CHAP: 26

Elladan looked over and smiled when he noticed the strong blush on Rumils skin "You...you Did like the flowers?"

Receiving only a shy nod from the young Lorien elf, Elladan slowly reached over and loosely grasped his hand.

Completely shocked from the action, Rumil lightly trembled as he thought 'He...he is holding my hand! He is holding my hand as we walk! Oh he has such a gentle yet strong touch...'

"Did you...I mean...I wanted to...but Haldir was...uh...I had to burn the...err..."

"Breath Rumil"

Deep breath "You are hol...holding my hand"

Elladan smiled kindly and tightened his grip "Do you mind?"

"Nay, na...nay nay I...I do not mind lord Elladan...err...Elladan"

The elder twin continued to smile as they walked 'Valar, I did not realize how shy he was, oh he is so adorable!'.

The two of them walked hand in hand for a few until Rumil abruptly stopped "Lord Gildor continued this way, though prince Legolas..." The young elf looked around, then swiftly looked into the nearby tree "Though prince Legolas took to the trees in his pursuit at this point"

Hands still clasped, Rumil began to walk, lightly pulling Elladan with him "He entered this tree, then leapt to the next"

Releasing a heavy sigh, Rumil shyly looked over "This will be a more difficult track, ground is one thing, trees are another"

Elladan stepped closer and tilted his head "Are you still able to track them my sweet one?"

Rumil blinked in shock at the endearment, then cleared his throat "Aye, I am able to track two at once...did...did you just call me...sweet?"

The elder twin nodded and moved even closer "Aye, that I did" then placed his lips to Rumils, slowly deepening the affection.

The young elf instantly stilled, and moments later, pulled sharply away and whimpered "Oh!...I...umm..."

With his grip still on his biceps, Elladan furrowed his brow at Rumils complete look of humiliation, then looked down and realized that the Lorien elf had spilled his seed within his leggings. Blinking in shock, Elladan tilted his head "Ru...Rumil...how old are you?"

Trying hard to to just ignore the wetness that was now in his leggings, Rumil quietly answered "Fi...Fifty-one. How old...um...how old are you Elladan"

The elder twin arched his brow with amusement at the young elfs attempt to obviously forget what just happened. Deciding it would be best to go along with the charade, Elladan also ignored the event and smiled kindly "2826, and 12 minutes before Elrohir"

Rumil swallowed hard, his thoughts now bombarding him with doubt 'Oh he...he will certainly not want me now, I am but an elfling compared to him'.

As the young elf turned from his grasp, Elladan couldn't help but see the crushed look on his face. Quickly looking around, he spied some flowers, gathered them up, then fell in step next to him "Rumil? Would you accept these flowers from me?"

Rumil stopped dead in his tracks and bit his lip nervously as he slowly reached for the flowers "Ha...hannon le Elladan"

The elder twin smiled and gently retook his hand "Your welcome, they are not as nice as the bouquet I sent you, but then again, all flowers pale when compared to your loveliness"

Elladan then chucked as Rumil snorted loudly "Valar you have a sly tongue my lor...Elladan. I fear I must tell you something though...I did receive your bouquet and as I said, I liked them very much. But I only got to enjoy them for mear moments, just long enough for me to remove the note and hide it before Haldir came in. He...he tore the bouquet apart and threw it into the fire. Orophin made him go for a walk, then told me to burn your note so Haldir would not see it. Hal believes I am to young to be sought after, though Phin was happy, and rather impressed by your actions"

Elladan arched his brow "Is that why he so readily volunteered you for this mission?"

Rumil lowered his gaze as he blushed "Aye, I believe so"

The elder twin smiled anew "Well, when we return, I will have to give that middle brother of yours a Big hug, I had been beating my mind trying to figure out a way to get you alone so we could talk...Orophin has a sharp mind".

"Aye, that he does. I am sorry that you are now stuck with me though, I..."

"Why do you speak thusly, Im am quite pleased that we are getting this chance to be alone"

Rumil sighed as he turned his direction again to follow the tracks "Because Im am just an elfling to you and..."

Elladan swiftly held up his free hand as he yanked Rumil toward him with the other "You are past your majority Rumil. It could be the day of your majority and I would have pursued you...Valar, I would have perused you even if you Hadn't reach your majority so that you knew my interest and knew I was waiting for you!"

Rumil smiled from ear to ear "Truly? You are not disappointed by my age?"

Elladan pulled him close and lightly kissed his lips "Aye Rumil, Im just happy that you Are past your majority. Waiting for you would have been torture"



Later that day, Haldir entered their guest chamber and sighed when he glanced at Rumils empty bed. Grabbing a few logs, he began to prep the fireplace for that evening, then tilted his head when he noticed a half burned piece of paper. Retrieving it from the chard mess, he turn it over and realized the top half had been burned away. Ever so gently, Haldir wiped away the soot from the bottom half, then blinked in shock when he read what remained of the note........

so this you must be told,
these flowers do not compare to your beauty.
~Elladan Peredhil



Orophin watched quietly as Lindir practiced, enjoying the lovely tune being created before him, only to quickly rush over when the young minstrel yelped in pain.

