BENEATH THE TABLE, part 2
Another evening.
And another meeting.
The two elflings were hiding beneath the table. With a bag of mice. And a bag of snakes.
Elrond spoke of darkness approaching them. At least he did until a handful of terrified little mice began to scurry out from beneath one of the tables. It took half an hour to rid the room of vermin and to begin again.
Shortly after that, many little snakes began to slither hither and yon. Even small snakes are scary to some and both elves and men began to cry out in alarm and run from the room until only Elrond and two small hidden elflings remained.
Elrond spoke to the unseen children. “I thank you for rescuing me this time but I shall require your attendance at all of my meetings from now on if this ever happens again.”
From that evening forward, the sons of Elrond were content to study some of Master Erestor’s history after dinner. Sometimes they did their mathematics. They’d even play with Arwen if pressed into it. They drank imaginary tea and danced with her dolls now and then.
Anything, it seemed, was better than a meeting in the Hall of Fire.
