Drunken Escapades
Aragorn and Arwen stood with the Rivendell Lord that had arrived earlier that day.
"It has been along time since I have seen my daughter," Elrond said, sipping his drink. "I blame you," he told Aragorn, but with a look of amusement on his face.
Aragorn smirked at his father in law and Arwen laughed beside him. "I would like to meet this elf that we are honouring," he continued. "I have heard many things about her."
"I bet you haven't heard that she is Legolas' assassin though," Aragorn smiled, getting an amazed reaction from both Elrond and Arwen.
"What?" they both said together.
Aragorn laughed and the nodded. "It is true. Who ever thought that the Prince would fall in love with his assassin?"
Both looked even more amazed if that was possible. "He is in love with her?" Elrond gasped.
The ranger nodded. "Apparently, according to Gimli, it took a while for them to admit it to each other, but they fight like they are already married!"
"Hmm," Elrond smiled, his heart lightened by the fact that love had been found amongst turmoil. "Now I really want to meet this lady."
"Well," Aragorn said, looking over to the door of the hall. "You shan't have long to wait. Here she comes now."
Elrond and Arwen turned to look in the direction that Aragorn was looking and were momentarily lost for words at the beauty of the elven maiden that had just entered the room. Her long dark curls hung loose down her partly bare back. The dress she wore was red and floated around her feet as she moved. The corset was strapless and lined with lace, and tiny embroidered flowers adorned the material of the dress. The material clung like a second skin to the delicious curves of her body and then flared out at her upper thighs. Her emerald eyes were darkened further by kohl and her lips matched the colour of the dress. The transformation from assassin to maiden was clear.
"That's Elimay?" Elrond murmured, having never seen her before. Aragorn nodded and motioned to her when he caught her eye. She glided over, totally oblivious to the fact that she was turning heads.
"Good evening," she said, as she came up to the company. Elrond bowed his head and kissed her hand, much to her delight. "My lady, I am Elrond of Rivendell."
"It is an honour to meet you. I have always wanted to visit Rivendell though my many travels have not taken me that far yet." "You are welcome to visit at any time. It would be a delight to have you come and stay," Elrond said.
Elimay smiled and flicked her hair back over her shoulder, which was a habit of hers. "Thank you."
"Do you plan to dance tonight?" Arwen asked.
Elimay nodded and then smiled. "I also plan to get drunk."
All three present laughed at her confession and Elrond handed her a drink from the table. "One to get you started," he said.
"Thank you. I must leave you to find my family. Lissy disappeared when I entered the hall," she said, looking round the hall. "I will hopefully see you later in the evening."
All three bowed and then she left them.
"It is hard to see her as an assassin," Elrond admitted, "But it is easy to see why Legolas loves her. There is such emotion in her eyes that you want to know her."
Aragorn nodded and watched the elf disappear into the crowd.
The moment Legolas saw Elimay; he found it very hard to stand. The sight of her was enough to make him just grab her and ravish her until there was no breath left in his body. But seeing as the hall was nearly full to bursting with people, it would have been a bad idea. Gimli grunted beside him and nodded his approval. "Now don't you feel glad that she is now yours," the dwarf said, knowing that Haldir had been in line but was now out of the question.
Legolas found himself nodding even though he still hated to admit to the dwarf that he had been right all along. Through the throngs of people, he could see the maiden in question with her sister. They were both laughing and dancing to the music and he noticed with annoyance, that Elimay held a glass of wine in her hand. He would soon see to that.
He strode through the crowds and finally found himself beside her. She smiled up at him but then frowned when he took the glass from her hand. The incident was immediately forgotten however, when she saw how amazingly handsome he looked. He wore a silver tunic that fitted so well that she could see the shape of his muscles beneath the material. His hair was neatly braided in a new fashion to how he usually wore it, and it made his eyes look darker. Once again she found herself thinking, as she had been doing so often, how she had ever even thought about killing this breathtaking creature.
"Good evening, Legolas," Lissy said, interrupting her gaze of admiration. She had not been drinking and so her sober mind did not miss the slight sway that her sister gave. She quickly took her arm, smiling innocently to disguise the fact that she was slightly tipsy. The prince wouldn't like to know how much she had already had.
"Good evening, Lissy," Legolas said, bowing to her.
"I will take that," she said, taking the glass from his hand and veering off into the crowd before Elimay could snatch it back.
