She grinned as he grabbed the ale. Then led him out of the gates of Rivendell. "I am wondering if we will hear from neighboring cities and kingdoms. That Orc attack reminded me of the other one. Something has to be driving them. Orcs do not just attack randomly like that."

''I think you may be right. I also can't help but wonder if those in Gondor know we are now here in a position of power''
He took a swig of the ale, thinking.

"they certainly would not send orcs!" she exclaimed, "I do wonder though if they will do anything, and if they will I wonder why they have not." she pursed her lips in thought "Do you fear an attack?"

''I did not mean that. I would not think so either.'' he paused, considering her question.
An attack? He wasn't sure, but he doubted it.
''I do not think so. I doubt they would risk a war nor ally themselves with orcs just for two people, no matter their crimes''

She nodded. "At least with Elthor dead, the risk of him convincing them to attack is none." she looked out through the trees. "I doubt they will ally with Rivendell now, though. Unless their need of an elven army is great." she suddenly thought "Do you remember the first attack? When we decided to go to Gondor and warn them? Remember I said we could also find out the cause for the attacks as well? Perhaps we should take that path now."

He wasn't entirely sure. Would that be safe? He spoke after thinking it over.
''I think that for now we shouldn't do anything just yet. If we get reports of orcs massing again then we shall act. Also, you shouldn't risk yourself in your condition.''

She sighed, knowing he was right. But they were invincible now. She just wondered that if they waited for another attack if it would be too late. "I don't like waiting." she sighed out gently, looking at the ground they were walking on.

He put his arm around her and pulled her closer as they walked.
''Do not worry,angel. All shall be all right. Remember,you must think of the child as well now''

"I know. I'm just not use to it." she wrapped her arm around his waist, enjoying it as they walked. "I shall grow use to it in time." she grew silent as they walked, enjoying the sun and the scenery. "I wonder how soon we will get letters from other kingdomes, either asking to ally or just to get acquainted with us, the new rulers."

''Soon perhaps. We shall have to wait and see. Though they may not know we have taken rule''
He gave her a grin before he picked her up and continued walking, enjoying every second.

She laughed "Do you really enjoy carrying me that much?" she nuzzled his neck as her arms came around his shoulders. She giggled as she again remembered their first kiss, her mind going to those first days. They had certainly fallen in love quickly. But it had been worth it, it had been the best thing that had ever happened to her.

He nodded.
''I treat you such because you are my queen.''
He paused before quickly adding.
''My queen, who's cooking I love and can not get enough of'' he said, somewhat sheepishly as he recalled how she had him earlier.

She giggled some more, then flicked the end of his nose with her index finger "Excellent response." she pecked his cheek, still laughing. "You are learning fast, my king." she teased and tugged on his earlobe with her teeth.

He smiled and kissed her before speaking.
''You too shall learn soon enough'' he said, with an evil grin at her.
He let out an audible gasp as she nipped his ear.

She grinned as he gasped, then grazed her teeth against his skin right under his skin, letting out a small, kitten like growl. "Learn what, my king? I cook for you, clean up after you, respect you, and love you. What else is there to learn?" her tongue traced where her teeth had been as she smiled.

He blinked repeatedly as his breathing quickened.
''You shall see'' he said evilly. He realized that it had been ages since he had had her, but in her condition it wouldn't be wise. He would live, for now.
