Yes, I know this took long and I really don't know when there comes the
next surge of writing-energy that makes me update at least once a week.
------------------------------------------------------------~*~------------- ---------------------------------------------------
glorfindel is already waiting for us when we come back and he is tapping his foot again. I begin to believe that the tapping comes from sub consciousness spasms . He seems mighty surprised to see haldir here, too, all wet and still deliriously happy and not at all surprised to see me with the usual dumb smile on my face even though he was mean to me.
'legolas ! I want to see you in my office RIGHT NOW !' All his golden- blonde hair is standing on end and you don't have to be an expert on elvish body-language to tell that he's grouchy big time.
'Says who ?', I ask, ready to stick my tongue out if he dares to recite some wise-guy comment.
'Say I. You'll be there or you'll be sorry.' His sapphire eyes narrow dangerously.
'Is it something official ?'
'No. You know just too blessed well what I'm talking about !'
He stares up to me on the horse with dangerously narrowed eyes and doesn't even seem to think that it looks ridiculous how he stands their, arms akimbo and stopping two elves that look like drowned rats from getting into the stables. I would laugh about it but I don't think he would know how to appreciate that.
'Sorry, but then KMB .'
'What the heavens does that mean?'
'Kiss My Bu.'
'LEGOLAS !!! How dare you ? We are in public. You can't just go around saying obscenities like that.'
Obscenities, right. After a few millennia of hanging around in the world and being insulted with various 'more-than-obscenities' a good ten thousand times in the war time 'kiss my butt' would probably have knocked me off my heels, too.
'Look who's talking. Glorfindel the imp that keeps all fan fiction stories clean.' I smile at him. 'Now, would you just step outta the way ?'
'What did he do to you ?', glorfindel spits. 'He did this to you and now you don't have any respect for anybody anymore. You are worse than you were before.'
Yes, thanks a million for that complement, my heart is crying bloody tears of joy.
'He didn't do anything. Except open my eyes so I can see what I want. And what I don't want.'
Right. Very melodramatic, again, mr. greenleaf. Thank valar that I'm so eloquent.
'So what is it you want and don't want. ?', glorfindel sneers.
'What I want is somebody who loves me the way I am and treats me as an equal. What I don't want is another father who is telling me what to do all the time and expects me to obey !'
I don't have a darn clue what I'm actually talking about and I couldn't repeat it if he asked me. It sounds completely stupid to me and I have the nagging feeling that glorfindel thinks the same.
Haldir gently places a small kiss on the back of my neck, as he is sitting behind me on the horse and his arms around my hips squeeze me a little. He is grateful that I mentioned somehow that what I want is him.
'I never told you what to do !', glorfindel yells incredously. 'And . And if I would have it would have been necessary !'
'You did and it wasn't. You said you'll be fine with me being like a teen- elf but you're not and you never will be. And that's why I like to be with haldir Because he doesn't care because he knows that nobody's perfect.'
'So I was right all along. You had something with him. Why did the mirror not show it to me than ? You don't have the skill to bewitch it !'
'Don't tell me what I don't have. It's because haldir and me were no more than friends when you rushed in on us the first time.'
Glorfindel sniffles. 'Why do you think you still have to lie to me ?'
'I don't lie to you. I never did and I never will. I never so much as kissed haldir properly.'
'What could you say to make me believe you ? You hurt me, legolas greenleaf.'
'I'm sorry.' I'm not.
'You're not !'
'Yes I am .' How did he know that?
'And if you are! That doesn't do me any good !' He furrows his brow and stares at me with his most evil 'elven-lord who is used to hurt other people but not be hurt himself' face.
'Well, you know I didn't mean it. That I'm not a bad elf .'
Glorfindel sneers. 'You don't have the brains to be bad.'
That hurt. Haldir hisses behind me like an angry cat and is close to jump into glorfindel's face but I hold him back.
'Why not ? He deserves it !', whispers haldir, 'He's a jerk, an old crackpot fool of an elf !'
'Shh. He would beat you with his hands down.'
'That means you don't think I could ever protect you ?'
I have to smile against my will.
'What ?', haldir asks.
'Until a second ago I had the strange feeling that I was the one who protected YOU all the time. I already saved your life twice, so don't be cross if I stop you now. It's no offense meant.'
'What the hell are you whispering there ?', glorfindel inquires loudly.
'Nothing that would matter to you,' I say and smile at him again. 'And would your Lordship step out of our way now ?'
'No ,' says glorfindel. 'No way.'
'I'm hungry ,' whines haldir behind me.
'Did you hear that, glorfindel ? He's hungry so go away before he passes out because of starvation.'
'I couldn't care less ,' says glorfindel with the mean murder-smile that he uses on orcs and stupid teen-elves. ' I'm your ex-elf friend from hell I don't need to do what you ask me to do. Wahahaha.'
There is nothing funny I would have noticed but it might well be that I missed the punch-line again. Even though I'm rather m mad at glorfindel I'm actually afraid that he cracks his ribs laughing. It must be the laugh of desperation, there is no other explanation.
In this moment lord Elrond, my new 'world's least favourite person' since I actually kissed glorfindel comes sauntering along and looks at glorfindel in concern.
Yes, your majesty, your lord chamberlain has blown a fuse.
'What did you do to him ?', he asks and he doesn't even care to hide that he thinks this is all my fault. 'If you did something to him, I'm going to ki. excuse me, punish you very VERY severely!'
In other words he's going to kill me. Well that makes me feel a lot easier. I actually thought my life would be eternal and I would bore myself to something like a death but now I don't have to worry about that anymore. Lord Elrond will obviously be only too happy to give me an accidental nudge towards and over the balcony rail of his study.
'I didn't do anything to him. He just seems to think of something funny.'
'So I gathered. Well, kids, off you go. Don't block the damn way all the time, who do you think you are.'
Glorfindel's sounds change from manic laughter to frantic sobs and lord Elrond wiggling and pointing his index finger at me vigorously.
'Go. And if I find out that you are involved in this you will REPEND!'
Yes, okay, okay. I understood that now. But I'm not believing it anyway however violently he points his forefinger at me, am I? But somehow my happy mood subsides after this conversation even though I'm not really afraid.
Not really.
