Song For Nought
~
A/n: Lamoo, to kind of answer the Nuquer's "look" thing I have to remind you of Waenmetiel's curse. But that's all I'm going to say!

Maik and Ven went to find the boys.
"Legolas?" Maik burst into his room where he, Elladan, and Elrohir were assembled and looking quite grim. "Legolas? How are you doing?" Maik sat down next to Legolas and looked at his frowning face.
"Just great, considering Nuquer supposedly doesn't like me anymore, in that way, and now she is.well.you know, you said it yourself!" Legolas burst out.
"It's ok, Legolas, Nuquer, she's.difficult."
"Yea, so I noticed!" Legolas crossed his arms and pouted, referring back to his childhood days when he didn't get what he wanted.
"Well, this is probably some stupid phase she is going through and it'll pass." Maik tried to comfort Legolas but wasn't all that sure about her friends sanity at the moment.
"Was she really looking at Elrond, in that way?" Legolas asked after he had calmed down for a moment.
"I'm not sure. I was probably the light, I wasn't really looking that close anyways." Maik confessed.
"That's gross, uh.no offense to you guys." Legolas added to Elladan and Elrohir.
"It's all right, none taken!" Elladan shuddered.

Waenmetiel was following Haldir through the gardens back to her room.
"It was nice talking to you, Haldir." Waenmetiel smiled at him.
"I had a nice time too. I guess I'll see you tomorrow morning then." Haldir nodded and left Waenmetiel at her door.
"Haldir, where have you been?" Glorfindel looked up from his book as Haldir entered the study that connected their rooms.
"I was out with Waenmetiel." Haldir confided.
"Oh." Glorfindel got a look of concern on his face, "Not to be rude and I don't want you to take this the wrong way but, she seems kind of.I don't know. Just be careful ok?" Glorfindel hoped Haldir would take this the right way.
"It's ok I understand." Haldir nodded and took a seat across from Glorfindel.
"She seems nice at first but I think there is something behind her niceness." Glorfindel leaned forward.
"Oh, you're probably right, as usual." Haldir leaned back in his chair thinking. "She seemed kind of distant tonight, like something was on her mind that she couldn't stop thinking about." Haldir said quietly.
"Well, whatever it is, I have a feeling it's not something that you want to be mixed up in." Glorfindel shook his head.
"Alright, I'll stay away from her. Every other you time you've warned me of something you have always been right. So, I take your word on this one. If you are wrong though, I'll put an arrow through your left ear!" Haldir joked. Glorfindel laughed lightly and stood to retire to his rooms.
"I give you my permission to do so." Glorfindel smiled and exited the room.

The five young elves retired to their rooms for the evening, thinking on the days strange events.
I wonder if any other summer in Rivendell has been quite as unusual as ours has been so far. Actually it just keeps on getting stranger!
Elrohir lay in his bed pondering.

Nuquer sat on her balcony looking up at the evening stars.
"Hello, Nuquer." Waenmetiel walked out onto the balcony.
"Oh!" Nuquer had not even heard her come in her room. "Um, hello." Nuquer turned to look at Waenmetiel.
"Your door was open, I wanted to come in and see you." Waenmetiel pointed to the still open door.
"All right. What about?" Nuquer moved over when Waenmetiel moved to sit next to her on the bench.
"About you." Waenmetiel smiled a sisterly smile at her. "Do you have any brothers or sisters back home?" Waenmetiel asked politely.
"No. I am an only child." Nuquer replied still unsure of what exactly Waenmetiel was after.
"I am also an only child. Sometimes I wish I had had a sister while I was growing up, I still wish I had a sister actually. One that I could tell all my secrets to. I guess I just want someone who understands. Do you ever wish you had brothers or sisters?" Waenmetiel looked at Nuquer.
Nuquer took a moment before answering, "I guess, sometimes I do."
"Let us pretend, you and I, that we are sisters for a moment. It'll be nice. I am your dear older sister and you, my dear younger sister and, we get along wonderfully." Waenmetiel took Nuquer's hand and looked into her eyes.
Nuquer was flustered for a moment, "All right. Want do we say?"
"We can talk, freely, like sisters."
"That sounds.nice."
"Tell me of you and Legolas. It has been many years since I have talked like a young elf and my heart misses it much!"
"Um, we're friends and nothing more." Nuquer looked down at the floor as she said this.
"I though you and him had something special!? What about the night I accidentally ruined your moment together?" Waenmetiel lifted Nuquer's head.
"I don't know. My heart fooled me into thinking I wanted to be with him. Now we are nothing more than friends."
"Oh, sister, dear. That is saddening to my heart. I surely thought you two were happy together! But, if you are certain that your heart had you fooled then it is not right to dwell on things past!" Waenmetiel leaned forward. "Between, you and I, sister, he didn't seem right for you! You deserve so much more!" Waenmetiel leaned forwards and lightly kissed Nuquer's forehead, as an older sister might do when her younger sister was in pain.
"I will leave you to your thoughts, dear sister. If you ever need a big sister to talk to, you know who you can come to!" Waenmetiel gave Nuquer's hand a squeeze and stood to leave.
Nuquer watched to older elf leave the room feeling very confused.
Waenmetiel shut the door behind her and a hideously malicious grin crossed her face, contorting it.
