[ Translated Elvish ]

{ Expresses thoughts }

Have you ever found yourself in the presence of who could be considered extremely powerful, at least above you? Someone who, when you were around them, you were extremely afraid to messing up in front of and you were very nervous? Well, that's the extent of how Suzanne was feeling when she came face-to-face with Lord Elrond. She could find nothing to do but stammer.

"What is a human doing on the boarders of Imladris?"

"Well..um..umm.."

"Why were you with the hobbit, Frodo?"

"Umm..well, you see.."

"Where are Aragorn and the others?"

"Geez! Do you have to ask so many questions?!"

At this Elrond halted his string of questions and gave a confused stare, it was obvious he was not talked to in such a manner. The blond had finally overcome whatever previous fear she had with impatience and not being given the chance to answer.

"Ok, I'll start from the top. I don't know what I'm doing here, I was with Frodo so he wouldn't die, and I don't know where Aragorn is!"

Suzanne may not have known where Aragorn and Laura were, but they could tell where she was. Immediately after arriving in Rivendell, Sam and the others had rushed off to find Frodo while Laura and convinced Aragorn to find out what had happened to Suzanne.

After finding an elf that knew the whereabouts of a strange young human that was currently being questioned, they hurried away. Upon reaching the room, Aragorn threw open the doors.

It was all Laura could do to suppress a laugh. Suzanne's last exclamation was still ringing within the room and a bewildered looking Elrond was just staring at her.

"Hey Laura, what's up."

It was the only phrase that came time mind, she had to try and get away before Elrond became angry with her. She ran over to her friend and the ranger. Looking back at the Lord she simply stated, "Here they are."

Seeing the sly and almost anxious look on her friend's face she waved a quick hello before dragging Suzanne from the room, leaving Aragorn with his stepfather.

"What was all that about?"

"Well, he was asking a lot of questions, I was scared of him, and I kinda, sorta, lost my temper.."

"You what? You lost your temper with one of the most powerful people in Middle Earth!"

"Yep, that about sums it up."

"I will never understand you."

"Heh, no one does."

Laura only shook her head as a devious smirk crossed the blonde's face.

"So, what was it that you and Aragorn did while I was gone?"

A resounding thud followed her question as Suzanne rubbed her head.

"Ouch, that hurt!"

Aragorn exited the room, seeing the angry look upon Elrond's face. He was confused to find Laura smirking triumphantly and Suzanne glaring at her. He didn't ask for fear of what the answer may be.

"Follow me, I will show you where you may stay."

Laura could only think one thing. { I'll follow you anywhere... }

Obediently the two followed Aragorn down many corridors until they finally reached a door that lead them into a large room. Laura gasped at the beauty of the quarters while her friend was still thinking of all those hallways.

"You know I'm going to get so lost in this place!"

"This room is so big!"

"That's not the only thing that is around here."

Aragorn merely watched the girls with amusement.

"There are clothing items in the wardrobe, you are welcome to any of them, though some may be large on you. You are not quite the size of the elves. I will return in a while to check on you."

And with that he left with only a nod. Though Laura seemed sad to see him leave, Suzanne was already running to the dresser.

A/N: Ok, really sorry 'bout the lateness of this chapter. Don't have an excuse, 'cept that my muse went on an extended vacation. A review snapped me out of it. I know it's short, maybe they'll get longer. Please review, I'd really love it.

Olwyen: Thanks a lot for your review, I'm really glad you like the story. And, please, recommend it to your friends. The more the merrier!
