The Lay of Arwen Undomiel

Chapter 2: Act Two.

by LuthienTinuviel

I’m poor. I don’t own anything except my words, so Tolkien keep your characters and leave my way of prose to me. Hurrah for Act Two.

Act Two.

(In the ‘loft’)

Aragorn : (walks to and fro, anxiously waiting) Ah, my lady Arwen, lady fair!
Will you keep your words, the hope I bear?
Your lips as red as a wound bleeding,
Queenly* is your poise and bearing,
Eyes of my Mother’s dress, hair lacking light,
Will you consent to be mine tonight?

Arwen : (appears out of nowhere) Here am I, Aragorn son of Arathorn.
of whom my heart and flesh not unlike a thorn.

Aragorn : (surprised but then exulted) Arwen, fair Arwen, is mine eyes lying?
You are here, as mine, wanting.

Arwen : As real as it’ll ever be, you swine,
Now be swift, waste not my time.

Aragorn : (grabs Arwen) Swift uttered you, it is your wish?

Arwen : Mayhap my Father finds out, before we are missed!

Aragorn : (balked) Lord Elrond would know, he see far and wide.

Arwen : (impatient) Mind you Estel, wait not the tide!
Or I’ll leave right this instant!

Aragorn : Am I not, dearest, to you important?

Arwen : It is not worth the wrath of my Father!

Aragorn : Do you truly not wish to falter?

Arwen : (as if scolding a child) Keep to your promise! No less than twice!

Aragorn : You’ve never yet yet---

Arwen : (cuts in quickly) I’ve had a three elves thrice!

Aragorn : (shocked) Three?

Arwen : (drily)They’re fine elves, so let the matter be.
Now the matter currently is still at hand,
(mockingly)Let’s see how elves are bested by men.

Aragorn : (still couldn’t believe it) You desire it such, lady?
Ah, come on to me baby!

Arwen : (antagonised) Now sing, recite poetry, whatever’s your forte,
Let’s see the man you wished to portray.

Aragorn : (flabbergasted) You expect me to sing to you?
Recite poetry too?

Arwen : What else did you think, am I not Elrond’s child?
Think I’d pick just any elf-or man from the wild?

Aragorn : I…I…I… (Stuttered in embarrassment)
I think I’d simply die.

Arwen : (puzzled).

*When Aragorn mentioned queenly, he was referring to a female cat during mating season.

End of Act 2
