Can anyone guess what Haldir's character flaw will be?

While Haldir was up stairs 'relieving' himself, Natalie was downstairs making breakfast, honey roasted Pringles, strawberry and cinnamon sugar with dried strawberry chunks and of course our favorite Fruit Loop Pringles in array of colors and fruity flavors!

Natalie set out the cylinder cardboard cans and setting them on the table with 2 milk, bowls and spoons. She then took her place at the table and proceeded to pore herself a bowl of strawberry Pringles with cinnamon swirls and covered them in milk.

Haldir walked in on Natalie trying to fit a Pringle onto her spoon all he could think was…

'I pray that is not what I am supposed to eat this morning'

"Lady Natalie?" Natalie jumped not noticing he had walked into the kitchen. It was a large kitchen with mahogany cabinets that had frosted glass doors, the counters were covered in large white tiles same as the floor and the walls were painted a soft creamy yellow.

"Breakfast is served!" Natalie swept her hand dramatically showing the 3 cans of Pringles substituted for cereal.

"Hmm," Haldir walked up to the cans and picked up a blue Fruit Loop Pringle. An intrigued look came upon his handsome elfish features as he took an other one and another one ect. ect. ect.

"Can't get enough can you?" Natalie looked at him with a knowing smile.

All of a sudden the door bell rang.

Natalie looked up wondering who it was.

"Should I go upstairs?" Haldir asked this knowing very well that Natalie was living alone at the moment but that her neighbors would be checking up on her and would not be happy to find him.

"Nah, it's probably Oz, if not, I'll give a subtle signal." Natalie replied with a wink. ;)

She skipped out of the kitchen into the hallway, her dino slippers roaring the whole way. Haldir just shook his head, he could feel a headache coming on and it was a very strange thing for an elf to get a headache.

Haldir waited for a few moments listening as Natalie answered the door.

"HEEEELLLLLOOOO!!"

Haldir grumbled under his breath. "I really am going to have to give her a lesson it subtlety!"

Haldir quickly looked around for a place to hide. He saw a cracked door that he rushed to because he could hear the strange slippers making their roaring way towards the kitchen.

"So, Anne, what brings you here?" Natalie asked in a very polite and formal way.

"Mom made me bring you breakfast," grumbled Anne and she handed Natalie the bag of food while looking around.

"Is anyone here?" She asked pointing to the two bowls on the table.

"Not that I know of, I could be wrong." Natalie said giving Anne a charming smile.

Haldir tried to hit his head against a wall in frustration but instead hit some boxes, causing quite a commotion.

"What was that?" Anne asked and started walking towards Haldir's refuge.

"Stay back Anne, it is my house let me go first!"

Anne was not one to take orders but she fell back due to the fact that Natalie had a large butcher knife and maniacal look in her eyes, witch was helped by the fact she not taken a shower, brushed her teeth or hair.

Anne stood a good distance away as Natalie opened the door to the pantry and closed it behind her.

"I thought elves were supposed to be quiet!" Natalie whispered urgently.

"WE generally are but you humans pack ever thing so close together makes it a challenge!" Haldir replied in not so nice a voice. (You really have to understand that the stress is starting to get to him.)

"HA! Now that was raciest and a stereotypical remark, Mrs. Bingham's pantry is really big and open!" Natalie shot back in a triumph voice.

Outside Anne was starting to get confused. "Natalie? Is everything okay in there? Who are you talking to?"

"Play along," whispered Natalie.

She squeezed around Haldir and pulled down a bottle of red food coloring sprayed it on her shirt and the knife, then boldly stepped out the door.

"REALLY, REALLY, REALLY big rat!"

Natalie waved her knife around in a menacing manner as is she had just battled the Witch King and was the heroin of the battle.

"Can I see it?" Anne asked curiously.

"NO! I don't think you could handle it," Natalie made a jester to emphasize the "blood" on her p.j. shirt.

Anne got the idea in her head that for some reason it might be a good time to leave right about now.

"Okay, well, I am going to take off now, hehehe." Anne made a b-line for the door and took off running once she was outside.

Haldir had heard Anne's quick departure and stepped out of the pantry dusting him-self off.

"Well, Natalie even if you have not traumatized the poor child into jumping off the White Tower I don't think she will come back again." Haldir said this with a serious tone and a face to match but it was some what downplayed when he started munching on the Pringles again.

"Well that would not be a bad thing." Natalie said this loud enough for Haldir to give her a look.

"Trust me if you really knew her you would agree," responded Natalie.

Haldir just shook his head and walked over to inspect the bag that Anne had brought over. He opened the plastic which was something completely new to him and stood the staring at it curiously, feeling, touching, experiencing, observing, absorbing and crinkling.

"It's called plastic," remarked Natalie.

"What is it made of?" Haldir asked.

"Not quite sure but I think it is made of…" she stood there thinking, "well I am not really sure. I should google it."

"Oh." Was all he said in response.

Natalie walked over and finished opening the bag; she found bacon, fluffy scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese, crispy golden brown toast and a thermos of Costa Rican Coffee.

"Mmmmm, coffeeeeee," Natalie twisted the cap off in two seconds and her nose in the opening of the thermos, inhaling the rich smell in less than one.

Haldir stood looking at her like she had just gone off the deep. Natalie of course was not paying any attention whatsoever as she pulled down a huge coffee mug that was about 3 time the size of a regular coffee mug and emptied about half the contents into the mug.

Natalie finally realized that Haldir was staring at her after about 10 minutes of adding sugar and milk. (Hey it's a careful science!)

"You can have some food," she pointed at the food that she was now scooping on to her plate.

Haldir just shook his head and returned to the Pringles. Natalie shrugged at sat down to eat.

30 minutes later Natalie got up, cleaned off the dishes and placed them into the dishwasher. She added he soap then shut the door.

Haldir finishing his second can of Pringles he watched Natalie curiously. Natalie turned around and pretended to wipe the non existent sweat off her forehead.

"What's up?"

Haldir looked up and pointed, "The ceiling."

Natalie bursted out laughing bent over and clutching her chest she replied, "Sorry, I mean what you are looking at?"

"That box or that I don't "thing"?"

"Oh! That is a dishwasher. Hot water is shot up through the middle, the soap mixes and it washes the dishes."

"Oh." Was all he said in response.

"Well I am going to go get ready, you should too and then we can go out. You should probably use my brother's clothes so that way you won't stand out as much."

Haldir nodded his head as he started on his third can of Pringles.

"You are going to get sick if you keep eating like that."

"Elves do not become ill."

"Whatever!"
