27. Momentary (First Age!Boromir, an elf)
Momentary
His hair is unkempt, obscuring most of his face, but his eyes are bright, dark, and knowing. Looks up at the sky, sees the time, and smiles. Holds a finger to his lips: Quiet.
A beckon. Follow.
Running down the deer trail, slipping through the knobby, prickly pines, and into a hidden glade where the weak winter sunlight filters through the trees, throwing jagged shadows on the half-melted snow and wet earth.
He stops and points. Watch.
The sun breaks through the trees, illuminating a single white flower. And the Elf thinks, Perhaps these mortals know something we do not.

May 4, 2005. Instant drabbled: Boromir, pair, follow, watch.
