*In the Banquet Hall of the High Elves of Lorien there was a lot of buzzing and mumbling among all the High Elves, both male and female that were gathered there.
Captain Haldir was back in Lorien, and had without problems got back his position as the Highest Commander of The Elven Army. It was his men that had requested this Banquet, to show their gratitude that the Captain was back. Haldir was a battle-hardened warlord and well respected among his men, as well as his fellow High Elves.
All the elven ladies had been arguing about who should be Haldir's date for the evening. Escorting him to an even like this, would be a great honor. But he hadn't asked any of them. And now they were here, waiting eagerly to see who Haldir's mysterious date was....
Finally Captain Haldir entered the room, looking more handsome than ever in his Captain's uniform. Now he turned to help a beautiful lady through the door. The lady was....*

*Anastasia stepped nervously into the room. While she'd certainly seen plenty of elves while in Lorien, she'd never seen a large number of them all at once and in one great big gathering. It was almost overwhelming, seeing them all, especially those ladies scurtinizing her too closely...
She shot a glare in their directions, causing some to quickly pretend not to be staring. Her nervousness quickly vanished--elves they may be, but they were still nobles, and Anastasia was quite adept at dealing with them. She entered the room with Haldir, head held high*
"This is beautiful room," she said, voice low. "I'm glad I've come back."

*Haldir appeared in the room, walking side by side with Anastasia. The only woman he had his eyes on was her...*
"A beautiful room for a beautiful woman."
*He said quietly and looked deeply into her eyes.*
"I am glad you came back."

"I'm glad I'm back, too." She said simply.

*Haldir looked at her and smiled.*
"I think the dancing will start later. On these banquets there are always food and drinks first, then the entertainment, and the ball is the finishing touch. Or so my men tell me."

"Well, I look forward to the entertainment--I've never heard Elven poetry or seen elven actors."
*She eyed the table full of food*
"But I remember the cuisine, and definitely miss it."

*Haldir smiled.*
"Well, they are not bad, I must admit. But sometimes I miss a tad of humor in the entertainment."
*He leaned over to Anastasia to whisper.*
"Sometimes they take themselves too seriously. No fun at all!"
*Some elved looked over at Anastasia, wrinkling their noses disapprovingly by seeing a human lady at their Captain's side. Haldir gritted his teeth when he noticed, and just for the hell of it, he took Anastasias tiny hand and placed it on his arm, placing his right hand over hers, as if they were engaged. Many of the other elves gasped loudly when they noticed what he did, and Haldir smiled smugly.*
"My beautiful lady, allow your humble Captain to escorte you to your dinner."

"Thank you, my good man." She said, flashing a "I-dare-you-to-say-something" look at the elven women.
"And...you don't have comedians in Lorien?"

*Haldir glanced around at all the elves gathered in the room. A devilish sense of humor appeared in his eyes, and he whispered to Anastasia.*
"Sometimes I think we have nothing but comedians."

"Like you?"

*Haldir snickered with laughter, and there was a glimpse of humor in his eyes as well.*
"Especially like me."

"They better watch out, then. The others might not know what hit them when it comes to Haldir's sense of humor!"

*Haldir laughed and guided Anastasia gently to the table. A couple of Elven ladies gave Anastasia angry scowles. To tease them, Haldir gave Anastasia an extra warm glance, as if she was his betrothed. The ladies gasped as Haldir lifted Anastasias hand and kissed it as he looked deeply into her eyes.*
"This reminds me of the first time we dated. Do you remember the restaurant?"
*He whispered in her ear, making it look like he was whispering far more intimate things to her. He knew that the elven ladies were watching them, and wanted to tease them.*

*She beamed.*
"How could I forget? A lovely dance in the garden."

*Haldir smiled to her and looked into her eyes.*
"Would you grant me a dance in the garden this evening as well?"
