Song For Nought
~
Nuquer sat in her room pondering whether she wanted to go to dinner or not. She walked out on her balcony just in time to see her friends returning to their rooms. Nuquer watched them walk and suddenly noticed there was another elf with them. Nuquer studied the six elf. They looked familiar but Nuquer was sure she hadn't seen the elf around the house.
Nuquer watched as the elf turned to say something to Ven and then the realization hit, the elf was Melde!! Nuquer gasped in surprise.
What is Melde doing here?!
Nuquer was about to call to Melde when there was a knock on her door.
Nuquer decided she'd talk to her later and turned to get the door.
Outside the door stood Elrond.
"How have you been feeling Nuquer?" Elrond smiled lightly at Nuquer.
"Um, fine, thank you. Why do you ask?" Nuquer tried to seem natural.
"I just noticed you haven't been spending much time with the others lately." Elrond mentioned lightly.
"I guess I'm just a bit homesick." Nuquer said the first thing that came to mind.
Elrond caught her hesitation and knew it was untrue. As much as he wanted to say something about it he knew that she wouldn't say what was on her mind unless she wanted to.
"Oh, ok then. If you need me, or you want to talk I'm here for you." Elrond turned to leave when Nuquer called to him,
"Elrond, uh.I- thanks." Nuquer stuttered and looked down.
"Any.time" Elrond gave her an inquisitive look and left her standing in her door.
What was I thinking?! I want to tell him but what would he say!?
Nuquer closed her door and decided it was best she remained in her room for dinner.

Ven and Maik were waiting outside Melde's door as she grabbed her shoes and ran out the door.
"Sorry!" Melde smiled and the three took off down the hall.
"So, this Waenmetiel person, is she nice?" Melde asked as the three hurried to the dinner area.
"She seem nice but, sometimes it seems kind of fake. It's weird." Maik said and the three quieted as they entered the hall.
Elladan waved the three girls over to them.
"You know, that Legolas is pretty cute!" Melde whispered to Maik.
Maik laughed and nodded.
"I have my eye on Elladan though! Shhh, don't say anything!" Maik whispered back.
Maik had forgotten Melde's friendly personality. She seemed to make everyone around open up as thought they had known each other a lifetime. Very few men or elves had spirit like that but Melde could make in the most ornery person feel like they had just met up with an old friend.
"Ah, Melde, you have finally arrived! Good to see you after all these years!" Elrond came over to say hello to Melde whom he had met a few times before when she was much younger.
"Lord Elrond! I haven't seen you since I was two hundred! It's been far to long!" Melde gave him a warm hug and a quick kiss on the cheek.
"You must be nearly four hundred and twenty now, am I right?" Elrond smiled jovially back at her, his mood improving at her presence.
"Elrond, come on now! You should know I'm only four-fifteen!" Melde joked and sat as Elrond pulled her chair out for her.
"Well, you are getting old!" Elrond patted her shoulder and turned to the rest.
"You better watch this one, she'll ruin even the most horrendous worst mood!" Elrond pointed at Melde and winked. He laughed with the rest and left to see to his other guests.
"Well, Melde, that over there is Waenmetiel." Elrohir pointed as the beautiful Waenmetiel made her presence known in the dining area. Many of the male elves' heads turned as she made her way to the front of the table where her seat as the guest of Elrond was.
"Well, she's a looker." Melde turned back to the grouped and raised her eyebrows.
"Well, that was unexpected." Legolas coughed as his drink almost came back out of his mouth.
"I try." Melde smiled and took a sip of her own drink, "I doubt Nuquer would turn so cold just because of a pretty she-elf though. Credit, she does get jealous-"
"I know that all to well." Legolas shook his head at the memory of the earlier feasts.
"Yes, but unless you and Waenmetiel actually did anything together then Nuquer shouldn't be so.how should I say.pissy?" Melde frowned.
"I like you. Your funny." Elladan confirmed.
"Well thank you, whatever twin you are, I truly feel welcomed now!" Melde gave him a friendly smile.
"I'd be Elladan. The quiet one is Elrohir." Elladan pointed to his brother who was off in his own world as he stared at Ven.
"Ok, got that." Melde noted.
"What do you think it is then?" Legolas asked.
"I'm not sure. Where is that girl anyways?!" Melde looked around for her friend.
"She hasn't been coming to dinner either." Ven added.
"Ok, she's starving herself also! What next?!" Melde threw her hands up in exasperation.
"Who knows, go and talk to her after dinner." Maik suggested.
"If she doesn't talk willingly, I'll beat it out of her!" Melde promised.
"Good, and slap her once for me please, because I can't!" Legolas sighed, "Though not to hard, just like a little tap."
"Oh, just give her a love tap from Legolas!" Elladan shook his head at his friend.
