Chapter Three

"We're leavin' for Silverymoon in a few days ye drow." Bruenor looked at the dark elf that was standing in his office rooms, looking at the invitation. The ranger smiled as he looked at the denial of the use of something that would have been convenient.

"You refused the use of one of her fiery chariots?" Drizzt said slowly, a small smile on his face. He sighed as the dwarf glared promptly at him. "It would have saved a lot of trouble if we had, especially with Wulfgar's family in-tow."

"We won't be needin' one of them damned carriages," the dwarf responded, looking down at the map closely. "They're too much trouble. Besides, its better to be on the long road anyway."

"I'll have to agree with you on that my friend." Drizzt chuckled, looking again at his close friend. "Or, maybe the reason that you don't want to use one is the fact that you have yet to figure out how to drive one of them."

"That be none o' yer business." Bruenor fumed, promptly glaring at Drizzt. "And that's not the reason we're not usin' one anyway. Now, why don't ye start packin', and tell Catti-brie to start packin' her things also."

"Alright." Drizzt smiled as he walked out the door. "If you say so, my friend."

* * * * *

"Come in," she called as she sat up, from where she had been lying on her bed, still fairly weary from her ride from her visit with Delly and Colson. Wulfgar had been with the barbarians, for reasons that she didn't know.

"Well, this is the last place I expected to find you." She looked in surprised as Drizzt gave her a strange smile, leaning against the door frame of her room. "We're going to be leaving for Silverymoon in a few days." At her curious look, the ranger of Mielikke explained. "Apparently there is a banquet and Alustriel has proclaimed me a guest of honor, though I have no idea why."

Catti-brie smiled and looked at the person she had known for so long. "I'd be thinkin' that ye do know why ye're gettin' that honor, and ye're just too embarressed to be tellin' us about it."

A blush found its way across his face, and he was glad that his dark skin hid it. He actually didn't have any idea why the Lady of Silverymoon was giving him such a high honor. "Cat, I have absolutely no idea why she is doing this for me."

Shaking her head, Catti-brie smiled and walked over to stand in front of the elf that she had traveled with over the Sea of Swords with for six years. She looked into his lavender eyes, seeing that they were glazed, as he was deep in thought. She lightly touched his arm, leaning closer to him as she spoke softly.

"I'll be thinkin' that ye do know, and ye just don't realize it for yerself yet." Kissing his warm cheek, she walked out the door and down the hallway to Regis's room.

Clearly almost completely stunned by the actions of Catti-brie, Drizzt walked to his room, lightly touching where she had kissed him. As he continued walking, he didn't realize that his blush had deepened and was now clearly visible.

* * * * *

Far away, closer to Silverymoon, but still near a mountain range, there was someone that was waiting for the Companions of the Hall. The once red-haired man nodded the ones helping him in his plans.

"So," he smirked, his hand stroking the head of his old dog. "You know when that damned elf is going to be coming through here? You know what the plan is then?"

The small band of dark elves nodded. The one in the center, apparently their leader, smiling with an evil light in his glowing red eyes.

"Of course we know what to do." His smile was wicked as he pulled the carefully poisoned whip from his belt. "Anything to get back at Drizzt Do'Urden for such humiliation while we attended the Melee Magthere. I can't wait to hear his screams."

He laughed at the confused look on the large human's face. His infrared seeing eyes glittered as he thought of what he would be doing to the age-old enemy.

"But remember," the human continued," I get my share of damage to that did such horrid things to me."

"Don't worry, human," the small, un-housed rogue smiled. "You will get your chance for revenge, just as I will get mine."

--Oooooh, but you weren't expecting that. **grins evilly** short chappie. I'll give a cyber treat to whoever guesses whose after poor Drizzt!! R/R!!