Kneeling before him, Orophin gently took his hand, then tore away part of his underlay to wrap his hand "You should go to the healing wing"

Frustrated, Lindir sighed as he looked at the broken string, ignoring his hand completely "That is the third time this week a string has broken...this batch I acquired is faulty!"

Chuckling softly, Orophin pulled him to standing and began to walk him toward the healing wing "I play as well, I have many strings you may have"

Lindir finally looked over at the elf helping him and noticed he was looking at a chest instead of a face. Tilting his head up, he lightly blushed "By the Valar, you are tall"

Orophin smiled kindly while he cradled Lindirs injured hand in his as they walked "And you are lovely"



Halfway to the healing wing, Orophin cringed when he heard Haldirs voice echo through the halls...

"Orophin?!!"

Lindir startled "Who is that!"

"That would be my brother Haldir"

"Who is this Orophin, I feel sorry for him that he is being called for in anger"

The middle brother sighed as they continued on their way to the healing wing "I am Orophin".


CHAP: 27

As the healer instructed him, Lindir hopped up onto the exam table, then blinked surprised when he noticed that he was Still only eye level to Orophins chest "You...you really are quite tall".

Orophin smiled as he took a step back, then leaned forward and placed his hands on either side of the young minstrel, gripping the edge of the table, his face now level with with the shocked ellon "How is this...or I could just hunch myself, though I must admit, my back protests that stance after a while".

Lindir slowly reached out his uninjured hand and gently pushed him back "I will not have you uncomfortable. I do not mind looking up, I have to with Lord Glorfindel daily...tho I think in all truth, that you are even taller then he is".

Orophin chuckled as he assumed his natural posture "Before the vicious attack on your hand by that evil string, the song you were playing was rather nice...did you write it?"

Lindir, who is normally complemented twenty times a day and so therefore usually shrugged off such comments, actually found himself growing flushed before this tall warrior "Hannon le...aye, I wrote it"

"Orophin!!"

Lindir gasped as the tall elf instantly leapt over the other exam table, placing it between him and the irate elf "Hal...Valar you...you nearly drove me from my skin!"

Haldir narrowed his eyes and took only one step forward "Ooo...I dare say, it is a gooood thing that you are already in the healing wing, because you are going to need many many healers when I am through with you!"

Orophin worried his brow, this was not just ranting, Haldir was in a full out rage, and the middle brother knew that this was not something he could just verbally calm him from "Haldir, my brother, wha...what has you so enraged, what have I done".

"You sent Rumil out alone with the elder Peredhil! You know those flowers he received? He sent them! I found a half burned note from him in the fireplace! Rumil would Never had thought to burn it! He would have tried to keep it hidden! You! You Must have instructed him to do so!"

Lindir fidgeted with concern when the tall elfs face drained of all color. The healer tending to his hand sighed, then reached over and picked something up.

Before Haldir could truly respond to the scratch that was now on his forearm, he fell hard to the floor, unconscious.

Orophin slowly peered over the table, then looked at the healer "Wh...what did you do to him"

Sighing heavily as he finished wrapping Lindirs hand, the healer shrugged "I have better things to do then patch up a sibling squabble, I could see it in his eyes, he was definitely going to draw blood from you in some way...so I used Lord Elronds ScratchThorn. Quite a wonderful little invention of his I might add. You take a thorn, soak it in a potent sleeping draft, then bind it to this quill like handle, creating a nice little instant sleep poker. Now, I suggest that you make yourself scarce Orophin. And you Lindir, stop using those strings, they are obviously faulty...you have been here three times now this week, I do Not want to hear that you were here for a fourth"

When they entered the hall, Orophin looked down at the fair minstrel and smiled "Before my brother wakes, finds me again, and then sends me to Mandos...would you care to join me for midday meal?"



Cirdan smiled as he opened his door "Thranduil? What a rare but pleasant surprise, do come in"

Upon entering the chamber, Thranduil wrinkled his nose "You smell of that odd plant that Gildor smokes on occasion"

Cirdan snorted and motioned for him to take a seat "Of course, where do you think He gets it from. Now, what brings you to my chamber?"

The Mirkwood king swallowed his pride and took a deep breath "I...I need your help. Saes, help me".

The ancient lord kept his dumfounded shock hidden well behind a slightly arched brow "I must admit, I am taken aback by your coming to Me for help, what could be so difficult that You would seek assistance"

Thranduil rolled his eyes as he sighed "Tis rather embarrassing but...eh, warg balls! Cirdan, you like pain...sexual pain. Elrond entered me just this last night for the first time and...and he is unbelievably huge! When I pleasured him with my mouth, I knew he was big but by the blessed Valar I...I actually Begged him to remove himself. Even now, just thinking about it, I am close to weeping from just Remembering the pain. I want Elrond to be able to have at me, but...but..."

Cirdan held up his hand as he smiled "Elrohir is overly large as well, I am eagerly awaiting for when he claims me"

"You jest! If he is Half the size Elrond is..." Thranduil then shuddered and shook his head "Help me Cirdan, I need to learn to adjust to him, have you any knowledge that may assist me?"

