OK, this is my first fic, so please be gentle in your reviewing! I'll try and improve!

Breaking The News.

The scene, Rivendell. The characters Legolas, Elven Prince of Mirkwood ( with the gorgeous bod...................sorry, got a bit distracted there ), and Arwen, holder of the light of the Evenstar ( and painfully unaware that her lover, Aragorn, decided to plummet to his doom while he was away...). Legolas must now tell her that his whole role of protecting Aragorn thing, kind of didn't work out.....

"Arwen! You're looking particularly mystical today!"

"Thank you....................what did you do?"

"Nothing!! Well that is to say I didn't actually, physically cause the..ahem....'event' that I need to talk to you about."

"What event?"

"Well, y'see Aragorn............"

"It's not another woman is it!! Damn that bitch, Eowyn! I'll do an Eomer and stick her head on a spike!!!"

"NO, It's not another woman.....oh I wish it was......"

"WHAT!!!!???"

"NO, no, it's just what I have to tell you is slightly more...........tragic.................."

"Whatever......."

"........and I'm not sure you'll handle it very well..........."

"Try me......"

"Well, y'see,..........how should I put this?.........um, Aragorn......plus warg.......plus cliff equals WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! Splat.............."

"Legolas, how about giving it to me straight?"

"OK, but you've got to promise not to do anything...........'rash', immediately,OK?"

"OK...........now tell me!"

"Aragorn got pulled of a cliff by a warg, while I was preoccupied slaying orcs."

"...........................................Legolas.............."

"Yes?"

"I will give you ten seconds to run."

"And I shall use them wisely!"
