She turned the doorknob and started out the door and said "Now, if you'll excuise me, I'm going down to dinner".
Mark trailed after her and said "Hey ! I'm hungry too, wait up!".
Alex rolled her eyes and tried to lose him, but her long dress and too small shoes wouldn't allow it.
She ran to til she had almost reached the courtyard, then at seeing Boromir standing waiting there for her, she slowed her pace.
He was dressed in a very regal looking outfit. It was a beautiful red velvet jacket that reached his thighs, and black trousers.
Alex took a deep breath and walked over to him, with butterflies in her stomach.
At seeing her, he bowed and said "Good evening my la-" he was cut short by Mark yelling after Alex.
She held out her hand and said "Let's go!". Boromir took her arm, but didn't move and said "I believe someone is calling your name".
By the time he said that, Mark spotted Alex and started towards her with a scowl on his face.
She pretended not to see him for a couple of seconds, then said "Ohh, yes, you're right. It's Mark".
Mark walked up to Alex and sarcastically said "That was close...I almost lost you there for a second".
Alex just rolled her eyes as Mark stood with his hands in his pockets.
Boromir let the tension go un noticed (as men so often do..) and said "Well, now that we have all found each other, let us continue on to our meal".
They all walked in silence along a dirt paved trail, passing houses (or at least, thats what they looked like) and other beautiful wonderously crafted buildings until they reached a set of doors.
They were thick, wide and made of oak, they seemed to be twice Mark's height. There were the most breathtaking carvings covering each inch of wood on the doors. Designs of ivy leaves, elivish writings, exotic flowers...it was too much to take in !
Boromir placed his hand on the door knob and gave it a turn and gentle push. As he did, the doors swung open and revealed hundreds of elves sitting along tables that lined the walls. They were all beautiful, dressed marvelously, with long silky flowing hair.
Mark looked around until he spotted the girl he had met earlier.
At seeing him, Laurien rose from her seat and started to walk over.
Boromir was seating Alex (who was obviously giddy with excitement at the environment and the company she was entertaining) so Mark decided just to stand and wait for Laurien to reach him.
Mark was a little uncomfortable as he was still in the clothes he had changed into earlier on the playing field, where everyone else in the room was dressed in the most regal looking outfits he'd ever seen.
Laurien was no exception.
She had a green long flowing dress, and a silky green scarf around her neck. Her long brown hair was let down, falling down to the middle of her back.
She was the picture of beauty, but not one that Mark happened to be paying attention to. He was watching Alex and Boromir out of the corner of his eye.
He didn't remember Alex ever being one who would dress up much, so he was a bit taken aback at seeing her in a dress, let alone one so extrodinary.
Laurien interupted Mark's train of thoughts and said "Goodevening. I see you've not found a chair yet" with a touch of question in her voice.
Mark looked at her and said "Oh, no, I don't have a seat...".
With that Laurien held out her hand "Please follow me then. I have a chair for you right next to mine" she said.
Mark took her hand and followed as she led him back to where she had been sitting.
He pulled out her chair for her and as she sat he looked to see if he could see Alex from there.
He could, and from the looks of it she was having a speldid time.
Laurien cleared her throat and looked back at him.
He looked down at her and said "Oh! I'm sorry" and continued to scoot her chair in.
Mark trailed after her and said "Hey ! I'm hungry too, wait up!".
