The next few days were hell for Jeff. He couldn't bear to look at any food let alone eat it. It took Elrond and half the household to get him to even come down to the dining hall. After a while, Jeff began to get used to the fact that although the food looked revolting, it was just his mind. That took a couple of days of course but hey, it was better than being force fed the stuff. During that time, Elrohir and Sarah and Leah lied low. They only came out for dinner or if they really had to. Although Sarah and Leah begged Elrohir to show them some of the secret passages, he was strangely reluctant to. After asking him why not, he finally said,

"Glorfindel might kill me if I do. They're his domain. In fact, our pal Glorfy doesn't even know we know the bath-hou" Elrohir suddenly stopped and stared in disbelief. The eyes in a nearby portrait were moving. Elrohir suddenly groaned and put his head in his hands. Sarah and Leah looked around for the course of concern but didn't spot anything. They both looked questioningly at Elrohir.

"I don't think I should have told you that. And I don't think you two were the only one's to hear what I just said either!" Still groaning, Elrohir left the two standing in a passage even more bewildered.

"Wait one second…did he just say a passage and a bath house in the same sentence!" Leah asked Sarah.

"I believe so. Wait. Ack! Elrohir, wait up!" Sarah shouted and she and Leah sped off to follow Elrohir. Elrohir was slightly mistaken though. It wasn't Glorfindel who was looking through the eyes. It was Jeff. He'd come in-in the middle of a sentence though so he didn't quite understand what was being said. He only caught the words Glorfy and bath house. His 'sick minded' imagination came up with the answers though and he almost jumped in glee.

"Sarah and Leah want to spy on Glorfindel in the bath…" he said out aloud unintentionally. Luck had it that Izzy was walking past.

"Pardon?" Izzy asked Jeff.

"Oh, nothing. Just speaking to myself!" he quickly replied but Izzy already heard what he said. She gave him a look that said 'what ever!' and said,

"You know, talking to yourself is the first sign that you're on your way to the funny farm!"

"Isn't that the place that you go to to smoke your funny plants?" Jeff retorted.

"What! Me…smoke? I don't wanna die young!" Izzy retorted.

"Smoking plants. Isn't that what dwarves do?" Elladan added as he walked past.

"Dwarves, perhaps. But I'm a hobbit and I'll have you know that hobbits grow the best weed in the world!" sniffed Jeff in mock hurt.

"Weed. Isn't that those annoying little plants that the gardeners pull out?" Elladan asked, slightly confused.

"What? You have weed growing in your garden!" Jeff asked.

"Wait everyone. It's a misunderstanding!" Izzy said trying to calm the two down but they kept on babbling. 'They asked for it!' Izzy thought to herself.

"Ahem...SHUT UP!" Both stopped dead.

"Now that I have your attention, I'd like to point out that you're all hopelessly confused."

"I'm not. I'm just adding fuel to the fire!" Jeff protested but Izzy glared at him.

"Oooh. Jeffy got told," sniggered Elladan. Izzy continued on as if she didn't hear him.

"First of all, the weed Jeff is referring to is actually a smoking leaf. The weed that Elladan is referring to is the common garden plant that most people dislike and Jeff, stop being disgusting!" A chuckle from behind them made all four turn around. Elrond had been standing behind them for a while now and was greatly amused by the antics of the three of them. Shaking his head, he walked off while Izzy blushed and Elladan laughed. Jeff just made a face at him. They quietly went their own way. Elrohir, Sarah and Leah thought it would be safe now to come down to the dining hall. As they were eating dinner, they all shot secret looks at Jeff and each other trying their best not to laugh. Jeff was still having trouble eating food so now he would take huge bites of food trying to swallow them quickly and taking large gulps of water. This almost choked him in the process but succeeded in keeping Sarah, Elrohir and Leah amused throughout the dinner. Izzy was just about to take a sip of water when something plopped into her glass. Looking around she saw Jeff groan and shake his head. He pointed frantically at Leah but Izzy took no notice. She pulled the object out and found that there was a small note wrapped around an olive. Reading the note, her face slowly turned red. She glanced at Jeff who was still motioning to Sarah so Leah slowly turned to Sarah who was talking to Glorfindel. She wrapped the note around the olive again and threw it to Sarah. Sarah, who had no idea about what was happening, was greatly surprised when an olive flew passed her head. She put an arm out to catch it but was beaten by Glorfindel. Jeff and Izzy realized this and did their best to try and convert his concentration to them rather then him reading the note. Their efforts were in vain though when Erestor promptly told them to shut up. Sarah looked curiously at the note as Glorfindel read it. She looked back at Izzy and then back at the note. Glorfindel started laughing and passed the note to Sarah as he got out a scrap of paper and a quill from his sleeve. Sarah picked up the note and read it. She started laughing to but a slight blush ran up her cheeks. The note read:

