"It's not really necessary for you to do this every time" she pointed out. "I know that you have an image to maintain, but you're wasting all this charm on me. It's just not appreciated."
"Oh but without wit and charm what are we if not savages? No I shall continue to hope that one day I may find a line that will win you to my cause." He grinned winningly. "There has to be something I can say."
"How about 'goodbye Fae, I am leaving you alone, and taking my inane remarks with me'?" she said grumpily.
"Oh," he grunted cheerfully, grasping his chest as if in pain. "And the dark girl scores a bull's eye. I suppose wonderboy always says the right thing?"
She blushed, then grew angry with herself for letting him see one of his jibes had hit home. "Leave Legolas out of this."
"And he equalises. So wonderboy means something to you? Fae you know you can't afford to develop feelings for one of them. Haven't you learnt anything from me?"
"Oh yes, I've learnt many things from you. Just nothing worthwhile. And I'm not developing feelings for him. He's a friend, that's all."
"Really? I know you better than anyone alive. You like him; alot. That's why we must leave quickly. But before we go I don't suppose you'd mind introducing me to your wonderboy?"
"Can you stop calling him that! And no. There is nothing on this earth that will move me to inflict you on him."
"Please. I think you owe me this, Fae. I won't even call him wonderboy to his face. I'll be polite I promise. I'll charm him with my wit and sincerity. Come on Fae."
"You're never sincere. And the answer's still no."
"Never sincere? Now we both know that's not true. But in this case I am mearly playing the concerned older brother. I want to see the elf that you deemed worthy of yourself. Yes, I know that you are not developing feelings for him. But even if you are only willing to befriend him he must be something special. It's just cruel to deny me a chance to talk with this wonderboy."
"You're going to keep asking me until i give in, aren't you?"
"Probably. I'm as stubborn as you are and you know that. Now let's go find the kid."
"He's not a kid."
"Faeirex he must be less than three thousand years old. It's really of no matter though if, as you assure me, you don't have feelings for him. But if you insist I shall be civil. His essense is everywhere in this room. It'll make him easy to locate."
"You can do that? When did you learn to do that?"
"I pick things up around. I'm not entirly useless you know." He closed his eyes in concentration. "He's sulking in one of the rooms down this corridor. You may not feel that way about him, but..."
"Stop insinuating. There's no need to be quite so affable. It makes me suspicious." She sighed. "If we go find him, do you promise not to do anything stupid?"
"I never behave stupidly. Every word, every gesture is carefully considered before being shown to the outside world. This meeting could be very interesting."
