I've been told that I should have Celeborn kick some rapist elf butt...soon..soon...

CHAPTER 12

"He did what!"

Celeborn did not mean to raise his voice in front of Haldir. He saw Haldir cringe at the sound of his beloved's voice. Celeborn sat beside Haldir.

" I am sorry meleth. I did not mean to yell."

Haldir took Celeborn's hand into his own.

" I forgive you, but saes..not again."

Celeborn nodded and began to stroke Haldir's hair.

" I am sorry I could not save you from him."

Haldir sat up slowly and touched Celeborn's cheek.

" You blame yourself for what has happened. This is no one's fault except for Brethiel's."

Celeborn pulled Haldir into his arms slowly so he would not startle his lover. Haldir looked into Celeborn's eyes.

" Does it always hurt?"

Celeborn shook his head.

" Not if you lover takes great care with you."

Haldir seemed to think this over for a minute, then smiled.

" When I am fully healed, will you show me?"

Celeborn shook his head.

" I do not believe so."

Haldir's smile disappeared.

" Why not?"

Celeborn grinned.

" I fear that I may possibly be a vast amount larger than Brethiel and I may injure you further."
