Chapter 2
Haldir held out his hand and Banwen took it. She wanted to sit and observe everything that was going on. Haldir led her out to the dance floor. The song was a slow song with a sweet melody. Haldir placed his right hand on her hip and his left hand with her right hand and her right hand on Haldir's shoulder. Haldir led them to the beat of the music.
"I assume that other people want to dance with you," said Haldir breaking the silence between the two of them.
"And I assume that other ladies want to dance with you as well," responded Banwen.
"I doubt," said Haldir as he twirled her.
When she came back from the twirl she said,
"Why do you doubt?"
"I do not," Haldir said defensively.
"You just did!" said Banwen smiling at him.
Haldir shook his head because he knew that she was right. The song came to a part where Haldir could dip Banwen so he took the chance. Banwen was sure that he wouldn't drop her. She smiled at him as she came back up and said,
"I need to find you a wife."
Haldir chuckled and said,
"Where did this come from?"
"Nowhere, I just don't know why you aren't married," said Banwen.
"Why? I'm not in any rush," said Haldir.
"I know, but you have been around longer than I have," commented Banwen.
"That doesn't make a difference," said Haldir.
"I know, it would be fun," exclaimed Banwen as the song ended.
Haldir and Banwen let go of each other and Haldir said,
"Would it be as much fun as this party?"
"No...this party is much more fun," said Banwen.
Banwen watched as Haldir left the dance floor. Just then there was a tap on her shoulder. Banwen turned around and saw that it was the king of Mirkwood, King Thranduil! He bowed and offered his hand and asked,
"Would you like to dance?"
Banwen bowed as she was supposed to and said,
"I would love to."
The king was dressed in a sort of mellow green silk tunic with dark green leggings and, of coarse, the boots. His hair was long and blond, it probably only went past his shoulders. Like most male elves, he had two little pieces of hair in front of his ear braided. He had light blue eyes and didn't look a day over twenty-five years of age, even though he is around 4,200.
The king escorted her out to the dance floor and they started to dance to the song.
The song was not one of Banwen's favorites but she went along with it anyway. The king was skilled at dancing and he did a lot of twist and turns and he even dipped her once.
"Are you enjoying the party?" asked the king.
"Of course your highness," responded Banwen.
"No need for titles. This is your party after all," said the king.
In the distance the king's sons were watching him dance with Banwen.
"Is she supposedly the guest of honor?" asked Calid, the second oldest.
"Yes Calid, she is," responded Kalinm, the oldest.
"She looks incredible," said Calid.
Kalinm turned to look at Calid and saw that he was melting away just looking at her.
"Calid, you haven't even met her and you look like you're in love already! What would your girlfriend say?" reminded Kalinm.
"Oh yes," said Calid looking down when he remembered that he had a girlfriend back in Mirkwood.
"Well now, that only leaves you and Legolas," said Calid. " Where is Legolas?"
"You lost him again?" sighed Kalinm.
"He is old enough to take care of himself," reminded Calid.
"You're right. He's probably talking to Haldir or some of his friends," reassured Kalinm.
Sure enough Legolas was talking to Haldir. They were over by the food table.
"What have you been up to in Mirkwood?" asked Haldir.
"Spiders, she-elves chasing my brothers and I. Nothing new," responded Legolas. "Why aren't you out guarding the boarders like you're supposed to?"
"The guest of honor is one of my friends," said Haldir.
"Does the 'guest of honor' have a name?" asked Legolas.
"Banwen."
Legolas looked around for her. He had seen her when she came down the stairs with Haldir. He looked around for her on the dance floor. He then spotted her with his father.
"She's dancing with my father," said Legolas.
"Knowing many people in Lorien, she'll most likely dance all night," assumed Haldir.
A/N I know, the long awaited second chapter. I know most of you most likely are so happy that I finally updated, especially Terri. She is the co- writer person who has been badgering me to update every single story I'm writing at the moment. Some of the reviewers are mean with the reviews. I take constructive criticism, but when you hate it, common sense would tell you to stop reading it! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Well, REVIEW!! And remember... NO FLAMES.