The ancient lord looked at Thranduils pleading eyes, remembering back to when this mighty king used to sit on his lap as an elfling to listen to his tales. Smiling as he stood, Cirdan walked over to a large chest close by "First, you need to have Elrond make a mild numbing oil. You will then mix that oil with the one I am about to give you. Now, as far as adjusting? Why don't you come over here Thran, I think I may have something that will help".



Glorfindel sighed as he watched his fellows spar, feeling lonely and lost, he returned to the barracks. The guards gave him curious looks, normally Glorfindel would be in his office, not out in the main area with them and one of the warriors sat down beside him "Missing your mate?"

The seneschal sighed as a smile crept over his face "Aye, tis our first time parted for any true length of time since the dance"

The entire barracks kept quiet as they ate their midday meal until another spoke up "Tell us Captain, saes, what is it like with a...I mean, he is a...err..."

"Paper stoker?"

"Aye Captain"

Glorfindel sat tall and chuckled "Oddly enough, he is rather strong! Carrying those books around all day does wonders. I have actually entertained having the lot of you do so to bulk up some!"

The entire room chuckled, then fell silent when they realized he was serious "I jest not, Erestor is quite...impressive"

Only moments after his comment, the door to the barracks opened and Erestor peered in. Knowing his fear, everyone kept still and Huradel smiled kindly as he waved for him to enter "Saes master Erestor, enter, you are welcome here...fear not"

Glorfindel stood when he noticed the large basket in his loves hands "Ooo, you brought me food?"

Erestor cautiously stepped inside and lightly trembled "Aye, I thought you may wish to share midday meal. Have you eaten?"

The seneschal took the basket as he shook his head "Nay, and you are here just in time to dispel doubt in some unbelieving fellows of mine", then whispered "Tell me, are you dressed under your robes?"

After Erestor nodded, Glorfindel again, whispered in his ear. The adviser quickly pulled back with a look of shock on his face "You can not be serious, I only just gained the courage to enter here"

Glorfindel gave a light pout and batted his eyes "Saes?"

Erestor let out a heavy defeated sigh "Fine, but you stay by my side"

The seneschal smiled form ear to ear "Of course my dark husband", then pointed to one of his fellows "You, come over here and try to withstrain Erestor from behind"

With much apprehension, the warrior slowly approached "Master Erestor, it is well known this fear you hold toward warriors, I will not place my hands on you until I have your consent"

The assembled warriors blinked in shock when Erestor removed his robe, reviling his well muscled form beneath his leggings and underlay "I give you permission to attempt to withstrain me"

Moments later, the seasoned warrior was laying on the ground grunting in pain and Glorfindel smirked as he stepped forward "As I said, perhaps I should have some of you helping in the library, stocking its shelves and such"

Feeling a little more at ease, Erestor lightly smiled as the warriors laughed, then began to pull Glorfindel to the door "You will have to do without My mate for a few, tul Findel, let us eat"



After they ate, Lindir left Orophin in the dining hall, asking that he wait there. When he finally returned, he requested that the tall warrior follow him "So you say that you have procured a place that I may hide for a while?"

When they arrived at a large wooden door, Lindir looked up and smiled "This is the one place that you will truly be safe until your brother calms", then turned and knocked on the door.

When it opened, the elleth inside smiled at the minstrel, then blinked in shock at the tall lithe warrior "Valar Lin, you did not say that I would be hiding a tree!"

Keeping his eyes on the elleth, Lindir blindly reached back and placed his hand on Orophins chest as he worried his brow "Saes Miradel, help this warrior...for me"

Miradel looked at Lindirs hand on the warriors chest and lightly smiled "Alright, I will do this for you...but you owe me three new songs to be played at the next gathering in the Hall of Falls"

Smiling, the minstrel nodded "Agreed"

When he finally entered the chamber, Orophin swallowed hard when it hit him where he had heard this elleths name before, then startled when the door shut behind him and the sound of the lock was plainly heard. Slowly turning around to face the elleth that he was now completely alone with, he respectfully bowed "Hannon le lady Mi...Miradel for your kindness in letting me hide here".


CHAP: 28

Elrond looked up from his paperwork and startled, then smirked as he sat back in his chair "Well now, how long have you been standing there?"

Thranduil rounded the desk and slowly straddled his loves lap as he wrapped his arms around his neck "Eh, a short time...tell me my dear peredhil, will you be going to the healing wing later on?"

"Aye"

The Mirkwood king smiled as he pulled a small jar from his robe "Would you saes, make a numbing draft, though it must be of oil base, and blend it with this thick oil? It must be of equal amount as well"

Elrond tilted his head as his eyebrow raised "Alright Thran, I will do this for you...but tell me, where did you get this thick oil?"

"Cirdan"

Elronds eyes widened "Oh tell me you did Not go to him about our...dilemma"

"Of course I did, and he has agreed to help"

As Elrond slumped back in his chair, his legs shifted slightly. Seeing Thranduils reaction, he worried his brow "You winced, are you alright?"

"I did Not wince"

"Aye Thran you did, what is wrong...are...are you still in pain from my entering you?"

Thranduil sighed as he shifted some on his loves lap "I...I am learning to adjust to you"

"What?"

"You heard me, you are half-elven, not deaf"

Elrond rolled his eyes "Funny, what I meant was...right now?"

