Chapter Three: Of Hangovers
Pippin and Merry entered the dining hall, looking very unnerved. Aragorn gave them a puzzled look. "What's wrong, hobbits?"
"We know what bondage means." Pip said, shivering.
Aragorn laughed. Arwen nudged him in the ribs.
"Now, you can't tell me you didn't do the same when I told you," she said softly, almost whispering.
"Well you have to look at it this way," Aragorn said even softer. "You didn't TELL me."
This even made the graceful Arwen blush.
Legolas and Arell were at the other end of the table, arguing about something. "I will not say it!" Legolas said. "Twould be unmanly of me."
"But with your voice you could pull it off!" Arell pointed out. "Please?" she pouted.
"NO!"
Arell put on the saddest face she could muster.
Legolas sighed. "I'm a little teapot short and stout."
Arell giggled insanely. "YAY!"
Gimli was sitting beside Legolas, trying not to laugh. "Sissy elf."
Legolas did a double take. "Wha - I didn't know YOU were sitting there!"
The dwarf smiled smugly.
At this point CeNedra walked in, her hand pressed slightly against her forehead. "Morning," she said. "I guess."
"Not happy this morning?" Pip piped up. "I obviously take my drink better."
"Look, I have a hangover and I had to explain bondage to an ignorant hobbit. Don't mess with me."
"Mary Sue."
"I don't even have the energy to care what that means." She walked to the table and took up a beer. "Perhaps some more would ease the pain."
Pip laughed. "Yeah right."
"Do you have to talk so loudly?"
"Yes. I told you that you were drinking too much."
"Would you please stop?" she said, moaning.
Pip laughed and got up from the table. "Well I'm off to cause some havoc around the castle. Care to join me, Merry?"
"But of course."
The two skipped merrily from the room.
"Bet they're gay."CeNedra muttered.
"Many slashers believe the same," said Legolas wisely.
"What's a slasher?"
"You really need to start reading fanfiction. Anyway they're cousins. And innocent. Do not judge them so hastily."
"Fine," CeNedra huffed, muttering under her breath.
Aragorn smiled. "Can't we all just get along?"
"No, then where would the story go?" asked Arell.
"Good point."
Sam idly walked from one end of the room to the other, and back again. "I wish Mr. Frodo were here."
Legolas looked to CeNedra, and whispered, "Now Sam on the other hand, is not related to Mr. Frodo, so we wonder about him sometimes."
This caused CeNedra to laugh, the first time she had done so all day.
