Amari POV:
As always I woke up with the sun, its golden rays peeking through my window, dancing across my face. I smile as I get up, walking into my large closet and standing there. 'So many dresses, god. Hmmm lets go with a yellow dress today... Ew not that yellow, Ah that yellow!' I pick out a soft yellow dress, off shoulder and with a train that follows when I walk. As I brush my hair someone knocks at my door, I can't help my heart jumping hoping it's Thranduil. I jump up and open the door, I try to keep the look of disappointment off my face as a young blonde elf stands quietly at my door. She timidly looks at me and smiles "Good morning my lady, my name is Sehor, I am your new lady in waiting." I tilt my head to the side, "I'm sorry Sehor, but I did not ask for a lady in waiting." Sehor smiles a little "My lady I was sent to you by King Thranduil.".
I gasp a little, 'Thranduil did this? But-but why? I'll have to ask him' I smile at Sehor, "Very well, then we shall become good friends!" We both smile and I invite her in to sit on my bed. We talk until the sun is almost at its highest point, I sigh and smile "Sehor I have had a wonderful time talking to you, but I did not eat breakfast and it is almost lunch time." Sehor shoots up and nods her head, "Oh my lady I am so sorry, Please forgive me for taking up your time-" I giggle "Sehor its fine, now please return to your home for lunch, I will walk myself to the dinning hall."
The dinning hall is empty except for the rushing servants laying out food before Thranduil arrives. I smirk a bit to myself and sit in the huge chair at the head of the table, Thranduil's chair. It is quite comfy, I sit there and wait patiently, ignoring the appalled looks from the servants at my actions. And then it happens, Thranduil walks in, in all his glory. He sees me and his signature smirk graces his face "Why Amari, you look quite comfortable in that chair don't you..." I change my position until i'm sitting lower in the chair like he does, one leg tossed over the other and my arms on the sides, "I'm quite satisfied with this chair." I murmur, the words rolling lazily off my tongue. He walks over to me and places his arms on either side of the chair above me, the only thing I see is his eyes "You do look quite fitting in that chair, my QUEEN..." I blush lightly him calling me queen, my cocky demeanor melting away at his closeness. I swallow and nod my head "You d-don't mind that I sit here do you?" he leans in closer with every word I speak, " Oh no, I don't mind at all." his lips so close to mine... All i would have to do is just lean forward a bit... And then he pulls away, sitting in the chair that i usually sit in, his smirk very evident on his face.
He knows exactly what he did, my heart is pounding and my face a burning red like my hair. We eat slowly in a tense silence, stealing glances at each other throughout the meal, his eyes searching mine. I finish my meal when he does and look at him, each of us daring the other to speak, Thranduil being his cocky self spoke first. His eyes shinning he stood and came to stand in front of me, leaning back down as he had before "May I have my chair back? Please?" I nod my head slowly and stand up, forgetting what would happen if I do, my lips become much closer to his, and it becomes very hard not to push them closer for me. Thranduil though does not seem to mind, he slowly leans in but is interrupted by his head servant, Calar I think. Thranduil turns slowly to face him, his eyes trying hard to cover his range from me "Yes Calar? What can I do for you?" his voice is strained but Calar seems somewhat unfazed "My lord Thranduil, I must speak with you alone, it is very important." Thranduil groans in annoyance, gives me one last look and then leaves me quickly, slamming the door behind him as he exits the room.
Thranduil POV:
I slam my hands harshly on my desk, Calar, My captain of the army and I in my study, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE IS A DRAGON ATTACKING EREBOR?!" The desk almost cracking from the force of my slamming, scalar gulped and looked nervously at his feet. I snarled and walked up to him, getting right in his face and whispering quietly "Calar, is there a dragon or isn't there. TELL ME RIGHT NOW!" I yelled the last part, Calar took a deep breath and looked up at me, "Aran vuin (Beloved king) Smaug is attacking Dale and Erebor... They will not last the night I fear..." I sigh and slump back into my chair "Get the troops ready to go then... We leave as soon as possible...". Calar bows and rushes out, I stand and make my way out after him to go and find Amari and tell her what was going on. I find her sitting in her room staring out her window, "Amari?" I call quietly "Amari I must go." She turns her head from the window and looks at my with worried eyes, "Its because of the dragon that you leave right?"
She looks back out her window, looking at the sky, I walk over to her and see that there is smoke crawling over the clouds and blue sky. I look down at her and sit next to her on her bed, "I will come back to you Amari, I swear it." She looks at me and smiles widely, throwing her arms around my neck and whispers in my ear "I know you will, but I dont want to find a single solitary scratch on your body when you get back." She pulls away and kisses my cheek. My heart lurches and again I want to kiss her, so badly as I did this morning. I glance out the window and frown and kiss Amaris cheek before I stand "Gûr nîn *níniatha n'i lû n'i a-govenitham" I whisper (My heart shall weep until it sees you again), her face turns a deep pink and she smiles widely at me, and so I turn and leave her. And my heart weeps as I do. With every. Single. Step.
I hate dwarves.
