Disclaimer Own none of it, well I do own Naomie. But anything else is pretty much other people.

None? Humm... ok. Well hopefully that will change.
And Haldir
Haldir walked faster down the hall. Thinking about how things would be different now that Naomie and him may open a new chapter in his life story. Haldir did not understand his feelings, but his mother had told him that if he ever truly found his life mate ... he would know. And all signs pointed to Naomie. He may not have known her that long, but there was something there. The question now was, did Haldir really want to know what was there? The March warden was so consumed by his thoughts that he never herd Vanity approaching. First thing, Haldir was on his was to the kitchens the next moment he realised that he was lying on his back in the hall.
"Watch where you're ... Haldir!!!!" a very familiar voice said.
"Vanity." Haldir greeted as he picked himself up.
"Well I did not expect to see you down here." She said attaching herself to his arm.
"Well, I am on an errand." Haldir said simply.
"Oh? Well maybe after your errand is done ... perhaps you my wish to accompany me to my room?" Vanity asked with a glint in her eye. Haldir felt sick about that suggestion. Inwardly he winced. Vanity was ... to say the least ... a whore.
"I am sorry, my lady, but I must decline." Haldir growled between gritted teeth.
"But why?" she pouted as they rounded a corner into the kitchen.
"As I said earlier ... I have an errand to run. Which, "sadly" must have my utmost attention all day." Haldir said as he turned to the cook to order something.
"But Haldir!?" Vanity whimpered as her hand shot up and caught his cheek. She then turned his face to stare into hers.
"Why can you not put this aside? It can not be that urgent?" she whispered as her finger moved over his lips.
At this point Haldir was having quite a hard time restraining himself from pushing her forcefully away.
"It is indeed urgent." He said as he pulled her hand away from his face, quickly turning Haldir barker out at the cook: "limbas, water, and fresh fruit please."
"Come on Haldir, what is this urgent errand?" Vanity asked.
Seeing his chance Haldir smiled and began to say what it was.
"If you must know, I am spending this day with Naomie. She is not feeling well, and with me being her guard ... I must stay with her." He told her as a huge silver platter was carried to Haldir on a small cart.
"Here you are, March warden." The cook said smiling, obviously hearing the full conversation.
"Thank you." Haldir nodded.
Then he turned back to Vanity who now had a very nasty sneer on her face.
"What is so important about that brat?" she hissed.
"She is Celeborn's niece, your lord, and is quiet nice." He stated.
Seeing a great opportunity he added, "and I am finding that I fancy her." He said. Vanity's jaw dropped. As she glared at him as he left.
"Oh yes Haldir. But that will not last long." She growled as he left.
Haldir walked down the hall quickly. Soon he was back at the familiar black doors. Opening them he brought in the food. He found Naomie curled up asleep on the bed. He smiled and walked over to her. A strand of her hair had fallen onto her face and Haldir softly moved it behind her shell like ear. Immediately her eyes snapped open and she sat strait up.
"I am sorry. I did not mean to wake you." He whispered.
"It is alright." She said as thunder roared and rain splattered on the windows.
"I brought what you asked for." He told her.
"Thank you."
"Of course." Haldir said as he pored two goblets of water.
Naomie stared out of the window. Haldir sat next to the bed munching on a watermelon as he watched her.
"What is on your mind?" ha asked quietly.
"I miss my home." She said simply.
Haldir's heart went out to her. He could never even imagine what she was going through.
"I am sorry. I wish there was something that I could do." He whispered.
"Thank you. I do not think I will ever be the same," she said flatly.
"No, no you most likely will not. But perhaps one day you will be able to go back." He told her.
"I do hope so." She said.
They sat for a long moment in silence, just listening to the rain.
"Do you need to leave?" she finally asked.
"No I have all day off. I am at your disposal, my lady." He said.
She smiled.
"Do not call me that. Just Naomie. I never much liked the whole, "my lady" and "your highness" and such." She told him.
"As you wish." He told her they stat again in silence.
"I have come here to tell you something." Haldir said finally.
"I thought that you did not want to tell me?" Naomie asked with a smile.
"Not then, but ... I wish to apologies for last night. I should have not left like that." He said.
To the march wardens surprise Naomie was quiet. They passed the rest of the day in silence. Haldir watched as Naomie slowly fell asleep. Around midnight Haldir drifted off, still watching Naomie.
"I fear for those two." Galadriel told Celeborn as he laid down next to her.
"Do not. It will all work out in the end. Just like we did. Vanity does not know it yet ... but by going through with this plan, she is strengthening their true bonds of love. Now do not worry. Just rest." Celeborn assured her as he turned out the candles.
Well there it is! I'll be back again.
