“Hide me, Viggo!” Elijah shrieked, running towards the older man.

“Steal my breakfast again, dumbass!” Dominic yelled, running after him.

Elijah made a move to dive behind Viggo. Viggo held out his arm, catching Elijah across the chest and bringing him down. “Hmm…guess all that wrestling Henry made me watch finally paid off,” Viggo said out loud.

“God, Viggo…” Elijah gasped for breath. “What the hell was that?”

Viggo carefully placed a boot on Elijah’s sternum, making sure to apply light pressure. “How dare you use Orlando that way?”

“Wh-what?” Elijah wheezed.

“You used him to get a few laughs, did you?” Viggo looked at Billy and Dom, who were standing nearby, mouths in an “O.”

“Uh,” Dom began.

“I tried to tell him, but Elijah…” Billy began.

“Elijah is HOW much younger than you? Don’t tell me he MADE you keep quiet,” Viggo growled. “Orlando just wanted to do a good job, and you made him paranoid, made him think if he didn’t do me, the movie would fail.”

Elijah tried to take a deep breath, but Viggo’s boot didn’t move. “I didn’t…think he would…believe me.”

“Why wouldn’t he, Elijah? He didn’t know any better.” Viggo sighed and stepped back. Elijah took a deep breath, coughing. “Well, go ahead and laugh now, boys. You did good. You humiliated Orlando, who in the process hurt me.” Viggo stalked off without another word.

“You okay, Orli?” Sean Bean asked, sitting backwards on a chair in their trailer. Orlando looked into the mirror as his makeup person glued the wig into place.

“Fine,” Orlando said, watching himself so he didn’t have to look at Sean.

“You have bags under your eyes,” Sean observed.

“Tell me about it,” the makeup person said. “It’s gonna take me forever to fill those in.”

“I wasn’t feeling well…didn’t sleep so good,” Orlando said.

“Anything I can do?” Sean asked.

Shoot me now, Orlando thought. Instead, he said, “No, Beanie, thanks. Just need a day off.”

“That’ll be a cold day in hell.” Sean got up and left the trailer.

“So, since things are a little behind in that area, we’ll be calling it a day,” Peter said. “And I don’t know that it will be ready by tomorrow, so enjoy your day off.”

Billy whooped for joy. “Let’s go out tonight, boys!”

“You coming, Orlando?” Dominic asked. Orlando glared at him. None of the hobbits had even tried to talk to him that day, since he looked completely aloof and unreachable.

“Why would I want to go out with YOU?” Orlando said so only they could hear him. “So you can make a jackass outta me again?”

“Look, Orli, we didn’t mean to do that,” Billy said quickly. “It was a joke.”

“Ha bloody ha.” Orlando turned on his heel and ran straight into Viggo. “Vig. Hey, mate.”

“Hello, Orli.” Viggo’s eyes were cold and Orlando almost shivered.

“A day off tomorrow. Nice, huh,” Orlando babbled. “I think we need it.”

“I know I definitely need a day away from everyone.” Viggo headed for the trailer, leaving Orlando to miserably stare after him.
