Chapter seven
"So how do you know that this is going to work?" Gabby asked looking doubtfully at Lilly then at the small cauldron her friend was adding ingredients to. Her gaze shifter back to Lilly when her friend began to giggle more than a bit insanely.
"I don't know for sure. I only said that it should work." Lilly said once she stopped laughing. "We wont know for sure until we try it out. Go answer the door for me please." Lilly requested with out looking up from her work.
"But no one is-" Gabby was interrupted by someone knocking at Lilly's door. "there." She finished looking at her friend in amazement.
"Go. I can finish up here by myself. Just don't let anyone in. I'm almost done." Lilly said turning to grab another ingredient from her bag.
"Riiiight." Gabby said skipping to the door. "LORD ELROND!" What're you doing' here?" Gabby asked panicking.
"I am here seeking council with Lady Lillyanne. Is she here?" Elrond asked obviously already knowing that Lilly was indeed in her rooms.
"Uhhhhhh.... no LILLY is not here!" Gabby said unnecessarily loudly.
"Oh? Then why is it that she is no-where to be found and several people have told me that they last saw her entering her rooms, these very rooms. So will you please tell her that I request her presence in this hallway imidiatly to discuss a very important matter" .Lord Elrond said all of this in a rather authoritative voice.
"uhhhh....yea......LILLY!!!!" Gabby shouted into her friends rooms. "Get your ass out here!!!"
"What?!" Lilly asked annoyed from behind her best friend.
"He confuses me. You deal with him." Gabby explained walking into Lilly's rooms.
"Lord Elrond." Lilly said surprised. "Is there anything that I can help you with?" Lily asked glancing back into her rooms.
"Yes. I mearly wish to speak with you." Lord Elrond said. "Is there any where that we can speak in privet?" Lord Elrond asked.
"Umm.... would the gardens be satisfactory to you. I have never seen gardens as beautiful as the ones in your valley Lord Elrond." Lilly said trying to avoid the subject of what she was doing in her rooms.
"Yes they are quite beautiful this time of year. But I believe that we are getting a bit off of the subject." Lord Elrond said clearly amused with Lilly's change of subject.
"Right you are." Lilly said in a cheerful voice but on the inside she was chanting 'damn damn damn' complete with a little dancing mini-Lilly inside of her head. "I though that you wanted to talk to me about something."
"Yes I did." Lord Elrond said. "I believe that you said that you wanted to go to the gardens?"
"That I did." Lilly said nodding. "Lets go." With that she began walking towards the nearest exit that led to the gardens.
"What I wished you to speak to you about was Aragorn. I have noticed that for the past few days you have been trying to talk to your father. I have also noticed his childish tactics. Tomorrow the last members of the council that are not going on the quest are leaving." Lilly was confused at his sudden change of the subject until the lord of Rivendell continued. "I am having a feast in their honor, and I would be greatly pleased if you would join us at the head table, as such a person of your station should." Lord Elrond said in a manner that would suggest that they were discussing the weather.
"'My 'station'? Lilly questioned after staring at him for a few moments.
"Did you not know that you are a princess?" Lord Elrond asked Lilly blinked at Lord Elrond digesting the information that he had just told her.
"Now I do." She said simply. Continuing as though she had not just been told that she was royalty she asked. "Does Aragon know that you invited me to sit at the same table as him for this feast.?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"No." Lord Elrond said frankly. "And he will not know until you sit down tonight after him. It is very important that you sit next to him, if you wish to talk to him, and that you do not sit down before he does. If you do he could act the same way that he has been since you found that he was your father. Though I do not blame him for avoiding you. I did hear some of the things that you said about him and while I was quite shocked to hear that you have a... shall we say expensive vocabulary I ask that you do not speak like that tonight at the feast."
Lilly had the decency to blush before she spoke in her defense. "I never intended to do any of the things that I said I was going to do."
"Be that as it may I still ask that you do not speak as a human sailor does. I think that you should go and get ready for the feast it is to start in three hours time." Lord Elrond said as the two began to walk inside.
"Right. Since I am sitting at the head table does that mean that I have to wear a dress?" Lily asked making a face at the word 'dress'. "Yes you will. If you do not have anything acceptable I can have someone bring you one to wear tonight." Lord Elrond said seemingly amused at Lilly's reaction to his words.
"Damn." Lilly muttered to herself. Out loud she said "No thats quite alright I can find something to wear that will be acceptable."

"HE WHAT?!" Gabby shrieked. "He invited you to sit at he head table tonight and you actually asked him if you had to wear a dress?! Are you nuts of course you would have to wear a dress. You'll be sitting at he head table!"
"Well how was I supposed to know that I would all of the guys that sit there wear the clothes that they wear during the day, only a bit fancier." Lilly shrugged as she continued digging around in her book-bag "Where is that damn dress?" She muttered to herself in frustration. "I could have sworn that I put it in here. There it is! What do you think of this one?" She grinned and asked her friend "Do you think that it will be 'fancy' enough for the head table?"
Gabby considered the black and silver mideveal style dress that her friend was holding up. Sighing in mock defeat she said" I guess that will have to do."
"Hey!!! What's wrong with this dress?" Lilly asked entering the bathroom room but keeping the door open a bit so that she and Gabby could still speak.
"Nothing! Geesh I was only joking." Gabby said.
"Okay. How do I look?" Lilly asked exiting the bathroom and spinning around, her black skirt flaring out abit.
"My baby girl is all grown up!" Gabby said wiping a fake tear away. "You look good Lils" She said suddenly serious. "Real good."
"Thanks Gabs." Lilly said walking over and hugging her friend.
"Ready to go?" Gabby asked.
"Yea I guess so." Lilly said sighing. "I can do this."
"Yes you can. Now lets go or we'll be late!"
