happen again this time though. Nuquer has kind of been marked as yours now so as long as we go into together and you sit by her it'll be ok." Elladan assured Legolas.
~
Elrond and Thranduil both sat in silence at the head of the main table waiting for the other guests to arrive and news of her arrival.
"Do you think she has changed much?" Thranduil asked.
"I can't say. I haven't heard any news of her since that summer, strange." Elrond was excited about seeing her but he couldn't wipe the feeling that something was strange about not hearing from her since that summer and suddenly she sends a message saying she's coming for a visit.
"It is a bit strange." Thranduil agreed and sat up as Vebor came in carrying the news that she had arrived the guest for the feast were on their way in.

Legolas waited outside Nuquer's door as she finished fixing her hair and she rushed out, looking positively gorgeous in her black robe with delicate red trimmings.
"You look gorgeous Nuquer." Legolas breathed as he took her arm and they headed for the Feast.
"Thank you!" Nuquer smiled and walked along beside him.
~
The invited guest had assembled at the various tables and were awaiting the entrance of the expected guest.
Finally a figure stepped into the door way and every head in the feast hall turned to see who it was.
A beautiful elf stepped into the room. Her robes were a stunning white and they flowed around her like a light breeze followed her every movement.
Elrond and Thranduil stood to greet her and no one else made a move or a sound.
"Waenmetiel, I'm so glad to see again. Have a seat over here." Elrond greeted the beautiful women and she smiled back at him.
"Hello, since when did dad know her?!" Elladan whispered to Elrohir.
"I have no idea." Elrohir couldn't take his eyes off of the women.
Nuquer noticed Legolas watching the women's' every moment.
"Earth to Legolas!" Nuquer tapped his shoulder to regain his attention.
"Oh, sorry I was just looking-"
"At her I know." Nuquer finished his sentence and sat back in her chair.
~
The feast was relatively quite because of the small amount of guests present. Only elves close to Elrond were invited and the feast was over in an hour or so.
"That was boring." Ven stated as the elves headed back towards their rooms.
"Not really." Elladan disagreed.
"Of course it wasn't for you guys! You stared at Waenmetiel the whole time!" Nuquer accused them.
None of the boys said anything but looked shamefully at the floor.
"Night." Nuquer turned and left the group to go to her own room.