Thranduil blushed as he smirked "Aye, Cirdan uh...well, when I am used to this, I advance to the next size"

Elronds eyes slowly descended as he reached around and lightly grazed his hand over his loves backside "Wha...what is it...err..."

The Mirkwood king stood and opened his robe "Tis some sort of phallus, you put it in, then tie these straps here around you and...and they hold it in" Thranduil then snorted "I tell you my love, walking here was quite interesting, you need to be sure of step I tell you"

Elrond slowly stood up, gently turned Thranduil around, then shoved him face down on his desk "Elrond?"

Lifting his loves robes, Elrond exposed Thranduils backside "I only wish to see it Thran, hold still"

Poke

"Hey!"

PokePoke

"Mmmm...hey, daro now, tis not a toy, tis a tool and..."

PokePoke

"Huhmmm...your wicked Rondy"

Elrond snorted as he again, extended his finger and lightly pushed the object embedded in his love...

Poke

"I know Im wicked Thran..." Elrond then licked his lips and tilted his head "So tell me now...say my sons names backwards"

"What? Tul now Elro..."

Hard-PokePoke

"Nadalle, Rihorle!!"

Elrond burst into laughter and clapped his hands together like an elfling with a new toy "Do you love me Thran?"

Light-Pushing-Poke

The Mirkwood king moaned as he spread his legs a little further "Mmmm...aye Rondy aye...you are my love"

"Good, now say...Legolas"...Poke..."Salogel!"

"Rivendell"...Poke..."Llednevir!"

"Imladris"...Poke..."Sirdalmi!"

"Gildor, Mirkwood and Lothlorien"...PokePoke..."Rodlig! Doowkrim! Neirolhtol!"

Elrond smiled for ear to ear "Valar Thran, you are really good at that!" then helped Thranduil stand "Oh I think I am going to enjoy your...er...adjustment training immensely"

Thranduil rolled his eyes as he panted "You are Very lucky that I love you Elrond...very lucky. And at some point, we are going to have to sit down and discuss why you find it necessary to have me talk when something is up my arse!"



Elladan watched as Rumil effortlessly climbed a tree, only to moments later, drop down and stare at the ground "Elladan? They are almost a full day ahead of us"

The elder twin smiled "That sounds about right, shall we stop and eat?"

Rumil turned around and gave him a confused look "Should we not press on? If we stop, it will only place them further away"

Elladan snorted as he dropped his satchel "Legolas has been my brothers and my best friend for a very long time...do you really think I am going to rush his return? We need to give him more alone time with lord Gildor"

Rumil shyly smiled as he dropped his satchel next to Elladans "I see, so you mean not to catch up with them today"

Moving closer, Elladan snaked his arms around Rumils waist and held him tight "Correct my sweet one, we will catch them tomorrow, let them have this night. And tonight, you and I shall sleep under the stars together...would you like Rumil? To lay next to me as Ithil passes over us?"

Rumil took a deep breath as his body was pressed close, then gasped "Oh!...uh..."

Realizing that the young warrior had again, released his seed within his leggings, and was now trying to squirm his way free of his embrace, Elladan kept him held firmly "Oh nay...nay nay Rumil not this time. We are not going to pretend this did not happen. This time I am going to ask...is this something that accrues with you regularly?"

Mortified, Rumil closed his eyes as he shook his head "Nay Ell...Elladan, only just these two times"

The elder twin smiled as he rubbed himself against him and arched his brow "Then I will take it as a complement and confirmation of your interest in me"

Rumils blush spread to the tips of his ears "It does not...disgust you that...that I have twice now lost control of my...err..."

Elladan snorted as he re-griped the young warrior "You are young Rumil, believe it or not, I did the same thing at your age...and at the most inopportune times I might add...do you know how difficult it is to try and keep some semblance of control when it happens in a council meeting?"

Rumil snorted, then sighed as Elladans lips claimed his. Moments later though, he stilled as the elder twin slowly reached down and began to unlace his leggings. Once open and pooled at his ankles, Rumil swallowed hard as Elladan wriggled his eyebrows "Oh my sweet little Rumil, here, let me clean that up for you hmm?" then dropped to his knees before him.

Rumil licked his lips nervously as he closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and lightly moaned as he gently placed his hand on the top of Elladans head "Oh Ell...Elladan aye...gen...saes be gentle...I have never done th...this..."

Without breaking contact, Elladan gently guided the young warrior to the ground as he continued his tender affections. Completely lost in the sensations, Rumil purred loudly as he squirmed beneath the elder twin "Oh...aye, saes aye like that...oh my...oh...my...oh!"

Feeling the pulsing begin, Elladan griped Rumils hip with one hand as the other gently fondled his tightening sacks, and as Elladan expected, his young love did not last long and wailed his name as he released down his throat.

Reaching up after the tremors subsided, Elladan tenderly stroked Rumils cheek as he dutifully cleaned him free of any seed. When the elder twin finally looked up into Rumils shocked eyes, he inwardly sighed when he read the pure and true love the young elf held for him.

Utterly ecstatic that the one he desired truly wanted him in return, Rumil burst into tears as he held out his arms "Hol...hold me? Saes Elladan saes hold me?"

