The Morning After
Buffy woke up that morning, after the dance, not filling refresh for she stayed up thinking everything that Gandalf told her and what she was going to with this information was beyond her reasoning at the moment. Buffy was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't see Legolas walking down the hall towards her and ran into him.
"What?" She said looking up from where she landed on the floor. "Ohhh Legolas, I didn't see you. I'm sorry for running into you." She blushed and looked away.
Legolas was surprised when something hit him in the back and was even more surprised to see that it was Buffy and that he knocked her on the floor. "It's alright. I didn't sense you and I wasn't paying attention either." He held out his hand to help her up.
When she grabbed his hand she was surprised by the heat and electricity that ran through her arm. She smiled softly. "Well then, I think we are even if we were both not paying attention to anything. I am usually more attentive but I've been thinking a lot sense last night and not at all aware of my surroundings than I am usually am and I'm just thinking about the whole deal with the council and with Fordo and ohhh my god I am babbling. I'm sorry; if I am keeping you form anything."
"Don't worry about it; I do not mind listening if you need to talk. So from what I understand you are joining us for the council right. Also, that you know a lot about what is going on right." Legolas said as he took her arm and led her down the corridor.
Buffy smiled when she realized that he was trying to get her to talk about what she knows about the one ring. "Sorry, Leggs, but I am not telling you anything about what I know." At his look, she laughed out loud. "My grandfather did a great job trying to disperse some of the information that I know by getting you to try and talk to me but it won't work. He needs to understand that if I tell you guys anything at all that it could change the fate of the entire world could change or the information could reach enemies ears."
Legolas looked down because he had been caught by her to try and figure out what she knows on the behalf of Gandalf. "Well I am sorry. For I was against the notion of trying to get you to talk about this, but I never want to cross Mithrandir in any way. For it is not wise to cross a wizard."
Buffy laughed even more and Legolas smiled at the thought of making her laugh. "I agree with you. You would not want to cross his path in anyway because there would be dire consequences for that person."
Legolas nodded and opened the door that led them outside where the hobbits and Aragorn were waiting. 'Morning Buffy' they all called as she made her way over there.
"Good morning, guys. How are you on this fine day?" Buffy asked as she got over them.
"We are all fine, Buffy and you look well your self. Will you be able to attend the council today? Lord Elrond does not want to hold it off any longer." Aragorn asked as Buffy and Legolas walked up.
"Yep. I fill great actually, though a little tired from last nights activities and not getting much sleep. But I should be okay to sit through the council."
Aragorn nods and stand up. "Well I go let Gandalf and Elrond know so they can prepare."
"You go do that. While I see if I can find so food around here."
Merry perked up at that. "We know we're the mess hall is. We'll take you there. For it is time for us to have a second breakfast."
Pippin stood up and grabbed her hand. "Yeah. Follow us and we will show you." They dragged her off with Frodo and Sam following them.
Aragorn looked at Legolas as soon as they disappeared inside the building. "Any luck, Mellon." (Friend)
"No. I slipped the question in as casually as I could but she still figured it out." Legolas shook his head. "She is most interesting. I can't wait to get to know her better. I hope I will have the time."
Aragorn patted Legolas on the back. "You will have the time. I promise you that. Even if it only a short time."
They walked quietly together towards Elrond's study. They knocked and enter.
"So tell me, dare boy, any luck with finding anything out?" Gandalf asked as soon as the door was shut behind them.
"No, but she is ready for the council. She might talk somewhat there but do not count on it Gandalf for she is afraid of what might happen if the enemy finds out." Legolas said and sat down in the chair.
"It is as I suspected. She will not tell us and we can not push her to or she would just get angry at us." Elrond said from behind his desk. "I will call the council within the hour. Tell all that is to be present to be there."
Aragorn and Legolas both nodded. "We will go tell them now, my lord. We will see you in awhile then."
They both turned and left the room. Telling everyone to prepare for the council.
Thanks again for all the review and for being patient for me updating. I just got done with my mid-terms today. That was fun. Well please R\R.
Sorry that it's kind of short. The council is next so it will be longer. I won't change much of the council though. Any Ideas or Problems let me know.
