"Why have potential suitors not looked at you?" Legolas said staring into the fire. "I guess it has to do with the way I dress, and maybe because I have a fear of talking to men. I was hoping they would come to me whenever I had a crush but I guess that will never happen." Legolas nodded. "When you asked Gandalf what race I would be does that mean I'll stay here forever?" Jade looked at Legolas.
"From what Gandalf has said yes, and he also told us that you would change to a race best fitting your character. I don't know how the transition will go but I know it won't be painful." he looked at her. "Well whatever race i turn out to be I hope that the men find me attractive, if not enough for a relationship then maybe enough so I can have my first kiss." There was silence for a minute "You haven't had your first kiss yet?" Legolas sounded surprised.
Jade shook her head and stoked the fire. "Jade you're missing out on so much, a first kiss is magical there is no other like it unless it is a kiss you share with your beloved." "How would you know? i thought evles didn't kiss unless they were bonded." Jade looked to Legolas in wonder.
"Elves can kiss before they bond it has no significance unless they are meant to be each others beloved. its how we find our true loves while courting." Jade nodded and smiled. "I think I'll head to bed." Jade got up and so did Legolas, he walked her to her bed roll and wished her goodnight. When she awoke in the morning smells of meat and eggs filled the air.
"Good morning Lady Jade, would you like some sausage and egg?" Aaragorn asked. "No thank you. Do you have any fruits? I'm a vegetarian." Aaragorn looked to Legolas and motioned for him to bring his bag. Legolas walked over to Jade and handed her a peach. "Let me know if you're hungry again Jade. I have plenty to share." She nodded her head in thanks and ate every last bite.
The next few days were the same, walking until night to set up camp, talking with Legolas until she couldn't stand to be awake and sharing fruit in the morning. Legolas and Aaragorn trained her to be a good fighter, surprisingly it didn't take long to master to bow and sword.While she and Aaragorn were sparring she heard Gimli say "Nothing but a whisp of cloud" then Legolas screamed "Ceriban from dublin!"
Before she could find a hiding spot Legolas grabbed her pulling her under a rock against his chest. Their faces were inches from each other and Legolas chuckled when he noticed her blush. Before Jade could react Legolas started to lean down and then nothing. She had blacked out.
