How They Meet

AN: Sorry if my updating has been going slow. I've been having FCAT and will soon have to start preparing for the VICA state competition. I will do my best to write and update as much as possible.

Elrond: She's just being lazy.

Author: Fine you wanna go to Tampa Florida and participate in the Prepared Speech competition in front of a bunch of strangers?

Elrond: No Thank you. I have heard that your ' Florida' has more mosquitoes then the Midgewater Marshes

Author: Then can it Star-Dome.

Chapter 7: Proper Introductions, Lunch Time.
Elladan and Elrohir stared at up the blonde elf lord, jaw hanging open in shock. A look half of surprise and dread from the boys made Erestor wonder what was wrong.

'Grandmother found one so soon?' The thought ran through both of the boy's heads.

"Boys? Have we forgot our manners?" Erestor asked the two gaping elves.

Elrohir placed his hand to his heart. "Mae Govenn hîr Glorfindel. Welcome to Imladris."

After Elrohir elbowed him, Elladan followed suit and welcomed Glorfindel.

Glorfindel smiled and returned both boys' greetings. Then a rather uncomfortable silence fell.

The twins stared at him as if to size him up. He looked like he could be nobility, both noted, but he also had the air of a warrior.

"So." Erestor said, having enough of the stretching silence. " Did you know both boys enjoy swords?"

"I did."

Elladan stared at him, one eyebrow raised. "How did you know that?"

"Your Naneth told me."

"So Naneth has met you then."

"Yes."

'Oh no.' Erestor thought,' Interrogation time.'

Glorfindel had only been in Imladris for an hour, and not ready for an interrogation from the twins. Looking for a way to save him Erestor said." Why don't we go in for some lunch?"

That seemed to be good for everyone and they headed into the house. Erestor just sighed hoping that they could get through lunch just fine.

"Will Ada be joining us?" Elrohir asked as he took his seat next to Elladan.

"No he will not. He's going over with the servants the final preparations. The Edain will be here at the end of the week, and the trade fair will start next week." Erestor said sitting down on the opposite side of the table.

Glorfindel just stood unsure of where to sit until Erestor ushered to the seat beside him.

"Shouldn't you be helping Lord Elrond with that?" Glorfindel asked as he took his seat.

"Lord Elrond wanted me to come and supervise the meeting between you and the young masters."

"Why?"

"Because..." Piped up Elladan as he played with his napkin, waiting for lunch. "Ada is worried we'll scare you off-"

"Or Shave you bald." Said Elrohir, eyes fixed intently on the doors from the kitchen.

"Or have a wasps nest hit you in the head."

"There's also the fear that we'll tar and feather you."

"Or have all your clothing burned. Or dyed pink."

" Give you enough Vandal root to make you pass out, then tie you to a horse, and send it running off into the wild."

"Or-" Elladan started but Erestor decided that was enough.

"Boys! Perhaps we should not speak of those things."

Glorfindel just sat there trying to hold back his laughter. Some of those pranks sounded like the boys put a lot of work into them. He thought back to when he met Nárlhach. ' A bald elf.I've seen everything.'

The kitchen doors swung open and Glorfindel saw Elrohir sit up straight, his eyes fixed on something. Turning his head to the left to see Glorfindel's eye widened in dismay.

" Good afternoon hîrs nin." Mîrelena said carrying out a huge tray, which held everyone's lunch.

Glorfindel looked straight ahead to avoid eye contact to what he, at that moment dubbed.' A hormonally insane she-elf.' Then he noticed Elrohir's eyes still following Mîrelena in a somewhat dream like state, but the boy's happy appearance changed very quickly.

Glorfindel turned to find Mîrelena placing his tray in front of him; she was openly staring at him, her cheeks pink, a smile across her face.

Looking back at Elrohir Glorfindel noticed that the boy looked a mix between hurt and cross.

"Mîrelena that will be all." Erestor said dismissing the girl, un-aware of the looks she gave Glorfindel as she left. " Elrohir? Is something wrong?"

"No." Elrohir said, taking a bite of his meal." Everything's fine." His voice sounded so nice and innocent but his eyes to Glorfindel that the boy was not pleased.

' This is not good. First I have some silly she-elf stalking me and now I have one of my students looking like he's plotting my death. I'd say first impressions have gone over well.' Glorfindel thought dry and began to eat his meal.

End of Chapter 7

An: Ah.what to do next... I need to get my muse to like me again. I made him mad the other day and now inspirations are hard to come by. I have had some suggestions from friends that Glorfindel should pull a prank on the twins in later chapters, or that they should pull one on him in the Hall of Fire. Ah what to do, what to do....

Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Reviews are nice and mean a lot to me. A major confidence booster for a person who had very little confidence.
