Well, the last chapter was certainly interesting, wasn't it? So we go
onwards, and forwards, and proceed in a non-backwards direction type of
thing. Ha!
Note: If anyone reading this has sufficient command of Elven, please give me the translations to the Elven I use in my story. Then I'll replace and it will all be good. Cause Caitlyn don't understand Elven either!
I toss and turn all night, haunted by dreams. The scene in the movie where Boromir dies replays itself over and over. Except the actor's face is replaced by Boromir's. I wonder hazily if Orcs truly look like that, but will be glad if I never see one to test the movie's depiction. They may be worse. I wake, and rub my eyes to get rid of sleep. I yawn deeply. I move to the edge of the bed and swing my feet onto the ground. I bite back a startled scream as my feet hit the cold floors. Wood is very cold in the morning. Except for the dreams, I had a good night's sleep. That bed! I want to take it home! Drool.
Cursing, I hop from my bed to the chair where I can see my jeans and top have been laid out. I grapple with the nightdress and finally get it off. I shove my leg into my jeans' leg and gasp. Did they starch it or something? I struggle into my jeans and button them up. My bra is with my shirt, and I put them both on. My shoes are a bit harder to find, so I scout around then put them on with my socks. I jump up and down slightly. I am ready to face the day. My stomach grumbles, and amazingly my head don't hurt. I wonder where I get breakfast?
I walk down to the great hall I had dinner in last night. I hope there is food. If there wasn't, I'd just find the Hobbits. Somehow, they always have food. Or are in the process of eating food. I walk into the hall and cheer as I see Hobbits and food. "Food, yay breakfast! Hey Hobbits except for Merry!" I run over to them and serve myself some fruit from a large platter. Merry looks at me in surprise.
"What'd I do?"
"You pinched my arse, then ogled my breasts. I slapped you. And that is what happened last night." I sit and take a large bite from my apple. Merry looks shocked.
"Did I really do that?" He asks the other Hobbits.
"Yes! And oh, the look on your face! And that wasn't all you did last night." Pippin snickers.
"What did I do?" Merry implores. Frodo laughs and all three of the Hobbits tease Merry unmercifully. I smile with my mouth closed as I chew. Merry is getting very annoyed by now, so he just turns to his breakfast and starts to eat it grumpily. I finish my apple off, and put it in a bowl with other pits and cores. I sniff the air and follow my nose to where a side table stands with steaming dishes. I get a plate and load it up with bacon, eggs, sausages, mushrooms and toast. Mmmmm. I sit down and start to eat.
I listen with half an ear as the Hobbits continue to argue merrily among themselves. I wonder if they have something like coffee around here? I look up and wave at Arwen and Aragorn as they enter. They smile and wave back then go and get their breakfasts. Legolas enters after then, and then a random stream of Elves. How does he get his hair to look so good this early in the morning? Boromir! I chew rapidly and finish off the last of my breakfast. I get up and run to meet him. "Boromir! How are you this morning?" He smiles and lays an arm around my shoulders.
"Fine." I glance around the room. Arwen looks amused, Aragorn looks dumbstruck, the Hobbits are laughing and Legolas looks furious. Interesting. "So where's breakfast?"
"One clue for the future, if you're hungry then look for Hobbits. They always know where the food is. Now come on. You're slow, I've had breakfast already. There will be a meeting later. So hurry up and eat! There's lots of stuff I want to do." I chatter at him while we walk over to the tables.
I sit near the Hobbits and he gets his breakfast and sits next to me. He whispers in my ear "I missed you last night." Then he kisses the back of my neck. I can see the others tense as they wait for me to hurt him.
I turn and whisper into his ear "I missed you too, but I wasn't going to invite you in on the first night. That wouldn't be very ladylike of me." He chuckles and kisses me again on the side of my face. I giggle and lightly push him back into his seat. "Eat, then we can walk around and do stuff!" He pauses with his fork half lifted to his mouth.
His mouth quirks "Stuff?"
I nod, feeling breathless "Yeah, you know stuff. I need to know about Middle Earth. And we can walk and talk and stuff." He laughs. I hum, I feel like singing. "Well, I'm going to go back to my room. We'll meet up later. Avoid Legolas, I think he doesn't like the fact that we're sort of something." I say quietly. Then I wave at all the people, and start to walk out. I pause and yell back at Merry. "You can call me Cat again! I forgive you!" I walk out of the room and start to dance and sing. Skater Boy! Such a legend song. "He was a boy, she was a girl, can I make it any more obvious? He was a punk, she did ballet, what more can I say? He wanted her, she'd never tell, secretly she wanted him as well." Elves look at me strangely, but I ignore them. I want to have fun. And it's a not so subtle way to announce to Boromir, and others how I feel. I hear Boromir's laugh and wriggle in delight.
