Silly Interlude
by Beryll
Characters talking in my head:
Boromir (looking over Beryll's shoulder): "So when will
you get back to Aragorn and me?"
Beryll (tries to concentrate on the story)
Boromir: "Juhu? Are you listening? You know, it's no fun to stay in bed
and wait for the king to come by. I want to get well again. I want to go out
and do heroic things, too."
Aragorn (worried): "Stop bitching or she will do something horrible to
you again."
Beryll (smiles evilly)
Boromir: "Nah, she wouldn't do that. She loves me."
Aragorn (darkly): "Does she?"
Boromir: "Not like that, stupid. She loves the two of us together. Don't
you, Beryll?"
Beryll (thinks "Faramir, need to concentrate on Faramir!")
Boromir: "Anyway, what's next? Do we get to spend a honeymoon, or something
like that...?"
Aragorn: "Love, we have a war coming at us. You remember?"
Boromir: "Oh, right. Does Arwen die?"
Aragorn (whacks Boromir over the head)
Boromir: "Just joking! Doesn't anybody around here have any sense of
humor?"
Aragorn (glaring): "That was not funny. I love her, you know?"
Boromir (grumbles to himself)
Beryll (hides her face in her hands)
Aragorn: "See, now you have made her angry. Now she will do something
terrible to us..."
Beryll (turns around): "Why don't the two of you just go ahead and get
started without me? I'll be along with my notepad soon..."
Boromir (beaming): "See, she just needed a bit of encouragement!"
(drags a doubtful looking Aragorn away)
Faramir: "I hope you are not really going after then...?"
Beryll (hugs Faramir): "Of course not. Wouldn't leave you like that,
would I? And I'm pretty sure, they will not notice me missing..."
