Second Verse
~
So sorry about the delay in updates, blame school! Note to a lot of my dear reviewers: Why have so many of you complained about brunettes being left out?! What do you think Nuquer AND Flora are?! Brunettes! The only blondes around are Legolas, Thranduil, Galadriel, Glorfindel, and the few others written in the books as blondes! The brunettes aren't left out! Nuquer has the beautiful raven hair! Brunettes live on! Thank you and no offence to blondes.

Nuquer and Flora were setting out to try and brave the river for a swim before the water grew to cold in the fastly approaching fall weather.
"Oh, it's so beautiful out here." Flora looked at the calm water and the greenery that was slowly beginning to fade surrounding it.
"It is pretty." Nuquer agreed.
"Oh! And cold!" Flora had stepped into the chilly water.
"It's not bad." Nuquer joined her sister in the water.
"Yes, to you it's not so cold but to me it is." Flora pointed out.
"I thought I heard something." Nuquer turned and peered into the bushes behind her.
"You're just paranoid." Flora brushed it off and forced herself deeper into the water.

Elladan and Elrohir sat side by side on Elladan's bed talking about their time apart from each other.
"I remember when we used to fight all day." Elladan laughed now at those hard times.
"I never wanted to be around you then." Elrohir recalled.
"That didn't last long, afterwards we could hardly be parted." Elladan went on.
"I never realized how hard it would be to be apart from you for so long." Elrohir looked at this twin.
"It was hard for me as well, knowing that you weren't safe at home." Elladan looked back at his twin.
"Do you think we will ever be parted like that again?" Elrohir asked looking away.
"Not so long as I live on Middle Earth." Elladan promised.
"Promise?"
"Till the end of all times." Elladan placed his hand over his heart and Elrohir mimicked his movement.
"Until the end." Elrohir repeated.

"Legolas?" Nilhisie broke the silence that had grown between the four elves as they lay spread around the garden outside Legolas's room.
"What?" Legolas lazily answered.
"Why did I fall in love with a mortal? What is it in her that I find that I never saw in any of the elven maidens?" Nilhisie pondered.
"Imperfection. Real youth." Legolas shrugged, he didn't know.
"Is that it? Imperfection? Flora isn't perfect, that someday she will grow old and she will die, her life is but a blink for us?" Nilhisie continued on with his thoughts.
"Well, something about her made you stay for more than just a taste." Celebfaug added to the conversation.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Nilhisie sat up.
"You know what I am talking about! Every other maiden would have loved to have been with you, still be with you but you wouldn't have any of them. The next thing we all know you're with someone and a mortal none the less." Celebfaug explained.
"Well, I really like her." Nilhisie defended himself, "I like talking to her and being around her, you know? I like her for more than just looks and that kind of thing." Nilhisie explained.
"Speaking of the girls, we need to get you two some girls." Legolas looked at Losenov and Celebfaug.
"Don't think we haven't thought that." Celebfaug rolled his eyes.
"Nuquer have any more sisters?" Losenov laughed.
"What about Eregoin? You two seemed to be talking a lot at the last feast." Legolas suggested.
"Actually I was kind of thinking about her lately." Losenov admitted.
"Go for it." Nilhisie encouraged.
"All right, if I get blown off I'm blaming it wholly on you two then." Losenov acquiesced.

Bragolfin and her two consorts were wondering through the woods while Bragolfin was trying to think of some half-evil plan to win over her love's affections.
"How am I going to get rid of that tart?!" Bragolfin sighed, exasperated.
"I don't know." Tarfirith shrugged, she still wasn't quite sure if she wanted to be involved with this scheme, she liked Nuquer.
"You aren't going to do anything drastic are you?" Laithol asked worried.
"No, I'm just going to get her away from my love! I should be with Legolas and I want her gone!" Bragolfin threw a rock she was holding at a tree and it bounced off only to come back and lie and her feet, "I will start with his friends and work my way to him."
"How is that supposed to work?" Tarfirith asked skeptically.
"It will work!" Bragolfin snapped.
Tarfirith rolled her eyes and looked at Laithol who hadn't fully soaked in what was going on and probably never would.
