I forgot the whole desclaimer thingy. No, I don't own any of these characters as much as I wish I did. I just borrowed them to feed my bored mind. I think that's all. I really hope you enjoy the story. Please read and review, I really appreciate it!!!
"What kinda ore is that? Ye lunkheads! How are we ever ta do anything with this?" Bruenor yelled menacingly at his workers. The two dwarfs just looked at him with wide eyes and looks of terror on their faces.
"What are ye starein' fer? Get back to work and get me some better ore!" Bruenor growled at his workers. They quickly scurried away from their angry employer in sheer terror. Bruenor laughed and turned away from the sight of his fleeing employees. Still laughing and not paying attention he almost ran into Regis.
"Rumblebelly! What are ye doin' down here?" Bruenor asked a very fidgety Regis. Before Regis could answer however another voice bellowed up from behind him, a voice Bruenor knew to well. "Me king, me king!" Thibbledorf Pwent yelled loudly towards Bruenor. That was something Bruenor had not been called since he had left Mithrall Hall all those years ago. While Pwent was still out of earshot Bruenor whispered into Regis' ear. "Go find Drizzt and me daughter. Make sure ye hurry! I don't like this already!" So with that Regis scurried off, grumbling the whole way.
Drizzt pulled back from the kiss with a big smile on his face. He laughed with a happiness that could only be compared to the joy he felt when he left the underdark.
"I guess that means it's official?" Drizzt sarcastically asked. Catti- brie's smile was just as wide as Drizzt's was.
"I guess so." She replied with a laugh. He smiled and pulled Catti- brie close to him in a warm loving hug. Catti-brie curled up as close to him as possible. He wrapped his arms comfortably around her and she laid her head on his strong chest. She was just about to say something to Drizzt when Regis burst into the clearing. His face was red and he was breathing heavily.
"Perfect moment." Drizzt muttered loud enough just for Catti-brie to hear. She giggled softly as Regis approached them. Regis looked at them and smiled mischievously. Catti-brie glared at him as she sat up next to Drizzt. Drizzt let one of his arms drop to the ground as the other slid in around her waist.
"What do ye want Regis?" Catti-brie said quite evenly. Regis returned her glare but he soon burst into laughter. Catti-brie's deadly glare made him change his mind about laughing. He remembered the one time Catti-brie pinned him to a tree upside down for three hours until he apologized for making fun of her hair that morning. The thought sent shivers down his spine. His laughter quickly died down.
"Bruenor sent me to find you. Pwent is here to see him for some reason." Regis said. Catti-brie looked at Drizzt with an expression of curiosity to which he only shrugged.
"Pwent is here? In the dale? Do you know why?" Catti-brie questioned the poor halfling. Regis looked from Catti-brie to Drizzt and shrugged his shoulders and sighed loudly.
"He came early in the morning saying he wanted to see Bruenor but he didn't say why. So I brought him to Bruenor, and now Bruenor sent me to find you. I must be the messenger!" Regis said. He sighed again and he looked dejectedly at the ground. Catti-brie moved away from Drizzt and she went over and patted Regis on the back.
"It'll be okay Regis." There was a long pause. "Regis, could ye give Wulfgar a message for me?" Regis looked up at her and he scowled. Catti- brie looked at him and laughed. Drizzt snickered at the sight of Regis' scowl.
"Where is Pwent at?" Drizzt asked after they finished laughing. "In the mines." Regis replied.
"Well then, let us be off!" Drizzt announced. He walked over to Catti- brie and grabbed her hand.
"Care to race?" he asked slyly. His eyes twinkled with the idea of the challenge.
"Ye bet I am!" she exclaimed. And off they went bounding through the forest, as agile and nimble as ever. Regis watched them leave and sighed. He looked down at his growing belly and grimaced. He then leaped off as he hoped he hadn't missed all the fun.