Legolas broke their stare by leaning down to kiss her cheek. When he withdrew she looked disappointed. "Is that all I get?" she asked.
He grinned and leaned down for a full on kiss that sent his stomach fluttering. He let his fingers trace her spine down the bare bit of her back and the feeling of her skin was wonderful. His tongue slipped in to her open mouth and she sighed, her head spinning slightly from the drink and from the feelings he was giving her.
Suddenly though, she grinned against his mouth and withdrew, with a sound of protest from him. "Dance with me, melamin."
He grabbed her hand and spun her round, making her almost fall with the force of it. He caught her other hand and weaved his fingers with hers, bringing her close to his chest. He then released his hands and put them on her waist to find with delight that she was moving with the music, her hips moving from side to side. She turned round to push her back against him and let his hands move round to rest on her stomach. He fluttered kisses up her neck but she moved away before his lips reached her ear, just to tease him. She turned to face him again and smiled as she pulled her arms round his neck, stroking his skin mischievously with her fingers, reaching beneath his collar.
Their flirting, however, was interrupted by a loud voice telling everyone that the meal was ready. Legolas heaved a frustrated sigh and took her hand, leading her to the tables.
Elimay had now consumed a very large amount of alcohol and was feeling the effects. They were coming to the end of the meal and she uncouthly burped then giggled.
Lissy looked at her sister from across the table. "Eli, are you drunk?"
Elimay shook her head a bit too much and nearly overbalanced herself in her chair, only to be saved by Legolas, who sat beside her. Unfortunately for him, he had not been able to keep an eye on how much she had been drinking for he had been subjected to a long heated conversation with Elrond, who sat on his other side.
"Haldir," Elimay pondered, her words slightly slurred.
The March warden who sat next to her turned his head to observe her. "Yes Elimay?"
"Don't you think Legolas is sexy?"
Haldir looked very alarmed and Lissy burst out laughing. "Um..." he stuttered.
"I just want to..." Her words were cut short to save further embarrassment, by Legolas' hand clamped over her mouth. Her eyes widened and she tried to wrench his hand from her lips.
"I will remove my hand if you promise to say nothing of... of what you wish to do," he told her, embarrassed at her questioning of what Haldir thought of him.
She mutely nodded and felt his hand leave her mouth. "Maybe you don't," she told Haldir and he gave a weak smile. "You know what I think?"
Haldir didn't really know if he wanted to know, but asked anyway.
"I think you and my sister would be good together."
Haldir looked slightly relieved that it wasn't anything more about how sexy Legolas was, but was still embarrassed. "Um, do you?"
She nodded enthusiastically. "Yes. Have you talked to her?"
"Not properly, no."
She looked across to Gimli who was sat beside Lissy and called out to him. "Gimli, will you swap places with Haldir? He wants to talk to my sister."
Gimli looked across the table and seemed mildly amused at Elimay's drunken state and the look of embarrassment on the March Warden's face. "Why, of course!" he grinned.
"Go on Haldir!" Elimay said, pushing him to his feet. "She doesn't bite."
Lissy was apparently oblivious to her sister's matchmaking attempts and only realised the change when Haldir had sat beside her somewhat hesitantly and cleared his throat.
"Are you enjoying your meal my lady?" he asked.
She smiled and nodded.
Elimay was pleased with her attempts and turned her attention to Legolas who was talking to Elrond again. She boldly reached beneath the table and put her hand on his thigh, making him squeak in mid-sentence. Elrond looked taken aback having not seen what Elimay was doing. The next moment there was a loud thump and both turned to see that Elimay had fallen off her chair and now lay laughing at the top of her voice from the floor. Thankfully, people had begun to rise from the tables to dance and so the incident wasn't noticed as much as if everyone had still been at the tables.
There was a deep voice above Elimay and she looked up to see with delight that Gandalf was smiling down at her. "I see that you are much better," he laughed, helping her to her feet.
"I'm glad you think so, because no one else does," she told him, hugging him and then gripping onto Legolas' shoulder to keep from falling again.
"You look very beautiful tonight," he said.
"Thank you, Gandalf," she blushed. "Would you like a seat?" she asked, offering hers.
"Where are you going to sit?"
"I think I am going for a walk," she said, giving him her chair and then swerving off in the direction of the doors. Legolas immediately jumped up from his seat to go and rescue her.
"They make a sweet couple don't you think?" Gimli said.
Gandalf smiled and nodded.
