Imbefaniel: Thought frogs were rather good idea! Always beware of whistling elves. Hehehehehe
Ch 11 Elrond's return
As Estel and Glorfindel were returning to the study, they heard hoof beats. They went to welcome the lord of Imradlis. "How did it go?" asked Glorfindel after they had greeted each other. "It was as I thought," replied Elrond. "I met the owner of the Blue Frog Inn. He had found the stream. He told me he had buried a pipe running from where he had brewed the ale to the pub. Because of the freezing and thawing of the ground, the pipe had broken. As a result, the ale came to the surface. It was this ale that Estel had seen. It has since been repaired, and precautions taken so it will not happen again."
"I hope you have not had any problems with the twins or Legolas. I believe that they would sleep." Both Estel and Glorfindel looked at Elrond with disbelief. "Where should I start, Ada?" asked Estel with a slightly wild look. Elrond was taken aback when he glanced at Glorfindel and got the same look.
Elrond sighed. He wasn't sure he wanted to hear what happened. "Go ahead. Tell me what happened," he said, with a grimace.
As the two started their recitations, there came the sound of an explosion. It sounded as if it came from the kitchen. Suddenly, all three heard Elladan yell "Rima ten'ta!" They heard what sounded like a herd of Orcs running through the halls.
Elrond, Glorfindel and Estel just looked at each other. No one moved. No one really wanted to know what trouble had been caused by three still intoxicated elves. Finally, Elrond said, "We should make sure no one was hurt." Estel and Glorfindel murmured, "We should." Still no one moved. Maybe if they didn't move, the problem might resolve itself. But then, again, maybe not.
Without a word being spoken, the three stood and started for the kitchen walking reluctantly, as slow as possible.
*Rima ten'ta! -Run for it!
