No reviews? Makes me so sad! Oh well, I have some reviews on my other
stories. My title is heaps bad, so will welcome suggestions. Onwards!
"What in the name of Eru do you think you are doing?!" He says dropping my arm and staring at me in exasperation. Boromir is severely pissed.
"Stuff!" I fold my arms and stare coolly at him.
"Stuff?!"
"Yep. Stuff." I shrug. "The Elves annoy me, what can I say? And besides did you see the look on their faces?" I start to giggle, Boromir looking at me stone faced. Then the façade begins to crack and he starts to laugh. Frodo looks uneasily at the two of us, he probably thinks the two Big Folk have gone mad. "Do ya reckon I should sing another song?"
"No!" Frodo shouts, then looks half ashamed as I look down at him. I laugh and ruffle the hair on his head.
"Don't worry, Frodo, I have lots of songs that aren't.so explicit. Or at least prettier phrased." I look up and catch Boromir half smiling at me. "What? Frodo's my friend, and you I'm not sure about yet. Ah well, you'll be useful for one thing."
"And what's that?"
"You can teach me to fight. What do you reckon, short or long sword? I know a bit of staff work already.but I'm not fantastic at it." I hold my hands out for his inspection.
"Short probably. Or daggers. Do you know where the armory is?"
"No idea! And I'll get Legolas to teach me archery, he's an Elf."
"What makes you think you'll be around that long? Or that I will be?"
"Oh, just stuff." I smile ingeniously at him. "Frodo, do you know where the armory and practice fields are?"
"No, I haven't been here that long myself. Elladan, Elrohir or Aragorn probably know though."
"Let's go find them then!" So the three of us head off. Wandering absently through Rivendell. I keep getting these insane urges to run up to an Elf and go 'boogaboogabooga!' in their face but I repress it. Frodo would probably die of shock, and he's still weak from his wound. And he's very important. I hum instead and keep randomly changing direction and running into things. Like Boromir. Or walls. Or trees. Boromir just ignores me, which is the safest course. Meow! Which brings a whole other course of thoughts in. "Do you guys like cats?"
"They're useful." Boromir says absentmindedly, or in pain maybe because I just ran into him rather hard.
"Useful at getting rid of mice and other vermin. And a house just isn't quite homelike without a cat." Frodo agrees.
"Meow, mew, mew, meow," I start dancing oddly again; it worked last time, ok? Frodo snorts and begins to laugh. Boromir looks at me like I've gone mad, and perhaps I have. I look at him and sniff "I thought you liked cats?" then I run ahead and climb another tree. I start to pretend cry and say, "Boromir doesn't like me any more! Oh woe is me! Frodo, will you still love me, even if Boromir doesn't? I bet that the other guys round here aren't so mean! Boromir's a big fat meanie!" I laugh and stick my tongue out at Boromir, then ignore him and wail louder "Boromir doesn't love me any more! My heart, she is broken! Oh woe!" I swing my legs and suppress my laughter as I continue to mock sob.
"Cat!" I feel a hand on my leg, and I look down, pretending to wipe tears out of my eyes. It's Boromir! I sniff and ignore him disdainfully. "Will you please come down now?"
I roll my eyes and peer down. "Maybe."
"By Eru, you are the most exasperating female I've ever met!"
"Cat, please come down!" Frodo pleads.
"Nup! Not till Boromir says he still loves me." I glance down out of half slitted eyes. Boromir is turning very red. Rage or embarrassment? Embarrassment I think. Frodo's red too, and I'm sure it's because of embarrassment. I am so not a lady! I whistle slightly and swing my free leg, Boromir still holding on to the other. Some of the Elves have stopped and are staring at us with amusement. Hey, it's the twins and Aragorn! I wave. "Hey peoples!" Elladan and Elrohir wave back, Aragorn is being a stiff.
"What are you doing Cat?" Elladan asks, his mouth twisted with amusement.
"Waiting for Boromir to admit he still loves me." Boromir goes redder, if such a thing was possible. The twins snort as they try to keep back their laughter. "What, you think it is possible for a guy to look at me and not love me? If so, I am very insulted, and once Boromir apologizes and admits it, I am going to bite you!" I bare my teeth at them. "Bite!"
"Cat will you please just come down?"
"No!" I turn my face skywards and hum quietly with my arms crossed, ignoring him. Boromir sighs, and pulls me down out of the tree. I scream and fall into his arms. "Aaaaahhhh!" I knock him over backwards, and he goes 'oof!' I sit on his chest and punch him in the shoulder. "Warn me or something next time you decide to do that! Honestly, men." The twins are howling with laughter. I glare at them. "That means males of any species! And I am now going to bite you because you deserve it!" I get off Boromir who is winded and charge at the twins. Aragorn steps back, and while I feint at Elladan, Elrohir grabs me from behind, pinning my arms to my sides. "Not fair!" I kick futilely, he's lifted me off the ground because he's taller then me. Stupid Elves.
"What were you saying?" Elladan says as he steps in front of me, at a safe distance. I snap at him.
"Going to bite you! You annoying, infuriating Elves!" I yell. "Aaahhhh! Why is no one helping me? Stupid males!" I glare at Elladan. I start to thrash about, which makes Elrohir drop me on my bum. "Oof!" I get up, turn around and bite Elrohir on the hand.
"Ai! She really did it!" He clutches his hand.
"Nasty! Ew, ew, ew!" I start to spit frantically. "Don't you ever wash? Anyone have some water? Blech!" I claw at my tongue. "I'm going to die! Even Greg didn't taste that bad, and I drew blood that time. Yuck!" Everyone except for Elrohir and I are laughing uncontrollably, even Aragorn is chuckling which is probably his equivalent.
"No, he doesn't wash, at least he didn't today!" Elladan laughs. I glower at him.
"Well, I can see who's not getting any chocolate!" My eyes widen. "My chocolate! If you have flattened my chocolate, you immature, irresponsible twins, so help me god, I really will bite you!" I start to paw through my bag, where is it? Ah, there it is. It looks a bit the worse for wear, but still edible. I look up and brandish the chocolate. "Found it! Yum, chocolate." I break off a bit and start to eat it. Chocolate smears on my fingers. I thoughtfully lick them. "Well, it's melting, so it may as well be eaten. Want some?" I offer it round and everyone takes some. We eat chocolate in silence. "What time is it?" I ask.
"Late afternoon. About time to start thinking about getting ready for dinner." Aragorn says calmly. "We should find Arwen for you, she's supposed to get you ready for dinner. She'll be around somewhere."
"Ok."
Elladan and Elrohir look at each other. "We'd be happy to escort you." Elrohir offers.
"Sorry, but I think I'd be safer with Boromir or Aragorn. I don't know what it is about you, but I just don't trust you." I say dryly. They shrug. "Besides you two need to have a bath! Yuck!"
"I will escort you, Caitlyn." Aragorn says.
"Okey dokey, let's go. See you peoples later, all right?" I start to walk off with Aragorn. I wave to the others and skip ahead of Aragorn. I start to sing again, "Paranoia, paranoia, everybody's coming to get me!" Who is that by? I can't remember any more of the song then that, let alone who it is by.
"What in the name of Eru do you think you are doing?!" He says dropping my arm and staring at me in exasperation. Boromir is severely pissed.
"Stuff!" I fold my arms and stare coolly at him.
