Imbefaniel: Yep, home..but still intoxicated! Hehehehe
Ch. 10 Alas, poor Glorfindel. I knew him well
The twins, with a lot of help from their brother, finally managed to get the room cleaned and straightened to some degree of normalcy. Glorfindel wasn't sure he really wanted to know just what Legolas was doing. Legolas had not appeared to clean the room, which wasn't like him. He could usually be counted on to give his friend some "help", although it ended with Estel asking him to leave -rather forcefully- at times.
As Glorfindel went down the hallway to his room, he noticed the Prince of Mirkwood was watching him. When Legolas saw he had Glorfindel's attention, he waved at the older elf, and continued down the hall, whistling. Now Glorfindel was definitely worried.
He stopped and thought about having Estel check his room for him. "I killed a Balrog, and returned from the Halls of Mandros. Why should I fear entering my own room? I really don't fear going in, I should just like to know what to expect. Of course, knowing the twins and Legolas, nothing would surprise me." With that thought, he resumed his walk.
As he entered his room, he thought he heard some splashing from the bathing room. "They wouldn't dare put a pond in my room!" he said out loud. "By the Valar, now I'm talking to myself." Glorfindel grabbed the knob, but wasn't certain he really wanted to enter. He turned the knob slowly and peeked around the door. He knew he was being silly, but was unable to help himself.
There didn't seem to be anything out of place at first glance. As he continued to look around, he noticed water in the bathtub. He was instantly alert. He waited for a few minutes, and then hesitantly walked over to the tub.
He looked in, and was startled to see the tub filled with…frogs!?! "LEGOLAS!" he bellowed in his loudest voice. "GET THESE FROGS OUT OF HERE… NOW!"
Estel was the first to arrive. He took one look at the frogs, and collapsed with laughter. Glorfindel glared at him. "Please find THAT ELF and have this cleaned. I'll be in your father's study. Please join me, perhaps that might be safer than our rooms."
Estel nodded, and assured his mentor that he would make sure everything would be done as requested. "I'll join you as soon as I can. Maybe we can keep those three out of any more mischief," replied Estel. Privately, he doubted this was possible, but thought it best not to say that to Glorfindel. However, Glorfindel just said "Dreamer!"