Smiling from ear to ear, the elder twin laid down next to him and pulled him into his arms "Aye, come closer my sweet...my little one"

After a short time of cuddling, Rumils eyes flew wide and he gasped as he sat up "Oh Elladan, how...how insensitive of me, you must surely be in need of release! Let me do something"

As Rumils hand settled upon his laces, Elladan swiftly rolled away, then stood and backed a step "Nay Rumil I am fine"

Lowering his gaze, Rumil furrowed his brow "Do...do you not desire my touch?"

Sighing heavily, Elladan returned to his side "Tis not that I do not desire your touch my sweet one...I do. Tis that I do not wish to frighten you"

Rumil rolled his eyes and chuckled "Frighten me? Elladan, it is not as though I do not have one, how could yours frighten me"

Elladan groaned as he flopped back onto the grass "Believe me my dear Rumil, it could"

CHAP: 29

Glorfindel smirked as Erestor pulled him to one of the more secluded gardens "So what did you bring for us to eat, this basket is rather heavy my dark rabbit"

Erestor rolled his eyes and stopped "Are you truly going to continue calling me that"

The seneschal put down the basket and nodded as he pulled him into his arms "Aye, for the rest of our days you will be my Rabbit. The way you had at me...the strength and passion you displayed while you knelt behind me...I can not wait until you are comfortable enough with me to do that again...tho I would like for you to Not be on Cirdans evil brew next time"

Erestor blushed as he looked up "I must admit, I enjoyed it as well...I may have been drunk, but I do remember that having you beneath me was...sigh...I rather liked it"

Glorfindel smiled and gave him a tender kiss "Well, any time you wish for my submission, I will gladly comply at once"

Erestor snorted as he shook his head "Why does that not surprise me", then looked around "Now, is this spot alright with you?"

The golden warrior looked around at the secluded area and wriggled his eyebrows "Tis perfect, so what did Crabanwen prepare for us to eat"

The dark advisor shyly bit his lip as they sat down "She did not prepare the basket...I did"

Glorfindels smile was blinding "You told me during the bonding game that you enjoyed cooking...I look forward to sampling your effort"



Melpomaen blinked surprised when he opened his door and found the head healer standing there "Councilor Melpomaen, is it true that you are Haldir of Loriens lover?"

Shocked by the bluntness of the healer, Mel choked "He has never formally clamed me as such but aye I think we could considered at the least exclusive affectionate friends"

Pushing aside his thoughts that there may actually be a medical reason for the hurried and un paused way Mel speaks, the healer rolled his eyes "So in other words...aye, you are his lover"

The head healer then sighed and told Mel about Haldirs actions "I would like to get him Out of my healing chamber...I have had to use the ScratchThorn on him three times now. I thought that perhaps he would calm some if he was close to his love, may I leave him with you?"

Melpomaen nodded and moments later, Haldir was laid out on his bed. After the healers left, Mel let out a heavy sigh and grabbed some hithlain "If I know you at all my love what I am about to do will be the wisest course of action" then proceeded to tie Haldir to his bed and waited for him to wake.



Orophin stood nervously by the door, attempting to be as small as possible.

Noticing the tall warriors attempt, Miradel took a deep breath "I am going to sit on my balcony, you may join me Tree"

The Lorien warriors lip quirked at his new nickname, then slowly crossed the room and sat opposite the infamous elleth.

Thinking back to her time with Gildor, Miradel poured some tea "So, tell me Tree, what is your name?"

"Orophin"

"And you are a...wa...warrior?"

"Aye my lady, I am from a long line of warriors. My elder brother Haldir is Marchwarden, and my younger brother Rumil is a tracker"

Miradel tilted her head "And your specialty is?"

Orophin blinked "I...well I...uh...I fight"

Miradel rolled her eyes "You are a warrior, of course you fight...but do you have a specialty like your brothers...something that would make your superiors think "Hmm, we need Orophin for that", there must be something".

The tall warrior thought for a moment "Traps".

Erestors sister furrowed her brow "What kind, surely not for animals"

Orophin sat back and shook his head "Nay of course not, traps for orcs and the like...you know, ambush, surprise captures...exicuting strategic attacks, things like that...they never know what hit them until they wake bound".

Miradel trembled slightly as she poured more tea, her mind flashing back to the warriors who seemed to appear out of nowhere, and how she woke naked and bound to the top of a table.

Sensing the tormented elleths shifting mood, Orophin quickly but silently stood and stepped back a little.

Present awareness finally returning, Miradel swallowed hard, then noticed how Orophin had put some distance between them "Saes Tree...s...sit".

"Are you sure my lady? You seemed rather distressed and I do not wish to further upset you"

Forcing a smile, Miradel pointed to the chair he had been in "Havo dad Tree...saes".

The two of them sat in silence for a while until Miradel sighed "So tell me, how long have you been interested in Lindir"

Orophin slowly put his cup down "Well, Lord Glorfindels celebration was why I traveled here with my brothers. I have known Glorfindel since his return, he comes to Lothlorien from time to time due to his duty, but this is my first time here in Imladris, and today was my first attempt to speak with Lindir"

Miradel smiled "Have you had many...err...releationships?"

The tall warrior snorted and sat back "Aye, I have had a lover or two...though they were never for to long. They were kind elleths and we parted on friendly terms"

"E...elleths?"

