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..."
