Format: Drabble
Genre: Gen
Rating: G

Creator’s Notes (optional): Sometimes imagination can be a saving grace in a tremendously boring situation. Here, Thranduil finds himself stuck in a situation that he, as King, can’t get out of, except through his imagination.
Summary:A trade delegation has proposals, and if they would actually come to the point, Thranduil would probably be more amenable to the suggestions being made.



TRIALS OF A KING

Thranduil was bored. After more than a mark of listening to posturing, empty praise and hollow platitudes, he imagined the corpulent trader wearing a set of lace-trimmed lingerie for the Lithe bonfire. He turned his laugh into a cough which he quickly hid behind his hand.

“My apologies, your Highness, are you ill? Is it even possible for an elf to be ill?” the flustered trader asked. It was obvious the cough had derailed his prepared speech, for which Thranduil was silently grateful.

“No, it’s the spring pollen. Please continue telling me the fascinating details of your proposed trade agreement.”

You gotta do what you gotta do to stay awake in meetings sometimes

*laughs* Oh, Thranduil. A bored Thranduil is a dangerous Elf...very funny, nettenya!

There's nothing much worse than a boring meeting, but since he's an elf, I couldn't exactly have him fall asleep and start snoring - LOL.

LOL what a good way to deal with a boring meeting!

[erulissedances]

I've been in some meetings where the only thing that kept me awake was thinking of strange and unusual punishments for the people boring me to tears - LOL.