"Aye my lady"

Miradel blinked and began to tremble again "I...I thought you were like Lindir and...and Melpomaen...and Gildor...I...I thought you preferd...ellons"

Suddenly, it dawned on Orophin that the only reason Miradel was somewhat comfortable with his presence, was because she had believed he had no interest in elleths.

Remaining completely still, Orophin took a deep breath "My lady, I have been in your chamber, alone with you for a fair amount of time now...do not my actions prove that I am trustworthy? Aye, I have only ever been with elleths...but Lindir...there is something about him...I find myself thinking about him and...and my heart hurts when he looks at me and I feel as though my legs are useless. I thought perhaps if I got to know him..."

Miradel held up her hand "It...it is alright Tree. I should not have assumed...and your actions thus far have been nothing but kind"

Letting out the breath he was holding, Orophin sat back and Miradel tilted her head "You say you know this Lord Glorfindel well...he is bound to my brother now and...and this makes me quite nervous. What can you tell me about him?"

Orophin shrugged "Only that he is the most honorable elf I have ever met, save my brother Haldir. Lord Glorfindel has some odd ways about him, but if you were in need, he is someone you would wish to be by your side"

Miradel sat forward "What do you mean...odd ways about him?"

The Lorien warrior sighed "Well, you must understand my lady, lord Glorfindel is from long ago. Times were much different when Gondolin stood. His honor is unmatched...he died saving elleths and elflings...and the Valar sent Him back...him...not Gil-Galad or any other honorable elf...they sent back Glorfindel. That should say something about his character. I was out patrolling our borders once when he was visiting, and we were attacked. He had nothing but a dagger with him and he killed more then myself and my fellows combined. He is...he was born to be a warrior, and he is the kind of warrior that others strive to be...including me".

Miradel sat back and nodded "He is so very big"

Orophin chuckled "Aye, that he is...I wrestled with him once. Even at My height and size, he won with little effort"

Sigh "My brother Erestor is far slighter then him though...it worries me"

"My lady, despite his size and such, lord Glorfindel is very gentle when it comes to those who are...err...weaker them him. He knows his own strength, he would never harm Master Erestor on purpose"

Orophin then cleared his throat "I have answered your question to the best of my ability, would you...would you tell me now, how long have you known Lindir?"

Miradel smiled, then sighed and shook her head "Lindir was with the party that Erestor and myself traveled with to the Grey Havens. He is between my and Erestors age, though I do not know his exact age"

Orophins eyes widened "I only know the rumors of what happened on your trip to the Havens, that you were...grievously harmed, and Master Erestor was...touched. But Lindir...err...was he..."

Miradel held up her hand "I will only say that Lindir is my dearest friend, and that..."

Miradel suddenly leapt from her chair and ran to the edge of her balcony when she heard a shriek. Orophin followed and when they both peered down into the garden, they saw Glorfindel, chasing Erestor around a bench.......

"Ahhh! Nay Findel nay!"

"Then you should Not have brought fruit and honey with you! Is your memory that short?!"

Miradel watched as Glorfindel whipped a honey covered strawberry at her brother, forcing him to remove his robe with haste...

"Ahhh! You are going to ruin another of my robes!"

"I will buy you a new one! Come back here you rabbit!"

"Ahhha!"

Miradel nervously gasped as Glorfindel leapt and tackled her little brother to the ground "Saes Tree, tell me again that Glorfindel is honorable! Saes!"

Orophin gently placed his hand on her shoulder "My lady, they are playing...look at how Glorfindel has picked up your brother and is now twirling him around in his arms...he is not hurting him"

Miradel suddenly blinked in shock when her little brother shoved Glorfindel to the ground "There is no way he could have done that"

"Nay my lady, not even I could get Glorfindel unbalanced, do you see? Glorfindel Let him do that...and now he is letting him...oh...Valar I...I think they need some privacy"

As Orophin swiftly retreated into her chamber, Miradel stood and watched for a few more moments, her eyes widening as the great warrior rolled over onto his stomach, then lifted himself to his hands and knees on his own as Erestor knelt behind him.

Orophin noted the shocked look on her face when she slowly entered the chamber "Glorfindel is willingly being submissive to my brother. Erestor told me that he had done this before but I did not believe him. I thought he was only trying to ease my fears. But now, having seen it, I...and they were chasing one another and being playful...Glorfindel was throwing food at him and...and Erestor was laughing and..."

Miradel flopped down into a chair and just shook her head.

Orophin moved closer and took the chair next to her "As I said my lady...lord Glorfindel is the type of warrior other strive to be like. He is passionate and kind"



Melpomaen quickly stood from the bed and took a deep breath as Haldir opened his eyes "Wha...Mel?"

"Do not be angry my love your being bound is for your own good we can not have you running around beating your brother so just relax because you are going to be here for a while or at least until you calm down some"

Haldir tried to shake is head from the fogginess caused by the sleep draft, for listening to his love speak required total concentration "Mel...untie me"

"I can not do that my love you are angry right now and as I said you can not be running around when you have ill intent on your mind"

Haldir sighed as he tried to pull on the hithlain "Mel...if you let me loose, I promise that I will not harm Orophin, tul now...untie me"

Melpomaen crossed his arms over his chest and slowly shook his head "Nay"

Knowing that look, Haldir slowly rested his head back on the pillow, resigning himself to the fact that he was going to be there a while.....

