Little elf
Chapter four
"Aye." *When did I start speaking like I was from the last century?*
Just then the musicians struck up a chord and soft elven music flowed around the room. Celeborn smiled at Elle. "Would you like to dance?" asked a voice from behind.
Elle turned "no thanks."
Haldir pouted, "What have I done to offend you?"
"Nothing, I just don't do dancing. Especially your type of dancing. Looks complicated."
"But it is rude not to except without a valid reason." Broke in Celeborn
"You'd be lucky to dance with me in Abberant. Besides it's the wrong type of music. It's completely different from the music from my home." *And I'm not even making that up*
"Will you sing some of your music to us?"
"Hell no!"
Haldir rose an eyebrow "What has hell got to do with your singing."
"It's a colloquial term from Abberant but it means that there's no way in hell you're going to get me to do what ever you're asking. In this case singing and dancing."
"You are no fun!"
"Wow, that was quick! It usually takes at least a week for people to work that out." Replied Elle sarcastically.
"But you are still beautiful."
*He thinks he can win me over with compliments? Does he think I'm a dumb blonde? Except blondes are means to have more fun aren't they? And I'm not a blonde! Well I'm not at the moment. I wonder if they have hair dye here? But where was I?*
"Princess Ellette? Are you alright?" asked a concerned Lord Celeborn
"Lady Elle." She corrected "I was just thinking of something."
"From home?" asked Celeborn gently
"Yeah, home"
"Come, I must take you to your room." Said Haldir grabbing Elle's hand
She followed abidingly, suddenly tired. "You must be tired Elle, you have been travelling for months. I'm surprised you never met anybody."
"So am i." Elle muttered fighting a yawn.
They eventually reached her talan. Elle saw a nightdress on her bed, which she picked up. She turned and smiled at Haldir "Thanks, you can go now."
Haldir snorted in a very un-elvish way. "I have to make sure you go to bed." *How old am I? Five?*
"Well, can't you stand outside and some back after I've changed?"
Haldir stood there obstinately. "Fine! I'll go and change in my bathroom!" Elle turned and walked into her bathroom.
Five minutes later she came out wearing a nightdress of a white silk like material. It was short sleeved and reached mid-calf. Elle was holding her previous clothes in her arms. Haldir immediately took them and put them in a basket.
Elle meanwhile, had attempted to take her braids out and failed as soon as she realised that she didn't know how to take the Mellorn leaf clasp out of her hair. Elle sighed in exasperation. *Is nothing easy in this world?*
Haldir made his way over to her and easily unclasped the leaf. He motioned for Elle to sit on the bed, which she did. He deftly unbraided her hair and brushed it through.
When he had finished she climbed into bed and closed her eyes. "She must be very tired. Haldir muttered to himself " Maer tinnu Good night. Elle." He kissed her forehead and left the room.
A/N First of all I'd like to take this moment and say sorry profusely for my elvish for the two words in the last sentence and for the elvish that will no doubt be forced upon my dear readers in the future.
I use the dictionary from the Sindarin dictionary project so all though I can be rest assured that the words have the right meaning the grammar of lack there of could be completely wrong, could? Is!
