Ch 3
"Alright, alright," he said. " I surrender. I remember. You were very spiteful when you were younger."
"I was NOT," Niromiel replied. She and Legolas were walking up to Elrond's office now. "I believe," she said, "that his lordship wants to see you. I'll see you later." She started laughing. "What' so funny?" her dear friend asked. "I've just had a wonderful flashback to a time long ago," she said. "Go see Elrond. I must leave before my rib cracks. It's too funny." "You'll have to tell me later." "If I can regain my breath, my friend. I'll see you at dinner I hope." "As do I. See you then, Niromiel." Niromiel went down the hall to her chambers, laughing to herself and feeling giddy. She past her father as he headed to Elrond's office. "What devilry has come into you?" he asked. "You laugh so loud, that- just be a little quieter, please." "I'm sorry father," Niromiel answered, and went on. At evening, she got dressed for dinner, and skipped down the stairs to the dining hall. She took her seat near the head of the table, across from her mother, and next to Lord Elrond. More elves began to arrive. "Mind if I sit here?" a voice asked. Legolas. "Not at all," Niromiel answered, looking up, giving a quizzical smile. "I'm sure we have much to talk about and many stories to exchange. How about after supper? Would you like to go on a walk or sit down and talk in the library?" "That sounds wonderful. I have had quite a few flashback worth sharing during the course of this afternoon, mellon," Niromiel said. "As have I," Leoglas said, and then whispered, "for I'm sure I was not expected to pay any attention at the meeting with the lords, after all. I have had a few memories opened myself." Niromiel laughed. "We were very rambunctious as children, weren't we?" "I'm sure your parents and all of Rivendell know that as well as you and I?" "Oh, I'm quite sure." Everyone else arrived, and the leves set to dining. It was a wonderful meal, bringing back many memories for Legolas. When he eyed the dessert, he stifled a snort. "What's so funny?" Niromiel asked. "I shall tell you later," Legolas said. "but I must not talk for a while. Or my rib may crack." "That's my line. and my rib WAS about to crack. You'll have to tell me what was so funny." "I will. Uma, uma. You never were patient." "You were always stubborn." Legolas sighed. "We'll talk after dinner." They rushed to finish their meals, paying attention to try and at least NOT look like pigs that hadn't eaten in years.