CHAP: 30

Cirdan dropped the book on Elrohirs hand speech as he jerked awake in his chair. Glancing over to the amused face of his young love as he sharpened his sword, the ancient lord sat up straight "Valar, how long did I fall asleep for?"

Hand Movement

"Mmm...do that again, was the first word 'little'?"

Elrohir smiled as he nodded, then repeated the motions a little slower....

Hand Movement

"Ahh, a 'little while', am I right?"

The younger twin nodded, then slowly crawled over, slapped him in the face, then tore open his robe and swiftly took him into his mouth.

Cirdan sighed as he settled back in his chair "Well, this is a lovely reward for being correct"

Elrohir slowly released Cirdans member from his mouth, then looked up and took a deep breath "Whaht Cirdah"

The ancient lord watched as Elrohir winced and rubbed his throat "You want me? In what way my dinmir" then smacked his hand down hard on the arm of the chair "Speak!"

"Whaht..."

"Want...speak!"

"Wh...waht...wannnt"

Cirdan yanked him close and crushed a possessive kiss to his lips, then pulled back "Very very good my love" then handed Elrohir the pad of paper "Now, how do you want me?"

ScribbleScribble

"You wish to have at me? Truly?"

The younger twin nodded and Cirdan sighed as he gently stroked his jaw "I must admit, I have been looking forward to you subjecting me to that impressive monster of yours"

ScribbleScribble

"Aye, I would have to agree, you Are rather fortunate that I enjoy pain"

ScribbleScribble

"Rumil? That fair and tiny elf? Ooo...aye, Elladan best be careful"



Due to Elladan wishing for a slow pace, Rumil paused in his tracking to admire some wildflowers. Happy for the pause, the elder twin took a few steps away, then opened his leggings and began to relieve himself.

Still intrigued that Elladan thought his member would frighten him, Rumil began to nonchalantly walk through the flowers, then glanced over.

From his new vanige point, the youngest of three choked as he droped his jaw "E...Elladan?"

Elladan cringed and slowly looked over as he laced up his leggings "Aye?"

Approaching slowly, Rumil took a deep breath "T...tell me, was that...uh...fully...you know, erect?"

Heavy sigh "Nay Rumil, that was completely flaccid"

The young warrior furrowed his brow "Let me see, open your leggings again"

Elladan closed his eyes and whispered sadly "I...I was hopeing this fantasy would last a little longer" then slowly opened and dropped his leggings.

"Blessed...uh...is uh...is that from being half-elven? I mean, are edain that large?"

Elladan shook his head "Elves are actually larger on average then edain. Elrohir and I take after our adar...he is...adar is actually bigger then this"

Noticing a few silent tears falling from Elladans eyes, Rumil swallowed hard as he looked back down, then tilted his head "What did you mean when you said that you were hopeing this fantasy would have lasted longer?"

The elder twin pulled his leggings back up and sighed "I had a lover once. He was a large warrior, taller then me and stronger even. When he finally decided to let me have at him I...I tried to be gentle but...I put him in the healing wing for a week. I truly care for you Rumil...you are so intelligent and fair. However, you are young, and rather slight. I do not want to hurt you my sweet one, my fair Rumil. In reality, this is folly...I could not bare the grief of hurting you...and I Will hurt you"

Rumil suddenly stepped forward "Are you breaking up with me before we have even begun properly?"

"Rumil I..."

The young warrior instantly wrapped his arms around his waist "Nay Elladan, we are together and that is that. I accept you as my intended. And as far as your...uh...impressive bulk is concerned, we will figure something out"

"But Rumil you..."

"Shh...do you love me?"

"Aye"

"Then this discussion is over"

Elladan looked into his loves determined eyes and sighed as he hugged him back "Aiyah you are stubborn, you are definitely related to Haldir, there is no doubt about that"

Rumil snorted as he nuzzled into Elladans neck "You should see when the three of us fight over the last scrap at mealtime"



Gildor paused in his walking and tilted his head "We are being followed, though their pace is slow"

Legolas swiftly walked over to a tree and began to whisper. After a few moments, he looked back "Tis Elladan, and another the trees do not know...and aye, they have a leisure pace, but are tracking us"

Gildor sighed as he shook his head "I told you your adar would have you retrieved. You must go back"

The young prince dropped his satchel and crossed his arms "Not without you"

"Aiyah you are your adars ion...verry well. I will return with you. Shall we begin back and meet them or..."

"Nay my love, we will camp here and wait for them. According to the trees, at their pace, they will not reach us until tomorow...Elladan is my friend, he is obviously giving us time together"

Gildor tilted his head "And you know that how?"

"Because my lord, he is the crown prince here and could have asked the trees to hide his presence from me. Elladan knows I speak with trees, and would know that I would be asking if we were being followed at some point. He is not hiding his approach"

The elven lord pulled Legolas close and gave him a kiss "I love you Legolas"

"And I you Gildor, we will face my adar together"



Haldir grumbled as Mel completely ignored him and finished the last bit of paperwork he had.

