RECAP: Aragorn and Arwen are out dancing now.
A little while later Faramir returned with Gimli from a conversation at another table." Are Elladan and Elrohir really Arwen's brother?" he asked Maranwe.
"Yes, " she said slightly puzzled, "Why do you ask?"
The steward wrapped his arm around Eowyn's shoulder, "Because they speak so highly of her. It hardly sounds like elder brother to me." Eowyn turned to him smiling and pressed a quick kiss to his lips.
Maranwe laughed, "Well they are her brothers. Elladan and Elrohir really care for their little sister. The three of them are very close."
"Very close indeed." A sarcastic voice spoke from behind them. Faramir, Legolas, Eowyn, Gimli and Maranwe all turned as Elladan and Elrohir approached them. They took the king and queen vacant seats, as everyone stared questionably at them.
"What are you implying by that remark?" Maranwe asked the twins, curious to hear what they had to say about the matter.
Elladan smiled, "We are implying that we are so close with our baby sister that we have a little secret that even YOU Maranwe do not know." He said poking her in the nose.
Maranwe blushed and narrowed her eyes at Elladan, "Arwen has told me everything. The only way she would of kept something from me is if you-" her green eyes sparkled with realization, "blackmailed her." She spoke slowly.
Eowyn raised an amused eyebrow, "I would much enjoy to hear this story continued."
Everyone else at the table nodded and leaned in towards the brown haired twins. Elladan smiled, "This is a wonderful little story you can all tell you grandchildren about the king and queen of Gondor, BEFORE they took the throne."
"BEFORE the War of the Ring." Elrohir added with a grin.
"Once upon a time," Elladan began, "there was a little elven princess who was in love with a mortal. And, this human loved the princess very much. However, her father did not approve of their love, but deep down he knew there was nothing he could do to stop them. So he made Estel promise that he would-," Elladan paused for a moment, trying to think of the right words; "-keep his sword in his sheath until they were wed." he spoke with an amused tone.
Maranwe burst into laughter and Eowyn flushed madly and even more so when Faramir turned her towards him and kissed her fully on the mouth.
Legolas stared at his life long friends blankly, "I am sure the Lord of Rivendell used those exact words." He spoke with a little more than sarcastic tone.
The twins smiled and continued with their story, "So years went by and Aragorn and Arwen fell even more in love and their relationship flourished. And keeping that promise became harder and harder. So this tale my friends is about a conflict the two lovers had."
Elladan nodded, "A conflict of honor." Taking a breath he said, "It's a lover's frustration you might say, you are ready to fully consummate in your relationship but there is that barrier keeping you from breaking your word."
"Well one night," Elrohir began, "Elladan and I were walking through the woods trying to find some lost arrows and we happened to intrude on a rather intimate moment between our sister and Estel." Seeing the shocked faces on the people around then the twins smiled.
"Not THAT intimate." Elladan said with a laugh, "But just enough so we could tease them. Therefore, we trotted by and tormented Aragorn that he was losing his nerve. We never thought he would take it literally! Nevertheless, we had a good laugh teasing them that is for sure."
FLASHBACK
"Well, it seems someone had been very naughty." Elladan spoke, amused.
The two young lovers sprang apart like scared rabbits. They jerked their heads towards the voices as they saw the twins emerge from the forest's edge. Aragorn breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh thank the Valar it was only you two. I though for sure it was Elrond, about to kill me for what I was doing-"
"Wait a minute, what were you doing?" Elrohir interrupted.
"We only saw the two of you kissing, but we weren't aware that you were to be participating in OTHER activities." Elladan added, making a face.
"We weren't doing that at all!" Arwen protested
END FLASHBACK
Maranwe hid her face in shame, "I thought I was the only one that teased Arwen so terribly."
Elladan smiled, "From what we gathered later from our sister, they apparently had a little argument after we left. We felt terrible that we were the cause, but we knew that the two of them would be in love all over again within a day.
Eowyn stared at the twins shocked, "I have never heard that Aragorn and Arwen have had a fight before!"
Elladan smiled, "They haven't really, this was just a minor disagreement, we are not sure what the reason was about fully though."
Elrohir smiled, "But as we were saying, the next morning our father informed us that there was to be party that night in honor of Estel's' safe return from doing—whatever rangers do."
Elladan then took over, "We went to go find Arwen to inform her, but we couldn't find her anywhere. We ended up waiting outside her room for the longest time, but we being impatient elves gave up and went off to find Estel instead."
"As we headed towards his room we were stopped dead in our tracks at the sight we saw!" Elrohir spoke, over dramatizing the entire thing with exuberant hand motions. Faramir gave him a wary look and discreetly slid the elf's wine goblet to the other side of the table. Eomer was not the only one who had had too much wine this evening.
"What did you see?" Eowyn asked, eyes wide with anticipation, whether this was a true story or one that the twins had made-up to entertain the guests, it did not matter to her.
"We saw-"
FLASHBACK
The twins raced into the corridor that held Estel's bedroom, only to find Aragorn and Arwen leaving his room hand in hand, the biggest, giddy smiles on their faces.
The twin's mouths dropped to the floor. "She wouldn't?" Elrohir stated.
"She would." His brother finished.
"They didn't?"
"They did."
END FLASHBACK
The table burst out into laughter. "There is no way!" Maranwe cried, "Arwen would have told me FOR SURE if her and Aragorn had—had—fully consummated before they were wed!" her face turned red with embarrassment.
Legolas laughed lightly, "Now I know that that cannot be true. Aragorn keeps his word, he promised Elrond he would—keep his sword in his sheath." He grinned at the strange way of putting it, "And therefore Aragorn will keep that promise---until tonight."
The rest of the table blushed uncomfortably and shifted in their seats. "Where are the two lovebirds anyway? "Faramir asked, "Did they really take Eomer's advice and leave early? One would think they would say goodnight to us in the least." Faramir said, looking around trying to spot the new couple.
Elrohir shrugged, which was a graceful act, even from an elf like himself, "But back to the story." He said.
"We were absolutely appalled that Aragorn broke his promise to our father, so unbeknownst to him, we followed the two of them waiting for a proper time to question Estel's actions."
"Luckily for us," Elrohir said, "we didn't have to wait for long. Gilrean, Aragorn's mother came by soon after requesting Arwen's help on party plans."
Elladan smiled, "That woman was perhaps of on the nicest people I have ever met, Valar rest her soul." The twins, Legolas and Maranwe made the sign for peace on their chest, out of respect for those who could not be here today.
"So we took this opportunity to ask Estel a few questions."
"Simple, innocent questions."
FLASHBACK
The twins pounced on Aragorn, pinning him to the ground below. "Aragorn Elessar!! How dare you engage in THOSE activities before me!!" Elladan started.
"Now you have to share every detail!" Elrohir spoke.
"Even the most minuscule!" Elladan agreed.
"Wait a minute—"
"That's our SISTER!"
"Don't tell us a bloody thing!"
"We're going to kill you!"
END FLASHBACK
The table was pulled from their laughter as a strong voice roared.
"Elladan!! Elrohir!! WHAT in Middle Earth are you talking about!?"
