Bombur watches two female Elves as they flit around the main kitchen. Why he was called down he isn't sure. One of them turns to him, brown eyes bright with excitement.
"Your King and Bilbo are going to have a romantic dinner tonight," she says before moving her blond bangs out of her face.
"We need your help to make sure it's perfect!" speaks the other she too has brown eyes but her hair is black. Their facial structure is similar so Bombur hazards a guess that they are sisters.
"My sister Sana and I can prepare good Hobbit foods but we need Dwarven as well."
As he helps the girls cook he wonders if all Elves are romantics at heart and gossip like old women. While they cook the special meal for the two reconnecting lovers they also make food for everyone else. As an architect and a cook Bombur has always had less distaste of Elves, too curious about their building styles and cuisine to see the point in being angry at a race for past deeds done by their forefathers. His wife would be so amused to see the Elves twitter so.
"Elrond has discovered Lindir's Mark!"
Bombur jumps, startled by the loud announcement and when he turns around he sees a young kitchen maid with frizzled brown hair and green eyes. She's smiling widely.
"The Dwarf Princes played a prank and caught him and it washed away the makeup and… and…"
"Breathe Gwynnestri!" Sana says as Vanya beams happily.
"Lindir's makeup got washed away and Elrond saw him before he could reapply it. THEY ARE HAVING DINNER TOGETHER TONIGHT!"
Bombur, Sana and Vanya flinch at how high the younger Elf's voice goes. Bombur smiles slightly. Love is in the air tonight apparently.
"Does this mean we won the bet?"
"We were the closest…"
A startled laugh escapes Bombur. Elves and Dwarrows are far more alike than most would be happy to admit. With the new information gained they start to prepare a third meal.
"Hopefully seeing his favorite foods will convince Lindir not to run."
"Why would he run?"
The Elves still and look at him, the joy in their faces dampening.
"Lord Elrond has no Mark. He fell in love with the Lady Celebrain but she… She had to sail a long time ago… Lindir feels…"
"Feels as if he is disrespecting the person his Mark loved first."
Vanya nods her head.
"It also doesn't help that Lindir is ten years younger than his sons."
Bombur starts and stares at them wide eyed.
"Aye apparently is was a big shock to poor Linnie. Him and the twins were hanging out because they were best friends and his Mark came in. The twins weren't too happy at first," Gwynnestri whispers softly. He is so thankful that his Mark was straightforward and easy to understand. Sending up a quick prayer to the Valar that everything goes well; something he, even with his neutral opinion of Elves, never thought he would do get to work even more determined.
AN: Don't forget the Poll. I'll be leaving it up for about a week maybe two ;)