"Mel? Mel could you come over here a moment?"

"Are you going to beg for me to untie you because I will not so do not even try"

Haldir rolled his eyes "Nay, I need to...will you come over here...saes?"

The young councilor crossed the room and sat on the edge of the bed "Alright Haly what do you need"

"I need to relieve myself"

Melpomaen snorted "Nice try Haly but I will not fall for that trick so daro now because I am not going to untie you"

Haldir licked his lips and lightly squirmed "I mean it Mel, I need to relieve myself"

The young councilor sighed and walked over to a cabinet, then returned with a large smile on his face as he held out an empty flower vase "Alright my warrior love if you must you must now hold still"

The marchwarden groaned as Melpomaen unlaced his leggings and yanked them down to his ankles "Mel! You can not truly expect me to...Ooo! Valar that thing is cold!"

"Alright my love get on with it because this is the only resource available to you"

Once Haldir was finished, Mel arched his brow "You know Haly I have often wondered what is would be like to have you at my mercy my big strong marchwarden helpless at my hands"

Haldirs eyes widened as Melpomaen opened his tunic and underlay, exposing him fully "Not funny Mel"

The young councilor smirked as he leaned over and licked Haldir from his growing arousal to his chin "Oh aye I think I could get used to this Haly"

Shedding his robe and leggings, Mel slowly climbed onto the bed and straddled his lover "I would request for you to hold onto something my love but you are bound"

Haldir moaned as Mel stroked him until he was fully hard, then closed his eyes and sighed when his love sat down upon his arousal "Mel..."

The young councilor bit his lip as he began to move atop his love "Oh Haly aye you are so beautiful why have you never placed me in this position before you are so deep my marchwarden my warrior aye I love you my lover!"

Haldir arched his back as he pulled hard on the hithlain "I do not know why, but we are...Argh...definitely going to do this again!"

Melpomaen licked his lips as he placed his hands on Haldirs chest, slamming himself down hard over and over as Haldir thrust up to meet his demanding pace "Aye you are so strong my love my warrior I want more of you I want you so deep in me that we are one!"

"I would if I could Mel but...I am limited at the...moment...you...dam you Mel, faster...argh!"

Not slowing in his pace, Melpomaen whispered the command for his hithlain to release and once it did, now freed, Haldir put his legs together and grabbed Mels hips.

Thrusting hard, Haldir growled loudly "Dont...you...ever...tie...me...up...again!"

Moving to sit up straight, Mel gasped as he took the pounding "I wont I wont I promise oh Hal aye Haly aye harder harder aye faster aye my love deeper oh Valar Haldir Haly my Hal my warrior have me have me blessed Valar Haldir!!"

As Melpomaen released, Haldir quickly placed a hand on his lovers chest to keep him from falling, then growled loudly as he spilled his seed deep within his swift tongued love.

Gently guiding him down to his side, Haldir pulled Mel into his arms as he panted "Oh we are going to Definitely use that position again!"

Mel wrapped his arms around him "Agreed oh I love you Haldir I love you you are so strong my warrior"

Haldir snorted as he squeezed him tight "How you can be out of breath, and still speak like that"

Melpomaen quickly looked into the marchwardens eyes and licked his lips "You are unbound now Haly and more then capable of overpowering me saes do not set out to find your brother stay"

Haldir sighed and settled close "Shhh...I am going nowhere, my place is by your side"

(More to be posted) Our girl is growing by leaps and bounds. She stands and sits and stands and sits and stands and sits. She lets go and stands unsupported for ten seconds at a time. She loves being upside down* and in water, but not at the same time. She screams bloody murder when we leave her at daycare. She bites if she gets a chance to sink her 3.5 teeth into sweet flesh. She does this weird air-biting thing that makes her look like a moray eel.**


Skipper loves having her cheek gently stroked. She dances like an epileptic woodpecker. She loves books - one of her teachers told me that Skipper's the only baby in the room who will sit for the reading of entire (super-short and simple board) book. I'm very proud.

She's different than her sister was. I vividly remember one morning when Dutch was around this age when we went out for breakfast with another couple and their baby, who was very close in age. Their baby was adorable and flirted and made happy baby noises and threw stuff on the ground, and just acted like Your Basic Adorable Baby model. Our baby sat in her high chair and fussed obsessively with a grimy pack of miniature cards that was her favorite toy at the time, looking up occasionally to glower like a grumpy old man at the poker table. She wasn't interested in throwing stuff. Or dancing. (She did like books, though.) She was careful with objects and actions. She was interested in Doing Things Correctly, Even if They're Very Strange Things. Skipper throws stuff. And flirts. She's more like Your Basic Adorable Baby model than Your Weirdo Scowling Baby model. I'm sure her weirdo tendencies will become evident in due time, and to us, the whole romping flirty baby thing actually seems sort of weird, since we haven't had one of those before.



*One of my fabulous cousins used to love being upside down. When we were kids, he would lie blissfully on his back on a parent's lap with his head hanging down. We would have thought this was weird, except that we already knew he was weird, and anyway he could beat everybody else at brainiac games like chess, possibly due to all the blood directed to his head, so we probably figured that he knew something we didn't.

**Seriously.