Who'd have thought that Glorfy watching was a favourite pass-time of yours ey? I guess it gets even more interesting when he happens to be starkers you humsup lui

Yours faithfully, Jeff

PS. If you don't come down to the corridor where the eagle statue is midnight tonight, I'll tell everyone about this little hobby of yours.

PPS. And don't say I'm blackmailing you. Wasn't it you that told me 'all's fair in love and war'

"The olive please Sarah," Glorfindel asked with a massive grin plastered over his face. Sarah picked up the olive and Glorfindel applied some caramel to it while she almost shrieked with laughter.

"An adhesive!" he laughed and he stuck the note on it. He chucked the olive back at Izzy's turned head and the caramel stuck into her hair. Glorfindel hid a snort of laughter by drinking, not succeeding very well though, and Sarah was silently shaking with mirth but sure enough, as soon as Izzy looked at them, they were looking as innocent as angels. 'Too innocent!' Izzy thought. She only just then discovered the note in her hair and rushed to read it. She silently put her head on the table and banged it there. She then lifted it up and glared at Jeff. It was all his fault. Who knows what Glorfindel thought now thanks to Jeff. Sarah asked Glorfindel what he wrote. Coughing slightly, he looked at Sarah sheepishly.

"Ahh…sure. 'Dear Izzy. What an absolutely fascinating pass-time. I had no idea that you are now able to go into the men's bathhouse. I congratulate you on that and I was wondering if Jeff ever joins you seeing the close relationship the two of you have. You both are able to blush simultaneously and you both have a nack for both swearing the same thing, at the same time. Surely that requires a certain bond between you two. Good night and happy Glorfy watching!"

Sarah wasn't sure whether to be shocked or amused. Perhaps a mixture of both.

"But before…that almost implied….I didn't think it was acceptable here in middle-earth, and to be spoken about so lightly…"

"Oh you have no idea what goes around here!" Glorfindel said as he grinned evilly. "Do you want to meet Jeff tonight by the way?"

"Ahahaha, that would be fun. I can just imagine the look on his face when he sees you!" Sarah started laughing again.

"But I wonder how he knew about the secret passage, and whatever gave him that idea that Izzy was doing something like that…I say. You don't think he was being serious do you!" Glorfindel asked in alarm. To Sarah, this was even more hilarious. Then something dawned on her and she stopped laughing.

"No. I don't think he was being serious but I think I might know how he knows! Elrohi-" but Sarah suddenly cut off remembering the Glorfindel might kill (not literally) Elrohir if he knew that the son of Elrond had told someone.

"Go on," Glorfindel encouraged.

"Oh look, Elladan has to sit next to Nimloth!" Sarah said as she pointed to Elladan.

"Nuh uh, you're not going to deter me that easily. What did Elrohir say?" Sarah looked around desperately for help. There was no one near her who could help and Leah was talking to Elrohir someway down the table.

"Ah, well Elrohir did mention something about a passageway, and a bathroom. But then he stopped, because he thought he could see something in the wall. I think he thought it was you. It may have been Jeff."

"And trusting Jeff, he probably got the wrong end of things!" Glorfindel finished for her. Everyone stood up to go their separate ways. Most though were heading to the hall of fire.

"I'll see you later," Glorfindel said to Sarah before heading off and Sarah made her way over to Leah and Elrohir.

"Boy do I have a tale for you!" she said.
