The sound of his hands meeting rang across the still training grounds, in a loud steady beat.
"Well fought. Well fought indeed."
The tall elf climbed over into the fencing area and offered his hand to the soldier on the floor. "You'll have to get up earlier than this my friend to get the better of her."
He smiled warmly and turned to the other. "And you, you liked the dresses? And yet you are not wearing one. Next time I shall get you a sword instead although it appears you have one already. One you are using to great advantage. It has been too long. How are you?"
She cast a glance at the crowd standing by, fully aware that there was little she could do about this unwelcome intruder. She couldn't get rid of him without having to answer some very awkward questions, and she doubted that he'd agree to go anyway. She kept her voice civil. "I am well enough." Motioning for him to step aside with her she hissed, "What are you doing here? You agreed to stay away from me!"
"That agreement was made on an understanding. That understanding has not been met therefore you get the pleasure of my lovely company. Besides," he winked rogishly "I missed you and an eternity spent without your insults has become rather dull. I'm really rather hurt that you are reacting this way."
"Drop the act." she snapped. "You're forgetting that I actually know you."
"The act? Again you wound me. Will it never end?" His eyes twinkled. "You haven't changed a bit. You're still the child I knew, but then I guess that's what I love about you."
"You haven't changed either. You're still the same arrogant, insufferable-"
He cut her off.
"We can list my virtues another time. Right now we need to talk."
"We are talking." He tried to take her hand but she flinched away.
"Properly." He rested his hand on her shoulder. "This is far too important for you to waste time in this fashion. Is there somewhere we can go where we won't be disturbed?"
She looked around, searching for an excuse but having none to give. "We can go to my rooms."
She looked over at Legolas apologetically, wishing she could explain, before turning back and beckoning for the visitor to follow her.
