Idril looked at Peter squarely. "Now, that it is the second time I am hearing an expression like this. What do you mean he found me." Her voice was agitated
Instead of reacting to her tone, Peter looked at her nonchalantly.
"Who was the first one?"
"What?"
"Who was the first one to have used this expression with you?"He asked again which made Idril realize her mistake. She couldn't possibly admit that she had eavesdropped on Feanor and probably his ex girlfriend. She clamped her lips. Peter saw the look and gave a small knowing smile. He looked so much like his older brother at that instant.
"Want to dance?" Without waiting for her answer, he ushered her onto the dance floor. He set up a slow rhythm.
"So Miss Idril. Let us get properly acquainted. My brother doesn't tell me much about you. He didn't anyone actually anything."
Idril raised her eyebrows. "hence this is the Spanish inquisition?"
Peter Frasier couldn't help laughing. "No, no. Don't get offended. Feanor will have our head if he knew we offended his, well, you know."
Idril chose to ignore how Peter didn't put a label on her and Feanor's relationship. She knew it was going to be awkward with his family. But at least his mother hadn't shown it, but seemed like his brother had no qualms in making it uncomfortable for her. She really was feeling a little offended by now. Peter seemed to have sensed because his tone changed.
"Idril, I was just teasing you. We all know how much Feanor is head over heels with you. He has never publicly dated anyone. He hasn't dated anyone, that we know of, for many years now. But with you, we see you two together all the time. You two must be serious."
Looking at his clear gaze, Idril decided to let go of his early remarks. Instead she decided to try and get Peter to talk about Kate and Feanor.
She replied shyly. "Well, I hope so. We haven't really been together too long. It was a mishap, really, which kinda made us live together,you know." She noticed Peter's frown.
"You guys are living together? Ia m sorry, I didn't know that." Peter hastily apologized but Idril had already caught on the strange look he gave her. She stopped dancing.
"What is it, Peter? Tell me."
"Nothing, fair lass." Peter's expresion from a few moments ago was totally gone. He laughed, "I was just taken by surprise that my brother was living with a beautiful thing like you and none of us knew."
Idril mocked, "I didn't know it was suppose to be a surprise."
"So have you met our parents?"
"Yes, I did."
"Who else?"
"Uh, I met Kate." Idril mentioned deliberately. And as expected something flickered in Peter's eyes before it was masked quickly. He was as good an actor as his older sibling.
"She is Fae's Godmother's daughter. She was like a sister to me and Fea until the two of them started dating." Peter's wink was all conspiratorial. "It is the younger brother's job to spill all the secrets of the boyfriend."
Idril couldn't help it. She laughed to at his charm. The two brothers were a lot a like. "Tell me more."
"Obviously, it didn't work out. Kate was not a good influence on him."
"Oh?" She was getting excited when he heard a voice behind her.
"I think you have given her enough company Pete. Thank you. Go back to your wife." Feanor was standing right behind her with a cold expression on his face.
Peter laughed at him. "Relax, brother. Was just entertaining her. No need to jump your gun. Here, have your beauty back." With a quick peck at Idril's cheek he left.
Feanor turned to look at Idril and asked her directly, "What was he telling you about me and Kate?"
