Revelations followed by a Lovers Walk
Disclaimer: The title is a combo of two Buffy ep titles. It was my favorite show so sue. Or don't. Yeah don't.
After we were dismissed by Gandalf (He actually dismissed me in my own home) because he needed to think we went our separate ways for a time. Rosie and Amanda dragged the Elves upstairs for T.V. in their room, Rachel showed Frodo and Gimli the game room and Aragorn went to the back porch to think. I did the dishes slowly and finally when there was nothing else to stall me any longer I joined him. He was sitting on the steps smoking a pipe and frowning. So I joined him. For a while he did nothing more but stare. After a while, though, I grew tired of the silence and decided to break it.
"So where do you come from?" I asked quite lamely.
He turned slowly and when his eyes lighted on me they seemed to soften from the hard granite colored orbs. He faced changed instantly as he seemed to blush and smile at the same time. I responded in kind and the minutes seemed to stretch into hours. Finally he did something I was not expecting, he kissed me. Like kissed me, kissed me. I nearly died.
"I come from the White City. In the land of Gondor." He answered finally.
"Gondor? Where's that? Is it in England?" I was not thinking clearly at this time. Not that I was any good at geography.
"It is in Middle Earth. A reality different from this one. We came through a portal. Gandalf is a wizard." This he said in a rush as though he were afraid that if he didn't rush he would chicken out and not say it at all.
I thought about it for a while and decided that for better or worse I was going to believe him. Why? Because after all the strange and amazing things that happened in my life so far, this was not really so far fetched. Besides, I was falling in love. While I was debating, Aragorn was on pins and needles, so I decided to make it easy on him. I took his hand and led him into the woods for a walk. Well a walk and some kissing, and some mild groping which will not be described. Needless to say, fun was had by all.
