Three nights later when Katalnia came to the palace for dinner the guards already knew who she was by sight. They had been told so much about her by Legolas that they recognized her immediately. She had brought her sister, Telkenia, along with her. She was so nervous; this was her first time in the palace.

They arrived in the dinning hall to find everyone just standing around waiting to be seated. They looked for Legolas, and spotted him talking to another she-elf. They waited for him to notice them standing by the door. When he did notice them, he smiled and walked over to them.

"You came," he said to Katalnia, "And who is your friend?"

" Yes I came," she answered, " This is my sister, Telkenia."

" It's a pleasure to meet you Prince," Telkenia said.

" The pleasure is mine, with two beautiful she-elves in my presence, why shouldn't it be? I have arranged for you to sit at the end of the table across from me, your sister may sit beside you, I figured you might bring a guest, seeing as you probably knew no one here," Legolas said.

" You may take your seats," one of the servants announced.

"I guess we need to sit down then," Telkenia said.

"I hope you're hungry, there's a lot of food, and someone needs to eat it." Legolas said.

"We haven't eaten since noon meal, so we have quite an appetite," Katalnia answered.

They spent the whole meal laughing and joking. At one point the King noticed that his son was quite taken with this she-elf, so he told of his son's "little" adventures with his friend Aragorn. He told of how he got into various mishaps and all kinds of trouble when he was an elfling. He or Aragorn would come up with an idea and the other would go along with it. This very much embarrassed Legolas. He turned six shades of red to prove it.

To make things a little even, Telkenia decided she would tell embarrassing stories about her sister. She told about how, when Katalnia was five, she wanted to marry their brother's friend, how she was caught practicing kissing a doll by their friends, and several other things that made her sister turn at least five shades of red.

These things were the main cause of the laughter at their end of the table that night. The whole night Legolas could not keep his eyes off of Katalnia, every time she looked at him, he would look away for fear of what she would think.

At the end of the night, Legolas arranged one of the royal guards to escort the ladies to their house.
