Crossing Paths

Amanda

I too let out the breath I had been holding. Pippin extracted his right hand from the tub and laid it across the ledge opposite his left. I felt a small smile cross my own lips. Peregrin Took didn't know it yet but the sneaky little fool had began to worm his way into my heart. Even I didn't know when it had begun. I relaxed seemingly then too much and fell out of the tree and landed with a bone shattering crash on the ground below.

"Who's there?" was shouted from the window above my aches forgotten I jumped to my feet and ran the short distance to the wall and flattened myself against it. I looked up to the window nervously and then back down and out looking for something to blame the noise upon. Legolas suddenly broke through the forest and was walking in my direction as he went to pass the house,

"Hey." Was hollered from the window above. Legolas stopped in his tracks and looked up to the window. Then he glanced at me briefly. I violently shook my head in a,

"Don't say a thing," gesture. Legolas then flicked his eyes back up to the window.

"Hoy Pippin what seems to be the trouble?" asked Legolas. I felt the weight lift off of my shoulders as Legolas sort of took the blame.

Legolas

Pippin was gazing at me in a rather guarded manner. Since I had come into the scene rather late I didn't understand a single thing that was going on. On top of all that I didn't rightly care at the moment being that I was still a bit happy from my conversation with Laurelin the Mage.

"Hoy Pippin what seems to be the trouble?" I called up to the window.

"I should be asking you the same thing Elven Prince, what are you doing skulking about so late at night?" asked Pippin.

"Nothing Pippin, but I could ask you what you are doing standing in the window wearing a towel," I countered. Pippins eyebrows shot up at my question. I glanced at Amanda the Mage who had covered her eyes with a hand and was shaking her head. I looked back up at Pippin who's face had gone white. He then turned and walked away from the window. I stood there quietly waiting until Pippin was out of sight. I walked over to where Amanda was, still stuck to the wall like a thief in the night. "Like to tell me what happened?" I questioned Amanda the Mage.

"Legolas never mind you don't want to know, it's none of your business besides it would have been far worse if I had been caught," she told me plainly what had the silly mage gotten up to now.

"So it was okay for me t help you out but it's not okay for me to know what I helped you out of," I asked.

"That's right Legolas you don't need to know and you don't want to know believe me," she responded blushing and then beginning to walk away I didn't bother stopping her because her business was her own but I had more important business to take care of. Of course I needed my room for that, thinking happy thoughts I headed off in that direction.

Pippin

I turned away from the window feeling numbed by shock Legolas had been spying on me while I had taken my desire in hand, literally. He had even become aroused by it the evidence had hung in his leggings. Elves were strange creatures. I turned down the sheets discarded the towel and crawled into bed. I relished feeling clean and sliding into a warm clean bed. Better than the ground unless Amanda the Mage was going to lie on the ground with me. I remembered my fantasy of her. A fire mage she was and I loved the fire I saw in her eyes whenever a wicked thought crossed her mind. I had seen her in my minds eye dancing in the most intimate and erotic way with her friend in nature fire. While she had danced the fire had slowly burned away every last remnant of clothing to reveal her tanned skin beneath and her dusky pink nipples. Her long straight brunette hair had whipped around her frame as she had danced as thought there weren't a care in the world. Then I remembered that Legolas had seen me thinking about her in the most intimate way possible I would have to be careful I didn't need him thinking I needed Elvish company on our journey with Frodo.
