Subject: summonned... Author: Legolas [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:47:40 03/20/02 Wed The blonde elf walked towards the throne room at a leisurely pace. Not many people would dare to keep the King of Gondor waiting, but Legolas was sure of his limits. He trod lightly, his soft-shot feet making no sound on the stone floors. Beside him tramped the dwarf, Gimli, sounding as usual like a batallion of knights approaching. The two made an odd pair, one tall, handsome and graceful, one...well...less so. Some distance in front of them followed the harried-looking Vomyr. Two weeks in the company of Aragorn, and already a nervous wreck. Not that it was the king's fault of course- it was simply that nature had seen fit to give him the patience span of a small terrier, and all the tact of a grizzly bear. Occasionally, Legolas felt some sympathy for his friend, but most of the time he preferred to smartly remind him that it was a course he had chosen for himself. Many would have thought the elf brave to try that and it was true, he was. Practically however, the reason he tried iot was because he knew he could move faster than Aragorn, and get out of the way in time. Another man might have been exiled for such stunts, but the lighthearted elf brought a touch of humor to an otherwise solemn court, so his friend let it pass. The valet opened the door, and Legolas entered. Bowing low with a flourish (unnecessary between the friends but another point that could always be used to bait the frustrated king) he asked reverently "You sent for us, my Lord. How may we be of service?" And if it weren't for the smile twitching on his lips and the faint hint of sarcasm in his voice, it might have sounded genuine.

[> Subject: The meeting Author: Aragorn [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:30:58 03/20/02 Wed Aragorn moved his feet off the table and regarded the two very different people standing across from him who had become so important in his life. The dwarf had his axe belted onto his back although there was no need for it. He stood silent waiting for Aragorn to speak. The cocky elf next to him finnished his floral bow and opened his mouth to speak but Aragorn held up his hand. This meeting was informal but that was no need to disrespect a king, or one of your best friends for that matter. "I trust Vomyr explained the situation to you." Once again Legolas started to speak, once again Aragorn waved him silent. "Obviously he has. You are both from great families of your own. You know the pressures of ruling. They have fallen on me hard." Aragorn tried to ingore the snorts of laughter but it was infectious after weeks shut in this room. "Oh gods, how I've missed you" "And we you, lord." The ever curtious Gimli replied. "My dear dwarf, can I not be your friend rather than just your king?" "Aye, Aragorn you can." "Good. As your king I could command you to go and retrive the hobbits from their holes but as your friend I ask it of you. Will you travel to the Shire and arrange this meeting to help a weary king?"
