Imbefaniel: They certainly do: big time!
Ch 14 Revenge-Elrond
Elrond called Glorfindel and Estel into his study. "I've given some thought as to how to get back at those three. At first, I was thinking of just getting back at them just one time. However, I believe it might be better if all three of us got revenge-one at a time."
Glorfindel looked at Elrond and saw something he hadn't seen for some time-an Elrond who had put aside the cares and worries he habitually carried with him. This was the Elrond he had missed. He mentally gave himself a shake, and said, "I like that idea. Who goes first?" Estel replied, "Why don't you go first, Ada? I would like to be last."
"I believe that would most appropriate, since you are the host." Glorfindel and Estel smothered a laugh. Elrond bowed to the other two elves, and with a twinkle said, "I had better get busy, then. Oh, if you two don't mind, I am including you both in this."
Both Glorfindel and Estel bowed to Elrond. "Of course, you may count on us, O Lord of Imradlis," intoned Estel in his most officious voice. Both Glorfindel and Elrond were just taking a sip of ale, and started to choke and laugh at the same time.
After they caught their breath, Elrond told them his plan. "Do you want me to tell anyone else about this? I'm sure there are others that love to participate," said Estel. "I never thought of that," responded Elrond. "Yes, it would work better. Let everyone know they don't have to do it, but if they wish, they would be most welcome. I think it will be done at dinner." All three left to go their separate ways.
The bell rang for dinner. As the elves filed into the hall, Elrond sent Estel to bring the twins and Legolas to dinner. At first, none of the three wanted to get out of bed. "I wouldn't try Ada's patience any more than you've done already," warned Estel as he woke his brothers. He made sure they were up, and then went to wake Legolas. Estel didn't have any problem waking the Mirkwood Prince, as he was hungry. "I'll meet you in the dining hall," said Estel.
Estel watched as the three elves made their way to the hall. He then entered his room to dress for his part of his father's plan. He could hear Glorfindel's whistling as he also dressed for his part in the plan. They met each other as they entered the hallway. As soon as they saw each other, they had to go into Elrond's study and laugh hysterically. After they finally managed to gain control over their mirth, they left the study. They just knew this would work. They couldn't wait to see the expressions on the faces of a certain pair of twins, and a prince.
As they turned the corner, they met with Fildor. All three started to snicker. "My, my! Aren't we the most beautiful maidens you've ever seen?" snickered Fildor. Glorfindel replied, with a toss of his head, "Two of us are. I'm not sure about the third one." Estel and Fildor looked at each other. Which one did he mean?
