Chapter IV: A Secret Revealed
Around two weeks before the Fellowship was to depart from Rivendell, they decided to kill some time by going to the practice courts. As they approached, they heard the sound of clashing metal and decided to take a look. What they saw surprised them greatly. The armsmaster was in the middle of a practice bout with a young girl!
"You've been practicing," he said.
"If course I have. I can't let you beat me again, now can I?" the girl replied with a smirk. With a yell she twisted her blade like a snake around his and sent his sword flying. "Lle lava?" ( Do you yield?)
He nodded. "Amin lava." (I yield)
She was instantly alerted to the sound of applause.
"Very well done," said Aragorn with a grin. "How long did it take you to learn that?"
:Let's see.I got here on about October 27th.I started that day.it's the 11th of December today. That makes it about a month and a half."
"Are you as good with a bow?" Legolas wanted to know. (A.N. ACK! It rhymes!)
"Not quite," Kelsey replied, picking up her bow and a single arrow. "I'm not too bad though." She aimed and fired at the target. The arrow buried itself just outside the bull's eye. "My shooting is still somewhat inconsistent though."
"Well, will wonder never cease," Boromir commented. "The girl can fight after all."
Within the next week, they all became close friends. Kelsey also got along extremely well with Arwen and Bilbo. They could often be found on a balcony somewhere chatting about random things.
"I would love to write this all down," she told Bilbo one day. "But my writing skill still leave a lot to be desired."
Two days later, there was to be a large party to celebrate the departure of the Fellowship. Kelsey did have a sneaking suspicion that the seating plan was rigged. It was just the other day that she had told Arwen that she liked Legolas, and here she was seated right beside him!
Tonight she wore a dress that was almost a perfect match for her Halloween costume from that year. The dress was a silver sleeveless under gown under a long, flowy, sheer, white overlay and was tied by a white ribbon at the waist. She was happy to note that the neckline, although pretty low, was not dangerously so. A silver pendant and circlet topped the ensemble off.
"Lle maa vanima," Legolas whispered from beside her. (You look beautiful.)
Kelsey blushed deep crimson. "You look fantastic too. If you were back where I come from, you would be surrounded by screaming fan girls." Legolas blushed slightly.
After the feast was finished, the musicians began to play some sort of waltz-type-thing.
"Lle merna salk?" Legolas asked. ( Do you want to dance?)
The girl blushed an even deeper crimson. "I would love too, but I don't know any dances from here and I don't want to make a fool of myself."
"I will teach you," the elf offered.
She grinned. "In that case, I accept." No argument needed there.;)
So he led her out onto the dance floor and began to review the steps. Most of the dances seemed to be varieties on the waltz, so they were not that difficult. In fact, his partner was quite a graceful dancer. Possibly because she had taken dance lessond for so long and had just gotten her point shoes.
she thought blissfully.
Meanwhile, Arwen watched the whole scene unfold with a small smirk on her face.
Aragorn noticed the mischievous look on his love's face. "What amuses you so?" She just smiled and jerked her head in their direction. Aragorn caught on quickly. "Ah."
Soon the song ended. "I did not know anyone could dance so gracefully," Legolas commented.
"It's nothing. I've just always enjoyed dancing and have taken lessons for a few years now," she replied, going red.
Then Arwen and Aragorn came up to them. "Nice to see you two getting along so well." Aragorn commented. Arwen tried very hard not to burst out into giggles.
"Oh yes. He's a good dancer." Kelsey replied. "Arwen, could I ask you something?" Arwen nodded and the two female elves headed out to the balcony. "That was so rigged."
"What do you mean?" Arwen asked innocently.
"Ha ha. Very funny."
"But I thought you would enjoy that."
"You have no idea how much I did."
KDK: Was that a bit ooc? Ah well. Hopefully it will get better. Please review!
