Chapter 5"You know Leggolash, you're my bes frien" Aragorn slurred
"You know Eshtel, you're my bes frien too" the fair haired drunken elf slurred back.
"What about ussh?" The twins asked at the same time, even drunk, it was really creepy when they did that
"Yea you're my besh friens too." Legolas and Aragorn replied in unison.
"Good" came the replies from the drunken raven haired elves.
"Now that we're all besh frins what should we do?" Aragorn asked with slightly glazed over eyes.
"I know!" Legolas said as he rose from his cushion and swayed a little "we should go 'sploring"
"Yea! That soush like a goo idea" the twins said as they joined Legolas on their feet. Aragorn made no response as he had fallen asleep.
"Now what can we do?" Elladan asked a little despondently as he noticed his human brother who had fallen backwards off of his cushion so his back rested on the floor and his hips had stayed attached to the cushion, and still hadn't woken up.
"We can still go 'slporing but we'll leave Eshtel a note" was Legolas' suggestion as he staggered off toward the writing desk in the corner of the next room., retrieved a pen and inkpot and brought them back over to the brothers who were now lightly poking Aragorn to see if he would come with them after all, but he was sound asleep. The twins turned when they heard Legolas approach and an identical puzzled expression, which Legolas would have found very funny had he been looking, crossed their features as they wondered why Legolas had only brought a pen over. It disappeared as they saw him dip the pen in the inkwell and begin to write on their brothers face. When he had finished he returned the pen and inkwell to the writing desk and returned as the twins finished reading the "note" Legolas had left on their brothers face. It simply read "Gone sploring Estel" and then the prince had signed his name.
"Common then" the fair haired elf beckoned to the twins as he turned to start his 'sploring,' (despite the fact he knew Imladris almost as well as his companions did). The sons of Elrond just stared dumfounded at their brother (who was now covered in ink) before turning and following Legolas out of the room, wondering where his 'sploring' would take him.
They followed Legolas from room to room as he poked his head through every door and looked in every room, all the while all three were mumbling and singing in the way only drunk people can. Every now and again they would find and unlucky elf or two in a room and they would stop and have a conversation with them before stumbling off giggling like children.
Half an hour later the sun had completely set and the stars were shining brightly on the house of Elrond. Outside all was at peace, the crickets were chirping softly to each other, the nocturnal animals were up and going about their own business and the odd owl could be heard hooting softly. Inside was a different matter, inside the three friends had finished their exploring in the library, in front of the newly discovered shelf of books on magic.
"Ada never told us about these" Elladan said as he pulled one down while Elrohir and Legolas looked at the other books housed on the library.
"Lets 'ave a look" Elrohir said as he lost interest in the book he was looking at and staggered over to look at the page his brother was so intently focused on.
"Looks like a spell" he said as he got close enough to look at the page
"Yep" Elladan confirmed "hey Leggy come 'ere, 'ave…" as he was speaking he looked over the top of the book to try and find the prince and beckon him over but when he looked he found the prince had passed out and was asleep on the floor, lying on his back with a book on his chest, but he wasn't alone. While the friends had been looking at books and exploring Estel had woken up. He had woken up all alone on the floor wondering what had happened, he had made his way into the bathroom to wash his hands and had looked in the mirror. He had then tried to wash his face but in his drunken state more water had ended up down his shirt than on his face, and none of the ink had moved anyway. He had then found his way out of the bathroom (after falling in the bath three times) and went exploring himself. It wasn't a hard trail to follow, all he had needed to do was follow the strange looks the three preceding him had left behind on the faces of everyone they had met on the way.
He had finished his own exploring five minutes ago when he had found the elves and saw his friend fall down asleep on the floor of the library. As his friends head had hit the floor Aragorn had made a plan, he still had a small knife in his boot, just in case, (in case of what he didn't know but just in case) and Legolas needed paying back. He had removed the knife from his boot and moved silently to his friend's side. He had taken one of the braids at the side of Legolas' head in his left hand and with his right had cut everything beyond the point of the princes ear off, he had then moved to the other side had picked up the braid and was in the process of cutting it off in the same way he had done the first when Elladan had looked over the top of the book. Before Elladan could comprehend what was going on Estel had cut both of Legolas' braids off and returned the knife to it's holder.
" Hey Eshtel, whatcha doin' here?" Elrohir asked
"Getting Leggy back" Aragorn had answered as he made his way over to his brothers "what you doing?"
"Look Estel Dan found a shpell" Elrohir said ignoring what Aragorn had done.
"Where?" Aragorn asked as he stumbled over to his brothers side, falling over every book, rug and piece of furniture on the way.
"Right there, look" Elrohir said as he let go of Elladan's arm and pointed at the passage in question, then promptly fell on his backside because he had lost his support.
"Know what I think?" Aragorn asked as he helped Elrohir to his feet and used him to support himself as he squinted at the book and focused all of his attention on the blurry black squiggles in front of him.
"Estel, no one knows what you think" Elladan taunted
"True, but I think we should read it" Aragorn answered half ignoring his brothers comment.
"Me too" Elladan agreed, perfectly timed with his twins response to the affirmative.
As they began to read the passage out loud, each filling in a word or two that the others couldn't read due to blurred double vision, Legolas, deep in his alcohol induced sleep, was very dimly aware of a slight tingling on his ears.
