Lance said his goodbyes to the queen an guards. While he was walking out he was putting his hood on. He sighed an sigh of relief, the queen was rather intimidating. He was looking up at the moon while walking away from the castle. He was thinking about how pretty the moon was when balins face came into his mind. His face turned red, he looked down and shook his head as he mutter to him self "S-Stop that, you barley know them.." he finished with a sigh. While he was sulking he was pulled in between a pottery shop and another shop he hadn't gotten to read the name of.
He managed an "W-what�!?!" Before his mouth was covered by big, gentle hands. Lance struggled before he opened his eyes, he saw balins face in the moonlight. His back against the pottery shops wall and balins knee being in between his to ensure he didn't go anywhere.
Lance froze once he saw who had pinned him against a wall. It was rather warm that night so balin had a short sleeve shirt on. Lance was surprised to see muscles on balin. Lance felt his face get hot. Balin pulled his hand off of lances face and made a 'be quiet' face. Lance did so and didn't make any noise.
He watched as an guard passed and when the guard was out of earshot balin spoke softly. "Your not an elf are you.?" He asked . Lance was shocked and he lowered his head and shook it. Balin then asked Lance why he went to the castle, what a human was doing here. Balin want rude about the question Infact he was rather polite when asking the questions . Lance responded "I went to the queen about why the scouting elves where past their point of the forest and I'm here to drop off books and the question I asked the queen.
Balin looked relieved. "Thank god, I wasn't sure if someone as cute as yourself could do bad things." Lance in response froze and turned red once more. Balin again realized what he said and in turn turned red himself. Balin released lance from his grasp and allowed him off of the wall. "Why did we need to be quiet?" Lance asked balin, "we have a curfew, incase of any goblins or orcs that might pas through here." Balin responded. " what happens if your caught outsiders after curfew?" Lance questioned, reluctantly balin answered "we are given 5 warnings then we are forced out of the village for a month."
Lance looked shocked by the answer he was given. He was staring at balins eyes when his hood was pulled down by balin. Lance looked somewhat confused "Why did you do that?" He asked balin. "So I can see all of your face, I'm sure it looks better under some more light" lance managed an "I-I uhm..hehe..?"β¦ π‘βππ¦ π ππ‘ ππ π ππππππ πππ π ππ£ππππ ππππππ‘π πππππππ πππ‘π πππβ ππ‘βπππ ππ¦ππ π€βππ πππππ πππππππ¦ π πππ "Ahem. I uh better be g-going then." Balin then grabbed his upper arm, not ready for the muscle he was hiding under the clothing. "How about you stay here for the night and you can go back tomorrow morning.?" Balin requested. "I-I guess t-that won't hurt a-anyone.." Lance said while looking away. They're moment was ruined by to men looking out of the pottery shop saying Aw. "Our son is all grown up now!" The shorter one said to the taller one. Balin froze as his face turned red. "Papa.. father. Please not now." He said while burying his face in lances hair to hide his face.
"Yea yea just get inside the house." The taller one said motioning them to enter. Before they entered lance grabbed balins shirt to follow. Balin went inside first, Lance followed. The two men lit an candle and sat. Lance and balin also sat. Lance looking down a lot he noticed balins soft hands, he almost took hold of one but stopped himself. "Papa. What do you need?" Balin asked the shorter man. The candle reviled the short and taller one's faces. The shorter man with a stubble on his chin and light blue eyes spoke. "Well our baby is growing up and he's getting his first boyfriend, and he even invited him over. So naturally I would want to meet them. Say what is their name??" Lances face was as red of not more vibrant than a tomato. Lance was still looking at the floor, when balin spoke. "Papa, you get it all wrong.. we've only met today. I invited them over because⦠well."
That's when balin turned to lance, took his hand and whispered in his ear. "May I tell them your human?" He asked, lance nodded as he was still processing balins deep voice whispering in his ear. "He is going back to the human kingdom tomorrow. He isn't an elf but he is an human." Balin stated. "He needs somewhere to stay for the night or else he will come face to face with an orc or a goblin." The shorter man spoke again "Son you never did answer one part of that. What is their name?" Balin went to whisper in lances ear, but Lance brought his face up and said "L-Lance is my name.." he still didn't make any eye contact. [Lance has social anxiety, looking people in the eye makes him more nervous]
