Title: Musings in the Marketplace
Author: Dragonphyre
Timeline: During the period where Elrond and Gil Galad were in the marketplace.
Warnings: AU(man, I totally forgot about THIS warning, too!), Slash (Slashhaters: Run off already). Silly thoughts. Nervous Gil Galad. OOC. LOTS OF OOC!!
Summary: What WAS Gil Galad thinking while he and Elrond were in the marketplace?
Author’s Notes: Haha, I couldn’t resist. I am strangely fascinated by a giddy and nervous Gil Galad. And yes, I’m insane. I question it constantly.
Why did I type this? Because I found some time in college to type out a small ficlet thingy. So enjoy it.
… signifies that a rather lengthly conversation or time period has passed.
*blah* signifies an action by Gil Galad. But it happens only twice.
Aeglos: Gil Galad’s lance.
“blah” are usually other people saying stuff or what Gil Galad reads.

Hn… A note from father. “Your presence will be most appreciated when the ambassador arrives.”
Ugh… I don’t want to go. I’m tired of politics. Can’t I just go do something else?
I’m going to ask father if I could do so.
…
Nope. Father won’t let me. “You have been High King for years. Don’t tell me that you’ve forgotten all the responsibilities that came with it.”
Argue with father over the fact that I am NOT the High King. He is.
Failed. “Now really, this ambassador hasn’t been to Lindon for years. Don’t you want to show how much we willing accept him by having both the High King and his son present when he arrives?”
Wishing to tell father that I don’t care, but I can’t. I want desert tonight. And it’s chocolate cake with flower crust. I’d really like some.
…
Standing at the gates of the
Father said that the ambassador will be here in a few minutes. Good! I can’t stand this collar. I wish to soon return to my chambers to use Aeglos to take my revenge upon this offending part of clothing. And I’m going through my clothes to see if any others exist so I can eliminate them all.
Ah… I see the small escort approaching. Hmm… That’s my father’s elite guard. Must be very important, if the regular royal escort aren’t being used…
By the Valar! It can’t be…
IT IS!
Okay, calm down. Don’t panic.
He’s off the horse, and he’s walking towards father…
NO, TOWARDS ME~! YES~!!!!
Okay, greet him, smile. Oh, he smiled back! His smile makes him beautiful.
GAH~! Stop, or father will make me say something!
Watching father greet him. Looks like he was the ambassador. I never knew he could work as one…
Father just suggested that I show him around Lindon. Alone. YES!
Hmm? He’s giving me something… Ah, it is the account of the events that happened while I was in Mandos’ Halls.
Okay, walking, talking. Don’t know what I’m saying. All I’m paying attention to is the fact that he’s HERE and he’s smiling…
Showed him the new wing. He’s impressed with the new design of the structure.
…
Things are flying by so quickly. Now we’re in the marketplace, browsing around. So glad it’s not crowded at the moment. Otherwise, I fear I may lose him in the sea of people.
He’s looking away now. Time for my mental mantra: I will NOT panic. I will NOT panic. I will NOT panic…
He’s looking at me again. Revert to normal mode.
Still walking, still talking. I love his voice…
Gah~! I have to stop thinking like a love-struck turtle!!!
…Wait. Do turtles love? Hmm…
Oh, he sees something.
Hmm… He looks like he really wants that blue book.
What is it…?
Ah, a book on ancient alchemy. Quite interesting.
Huh? Why will he not get it? I believe that he can quite afford it…
Oh, he has not the coin on him at the moment to make the purchase.
…IDEA!
Telling him I will buy the book for him.
He refused. Drat…
Quick, think of a way to persuade him!
Ah! Tell him that it’s repayment for the account.
Tell him so. Watch his reaction.
YES! HE AGREED!
Paying for book, and I think I have a weird-looking smile on my face as I do so. The seller is looking at me strangely.
Well, that’s alright. I am too damn happy to do anything else.
Giving the wrapped book to him. He’s smiling, and it’s for ME!
If I was alone right now, I’d be dancing like that love-struck turtle I was thinking of earlier.
…Okay, now what’s with my obsession with love-struck turtles?!!!
Back to the present. Walking towards the gardens. Showing him some of the flowers and other foliage that I like. He seems happy with me doing that.
Hm… Shall I ask him to go to dinner with me now?
Do I dare?
…
Well, here goes nothing.
I asked him. He seems to be considering…
Please, don’t say no…
…
YES!! HE SAID YES!!
Must keep composure. Must stay calm. Stay. Calm.
Saying farewell now. He’s going to his own chambers in the guest wing.
Offered to go with him to his rooms. He shook his head. Aww…
Watched him go. I left the gardens as well.
As soon as I was out of his earshot, I dropped my composure and started smiling. Probably look like an idiot again.
Don’t care.
Is to happy to care.
I’m sprinting to my rooms to express myself in a much more energetic manner that probably involves laughing and maybe more idiotic smiles.
Walking pass a stairway that leads to the tower that I think leads to the highest tower in the castle. Saw father standing there with a grin on his face. Why is he grinning?
Bah, I don’t care at the moment.
I nearly smashed the door open as I charge into my room, then probably weakened the hinges in my haste to close it again and lock it.
Now I shall have my laugh.
…
Okay, good laugh. I think I hurt a rib on when I fell onto the floor, but oh well. It’s for a good cause.
Hmm… What shall I do now? I have no duties today, and it’s only tomorrow’s dinner that I should be concerned about…
Ah, I’ll go online.
*puts on computer*
Hmm… I want to tell somebody the good news. But who?
“How to make the Perfect Muffin” chatroom?! Must be Celeborn…
“Sexy Elves R Us” chatroom?! Must be either Haldir or Rumil.
HUH?! “Topic: How to seduce half-elves”?!!
Note to self: KILL HALDIR. MUST INCLUDE LOTS OF PAIN.
“
I’ll tell him!
*click*
~*~
Haha!
I apologize to those who think I totally whacked Gil Galad out of character to the point of insult.
But the idea whacked me on the head while I was mentally checking off a shopping list for college. Couldn’t help it.
The fifth chapter of Chatroom: No Nonelves Allowed! will come out during or after next weekend.
Please review? Pretty please with the flower crusted chocolate cake? (which strangely sounds yummy to me. O.o; )
