This has been poking at me since Keira was on Leno last week. Mucho thanks to tobiascharity for AIM instabeta. :)
Keira sees him everywhere. Impossible to miss, really; he's on every magazine rack in every airport, every supermarket, every bookstore. As Legolas, as Paris, as People's Hottest Bachelor, it doesn't matter -- he's Orlando fucking Bloom and she can't get away from him, and sometimes it makes her want to scream.
Screaming seems to be normal where Orlando is concerned. Her girlfriends screamed when they found out about Pirates, and screamed again after she got the script and read them the ending. When she returned from shooting, she told them exactly what they wanted to hear. She left out the part where the only time she ever saw Orlando's eyes light up was when he rehearsed with Johnny, or the part where all Orlando's friendliness couldn't disguise the fact that he saw her only as a seventeen year-old kid who still needed her mom to tag along.
She's a warrior queen now.
She can sit a horse, wield a sword, and string arrow to bow. She'll never tell Jerry, but the reason she worked so diligently on her stunt training had little to do with Guinevere and everything to do with Elizabeth Swann. When they return to the Caribbean, she'll be on equal footing -- and maybe that will be enough.
(BTW, I just added "orlantennae" as an interest. You should too! LONG LIVE THE ANTENNAE!)
