Little Elf
Chapter Twenty-One
19th Afteryule 3017
"It's not like you to say sorry,
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking." Elle sang to herself
"Can we come in?" asked Mithglin knocking on the door
"Sure." She called "We?"
Mithglin and Haldir came in, Elle inwardly groaned *I haven't worked out how to sort this mess out yet*
"Haldir will dace with you while I play the flute."
"Unless you'd like to sing for us." Said Haldir
Elle looked at him in disbelief "I can't dance." Said Mithglin
"Hardly! Your dad is head healer, of course you can dance!"
"No-"
"I've seen you dance! You are not that bad either."
"Ok, so I can dance, but not well!"
"Curukano would not allow you to dance badly. That elf is a slave driver."
"That's my father you're talking about!"
"Boys!" Elle snapped
"Sorry."
Mithglin put the flute to his lips and started to play a slow and melodious tune "lle merna salk?" do you want to dance?
"uma."
Haldir took her left hand, while placing his left hand on her waist, just above the hip. "We will start with something simple, now first to my right."
Forty minutes later they had gotten into a slow, simple rhythm, with Elle occasionally on Haldir's toes, to her own amusement (as well as Mithglins)
"I'm sorry you know." Haldir whispered
Elle looked at him questioningly "For what?"
"For why ever we aren't talking to each other. We haven't spoke in 12 days! A whole 2 weeks."
"No, it's not you it's me." Elle missed a step "dear gods I'm starting to sound like I'm dumping a boyfriend."
"I was under the thought that I was male and that I was your friend."
Elle smiled letting her head rest on his chest "No, it has a different meaning where I am from, do not worry."
"But we are still friends?"
"Of course. Now we seem to have gotten the hang of this, are we going to start something else?"
"Sure. Mithglin? How about something livelier?"
"Sure." Answered Mithglin grinning merrily. The new tune was much faster and Elle had trouble keeping up "I give up!"
"No, not now, you're doing well." Encouraged Haldir
"Only you don't have any rhythm." Said Mithglin
Elle smirked "and you do?"
"Yes"
"Then show me."
"Then show me."
"What?"
"Show me, dance with Haldir to show me how it's meant to look."
"No." said Haldir firmly
"Why?" Elle questioned
"Because…" started Haldir trailing off
"Because there will be no music!" Mithglin proclaimed
"Don't worry, I have a harp. I can play. Or are you both to insecure about your masculinity?"
Haldir looked at her sharply "What did you say?"
"You heard me."
"Mithglin come over here."
"What? Why?" Mithglin put down his flute.
"Just come." Haldir let go of Elle "I'm lead."
"No! I'm not playing the women's role.!" Mithglin exclaimed
"I knew it!"
"We can't let Elle be right." Declared Haldir
"Then let me be lead!"
"No!"
"Because…I don't know the moves for women!"
"And I do?" Mithglin deadpanned
"Well…" he trailed off
"Just because I'm a healer doesn't mean-"
"Wait, wait, hold up. You've been teaching me the dance steps, which are exactly the same as the ones you have been using. Both of you dance together NOW"
"Erm…it's time for dinner." Said Mithglin
Narrowing her eyes Elle looked between the two of them arms akimbo "You are not getting out of this, either of you" she poked them in the chest
"Tanya awra that hurt" said Mithglin
"I said you were-"
Elle poked Haldir in the side "Yee!" eek!"
"You are ticklish!" Elle squealed a glint in her eye
"Tell everyone why don't you"
"Don't worry, I will, unless of course you both dance together."
"Why should I?" Mithglin asked
"Amin verya lle. I dare you and you wouldn't back down, would you?"
"Fine." Mithglin sighed
"I'm glad to have done business with you." Elle smirked
A/n well there's another chapter and I got 10 reviews for the last chapter! Huggles to all! You're very lucky I'm 3 chapters ahead as I have writers block! Or maybe it's just I haven't had any time to write as coursework has been piling up- I haven't written in nearly two weeks! Any ways replies:
939597: Yes I did miss you, but you made up for that by reviewing a whole three times for one chapter! Edwi telling Haldir? Well that's my secret isn't it? Brainwash Edwi, never! Characters are not in witness protection, as I can't have them giving away my secrets! You for number 99, 106, 107. But I won't say anything!
SSJ Girl: How many elves? Well that really would be telling smirks I've confuddled you? Perfect! Just how I like my readers. All I need now Is a hair pin and I'm done pulls one out of hair. But…every one throw the confetti you're reviewer number 100!!
Cassie-bear01: Don't make her fall for Mithglin? Evil glint it will all pan out in the next chapter, and then the one after that will confuddled you all again! Perfect!
Hana: Seattle, Elijah Wood look-a-alike? Watch out America, I'm moving! Only j/k, only the English people have to watch out!
Sokochan: Nop Haldir is not on vacation! It's only him and Elle in the next chapter! Grins. Haldir walking in thinks yes I suppose but would have ruined plot line that I am about to set sail on, and your all coming with me! I'm better now! Maybe should take day off just in case, so I can do all coursework, nah, I'd probably just go on ff.n and then get told off severely.
Ciarolas: Good luck on your exams! Science Module on Monday, and English I think you have? I know it's defiantly Science cos I have them too! Damn revision- though not as much as you have to do! Make sure Elle gets Haldir? Hmm… I'm being enigmatic. One of the best so far? That's what I think too! It was really fun to write as well!
KindCalypso: Really nice! Yay, just what I look for!
rogue solus: Yes they're going to carry on coming as long as I am able!
Wells see you all on Friday- a Monday update is just plain impossible, I have revision and 2 pieces of coursework along with normal homework! No!!!
