Yes, indeed Teiya is a wanton wench, don't worry there will be trouble…heh.
Chapter 66--Angry and Scorned
Teiya woke at dawn. She was calmer then she had been, but she was still angry at what had happened. She got up and looked around and saw Legolas. She sauntered over to him. "Good morning, Legolas," she said.
"Morning," Legolas said.
"So have you seen anything that looks like breakfast this morning or do I have to go catch it myself?" Teiya asked.
"It is cooking over there," Legolas said and pointed.
"Thanks," Teiya said and headed that way. She smirked to herself. When she got there she spotted Elrond talking to two other Elves that looked like him. So you have offspring, my proud half-Elf, she thought. She went over and filled herself a plate.
Elrond looked up and their eyes met. His went cold and unfriendly.
Teiya winked at him then dropped her gaze down his body before meeting his eyes again. She was disappointed by his lack of reaction.
Elrond gave her a cool, distant smile then returned his attention to the two male Elves. After a couple minutes the three of them walked off together.
Teiya was left alone to eat breakfast and plot. After she was done she rejoined the healers. She sat next to Legolas who was winding up bandages. She began to help without speaking for a while. "Legolas, I get the feeling that you do not like me. Why is that?" she asked, laying her hand on his arm. She felt him tense slightly.
Legolas brushed her hand away. "I do not know you well enough to like or dislike you. I apologize if I seemed rude," he said.
"I suppose that is true, but we are allies and must trust each other. After all we will be working together to help the wounded," Teiya said. "I am a wonderful person once you get to know me."
Legolas smiled and turned his attention to his work. When one of the healers called him Legolas went to see what he needed gladly.
Teiya's smile dissolved the minute Legolas was out of sight. Haughty Elves, you are no better then me and I will find a way to prove it, she thought. She rose and walked off. She saw Elrond leaning against a tree gazing off into the forest and went up to him. She only took three steps when he spoke.
"I am not interested in your company, Teiya," Elrond said flatly without turning to face her.
"Come now, Elrond, there is no reason for this coldness between us. I meant no insult and I am sorry. It was just that I think you are very handsome and desirable. I am blunt with my feelings and desires. I always have been," Teiya said.
"Sometimes being blunt can be more trouble then good, like now," Elrond said. "Leave me, Teiya."
"Arrogant half-breed," Teiya growled.
Elrond turned slowly. "That phrase is an insult that I do not like. Keep it to yourself or I will demand a challenge of honor," he warned. He brushed past her, only to have her grab his arm.
"Wait a minute, Elrond, I am not finished," Teiya said.
"You might be if you do not release me," Elrond warned.
Teiya's eyes narrowed. "Are you threatening me?" she demanded.
Elrond yanked his arm free of her grasp. "Of course not, I do not make threats," he said pointedly. He walked off, leaving Teiya fuming a second time.
Legolas looked up as Elrond came up next to him. "Are you alright?" he asked. "You look upset."
Elrond smiled genuinely at the young healer. "I am fine, Legolas. Are you well?" he asked.
"Yes, do you think that Rian's army will attack soon?" Legolas mused.
"No one could say, but we will be ready if they do. There is no reason to dwell on it until it happens," Elrond said.
Legolas sighed and his shoulders slumped. "I wish this was over," he said.
Elrond gave the younger Elf a gentle hug. "We all do. Be of good heart, it will end," he said. "Now let me tell you of some of the twins and Aragorn's *adventures*" he said.
Legolas nodded and smiled gratefully at Elrond. He was glad for the distraction…..
That Teiya might be up to something, but what? R/R please!!!!
