judging by the lack of reviews, I'm just going to say that I guess this fic must suck...oh well..it's only gonna be a 8 chapter deal anyway...

CHAPTER 5

Lindir turned to Elrohir.

" We are fine pen-neth."

Elrohir raised an eyebrow. Lindir nearly started to laugh again. It was a perfect imitation of Lord Elrond. Elrohir shook his head.

" You were looking at each other for a long time."

Melpomaen bit his lip. Surely this elfling could not have figured out that he had feelings for Lindir. Lindir smiled at Elrohir.

" We were attempting to mind speak."

Elrohir shook his head.

" But you are not blood."

Elladan rolled his eyes at his brother.

" And you are not bound."

Lindir thought on this for a moment. He nearly smiled to himself about how it would be to bind himself with Melpomaen. He was so lost in thought that he did not even noticed Melpomaen was shaking him.

" Lindir?"

Lindir turned to Melpomaen, still lost in thought.

" Hmmm?"

Melpomaen swallowed hard.

" Are you bound?"

Lindir smiled broadly.

" Not yet."

Erestor turned to Lindir.

" Are you lost in daydream again?"

Lindir nodded. Erestor began to snicker.

" Who are you daydreaming of?"

Lindir smiled again and, in a room full of elves, uttered the name of his beloved.

" Melpomaen."
