(-)Chapter 15(-)

Aragorn glanced at his brother, "So what happened while we were gone?"

Elladan immediately became serious, "Ada sent some elves to Venatral's house. They took him and all his men to Mirkwood, I honestly pity King Thranduil right now... but they were sentenced to emprisonment for about five years, the enslaved were healed and freed."

Aragorn smiled, "Good," he dismounted to walk next to him.

Sardyn followed him, trusting his horse to keep the other elf on his back, though he didn't really care if he fell, it would simply be annoying trying to get him back up.

"How is Meril?"

Elladan laughed, "Sindiyen seems to have taken to her quickly, and she is doing well, a sweet child she is, nothing like you."

Aragorn just shrugged, "What can I say? I learned to survive."

"Ouch," Elrohir laughed.

Sardyn stayed quiet, looking slightly nervous.

Aragorn glanced over at him and cocked his head to the side, "Sar? Are you okay?" he laughed slightly, "Don't be so nervous, all will be well."

"I hope so," the elf muttered.

Aragorn raised an eyebrow, "Sar... if you don't brighten up I'll be forced to drop another fish on you. And after the smell that caused you know I don't want to do that again," he pulled a disgusted face.

Sardyn laughed slightly.

"We can do one better," Elladan grinned, "we'll get his girlfriend to do it."

The elf winced in obvious embarrassment.

"Which reminds me," Elrohir said suddenly, "we have a visitor you may be happy to see Estel."

Aragorn just blinked in confusion.

"Anyhow," Elladan laughed, "you two go, ada's expecting you, we'll meet up with you in a while."

Aragorn smiled, "Thank you," he nodded, leaped back onto the black horses back and the two quickly set off again.

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)

Aragorn dropped from his horse and allowed the stable hand who greeted him in surprise to take it.

The door was opened and Elrond smiled at his son, "Mae govannen," he blinked as the captive elf suddenly fell off the horse as the creature was taken by a second stable hand.

Morderen winced and groaned through the gag.

Aragorn and Sardyn just stared at him, then glanced at each other and shrugged.

"Indeed," Aragorn laughed, turning back to his father.

The human quickly dragged his new-found friend behind him towards the house as a couple of Rivendell's guards dragged the bound elf off the ground and took him in to be locked into a room to await his sentence.

Glorfindel stepped into the doorway and smiled, "Welcome back Estel!"

Aragorn grinned, "Thank you Glor!"

The elf then shrugged and hugged him, "It's good to have you back."

"You're only saying that because the twins now have someone else to prank," he laughed, hugging the elf and pulling back, "Glor, this is Sardyn, or Silithtasar, whichever you prefer," he grinned, "Sar, Glorfindel. Or if you want to bug him, call him Glorfy, he really appreciates it."

"I wouldn't if you know what's good for you," a voice put in nervously.

Aragorn glanced over and grinned, "Hello Sindiyen! Come," he said brightly, grabbing the two elven lords by their wrists like children and dragging them away, "let them talk."

Glorfindel rolled his eyes, "Someone's in a good mood..."

Elrond sighed, "We wanted him back," he muttered.

Aragorn grinned.

As soon as they turned the corner, though, the two elves turned on him and lifted him off the floor so they could pin him to his bed so Elrond could make sure he hadn't injured himself again.

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)

Sardyn shifted nervously as the other elf stared at him.

"Sar?" she murmered, shaking her head in surprise, "I can't believe it's you..."

"Sindiyen... I'm sorry, I should have at least wrote you or-"

"Oh be quiet!" she laughed suddenly and pulled him into a hug, then pulled back and stared at him blankly, "So, I've waited 2074 years for this. When will it happen?"

Sardyn gaped at her, "I... what? The... wed-"

"Yes! Of course," she smirked, "what? Changed your mind?"

"No! Of course not," he smiled, "but you know I think we should wait at least until after the trial to start planning this."

A third elf stepped into the room with a laugh, "Indeed Sindi!" she laughed, "He's confused and surprised enough with all that's happened lately, give him time to at least regain that elvish accent," she joked.

Sindiyen grinned, "Of course, sorry."

"So, where did ada take Estel?"

The cook giggled slightly and pointed in the direction of the healing wing.

She frowned worriedly, "Is he hurt?"

"No, he's fine," Sardyn said with one raised eyebrow.

"Oh," she blinked and shrugged, then quickly turned and ran down the hall in the direction of the healing wing.

Sardyn glanced at Sindiyen in confusion, "What was that?"

Sindiyen laughed, "That's Arwen, Lord Elrond's daughter," she grinned, "she and Estel are... together, to put it simply, I suppose."

Sardyn blinked in shock, "An elf and a man?"

"Indeed," she smiled, "but they are made for each other, it is obvious, Lord Elrond wasn't too happy at first, but I think he's gotten used to it. The twins were shocked yet oddly pleased," she laughed, "poor Estel, always being tortured by those two but they love him."

Sardyn grinned suddenly, "And all this time he's been teasing me... he's not getting away with that," he joked.

"Not now Sar," she laughed, "give them their space, I don't believe they've seen each other for a while."

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)

Arwen peeked into the room, finding her father standing over the poor human, questioning him, she stepped in, "Ada? The twins are back, I think they're plotting against Sardyn already, they were going through your herb closet."

Elrond grumbled something under his breath and left the room.

Glorfindel watched him go and smirked, "He's so easily fooled by you Arwen, poor elf," he laughed, closing the door behind him and following the other lord, wanting to see the expression on the twins' faces when Elrond spoke to them.

Arwen smiled and turned to the human who sat staring at her in surprise, "Mae govannen Estel."

Aragorn grinned and stood, "Arwen," he blinked then, "what are you doing here?"

She laughed, "A lovely greeting Estel," she smiled and hugged him tightly, "I've missed you."

"I've missed you as well 'Wen," he murmered.

She smiled and kissed him, "Come," she said suddenly, taking his hand and pulling him towards the window, "we have to get out of here before ada realizes I lied."

"Arwen!" Elrond's annoyed voice came down the hall.

"Too late," Aragorn muttered before jumping out the window after the elf.

The two quickly circled around and climbed into a tree that lead to the balcony of a spare guest room. They pushed the door open and quickly shut it behind them, laughing.

"How long do you think it'll be before he finds us here," Aragorn snickered.

"It wont take long if you don't persuade me not to tell him you're here," Sardyn said in amusement, he sat on the corner of his bed, Sindiyen sitting next to him, watching the two in amusement.

Legolas smirked from where he sat in a chair in the corner of the room, "Well now Strider," he mocked, "this doesn't look good on your part."

He blinked innocently, "Hey, she dragged me."

"Estel!" Arwen laughed, "Don't you even t-"

"Shh! Ada's coming," Legolas mocked.

Arwen blinked, "Ai, he's right."

Sardyn laughed, "Hide under the bed," he pulled up the bedskirt with a grin.

Aragorn blinked but immediately did so when he heard his father call him and Arwen again.

Arwen quickly followed him.

The door was pushed open just as they dissapeared.

Elrond frowned, "Sorry for my intrusion, I had not expected you all to be here," he sighed but smiled wryly, "you haven't seen my two youngest have you?"

"Of course not Lord Elrond," Legolas denied his words by nodding and pointed at the balcony.

Elrond stared at him, "You're a terrible liar Legolas," he muttered, leaving the room with an air of slight annoyance.

As soon as they knew he was far enough away the two under the bed both started laughing and pulled themselves out from under the structure.

The door was pushed open suddenly and the two froze when the elven lord raised one eyebrow at them and crossed his arms.
