Legolas looked over at his wife. She was beautiful, even as she grieved the loss of her two children. Elrond was comforting her, murmuring soothingly to her in Elvish. The Prince of Mirkwood pictured the chubby face of his infant daughter, the oddly dark eyes in his toddler son's face. He would never again see them. They both so resembled their parents it was startling.
"My daughter, everything will be fine. Please do not torment yourself, there was nothing you could do." Elrond said softly, letting his daughter weep into his chest.
"Atar.I miss them so." she moaned.
"Arwen, go to your husband, he grieves as well. You will need one another's support." Elrond said wisely, pulling her up and looking her in the eye.
Arwen nodded, embracing her father lovingly and going to her husband. Legolas looked at her, pain evident in his sea-blue eyes.
"I miss them too, Arwen." he said hoarsely.
Arwen reached up and kissed her husband, he blinked back tears.
"I love you Arwen." he said, oddly serious.
"I love you too." She replied.
"I love you, and that it why I must leave you." he said, turning from her.
She was shocked beyond words.
"Why? Why must you leave when I need you most." she wept.
He took her hands in his own and kissed them.
"I would want nothing more than to stay with you, melamin, but all I see when I look a you, is the faces of the children we have lost. I know you see the same thing when you look at me. I see it in you even now, as you look into my eyes. Oh Arwen! Can't you see! It would be an eternal torment for us both." he said passionately, holding tightly to her hands.
Arwen looked away regretfully.
"I-I know. But. I will always love you. And if you ever want me back." she whispered sadly.
"Aye, I will always love you as well. But that is why I must leave you."
With that, he kissed her one last time and turned to leave.
"Never forget me?" he asked, stopping in the doorway.
"Never." she replied vehemently.
He nodded and disappeared down the long halls of Rivendell.
