When Legolas woke again he found himself alone, neither Thorin nor Dwalin at his side. He panicked and tried to rise only to further more hurt himself. He tries over and over to no avail, yet suddenly the great oaken doors of the ward slipped open quietly a slight creek as it was pushed to its socket end. Legolas tried to peak his head aside to see but to no avail. Suddenly the door closed to reveal an elderly dwarf who he did not know his bear was an ash color of grey when the old dwarf noticed him his eyes widen and his wands reached each side of his hips. "Ya should be lying down, lad!" he said going around the room to lie Legolas down again. "Thowin..? Where is Thowin?" Legolas managed out of his shyness and confusion. "Don't ya worry lad he'll be back, wouldn't leaver ur side he would ordered the lady Dis to make him go rest up a bit before he took ya home" Oin explained knowing the child possibly did not understand any word other than Thorin and back. Oin got to the boy preparing his bandages and other cleaning supplies and sat beside him. "Now lad how about I change those wrappings eh they must be ichy aye?" asked Oin who got a slight nod from Legolas who had stopped talking. Yet as Oin tried to tend to him the elfling kept backing away. "Lad I need ta do this let me do or shall I tell Dwalin you misbehave with poor mister Oin" Oin teased managing a slight giggle from Legolas. After that Legolas let him be still tensed yet he was determining to standstill. Oin manage a few of his tricks that made Legolas laugh and it did not take long and Oin's task was complete. Legolas' eyes were begging for sleep.
Yet as if on cue, the moment Oin was starting to cleanup up his things the oaken doors opened a new. This time a friendly and known face… "Dwa-lin" Legolas said still with some difficulty with the dwarven names and well names at that from his young age. "Hey lad how are ya" He asked idly stroking the blond hair. "Better" he chirped in-between a yawn. "So lad I was wondering this might make no sense to you but did ya really meant what ya said about us… well me and Thorin being your da's? I mean…" Legolas chirped a smile "Da's I would love that more than anyfing in tha whole wide world dwa… dwali…Dwalin" Legolas tried. "Oh great, yeah that's wow and don'tcha worry about the name lad ya can just call me Da now and Thorin dada or father right." Dwalin smiled his joyous face made him look as young as Legolas and Oin snickered in his corner where he had been watching them. Legolas yawned again. "Tired lad?" asked Dwalin. "NO" Legolas said his eyes closing against his wish his breathing slowing. "Is alright I'll be back in a few and then we can settle when we can bring ya home yeah?" Dwalin chirped as Legolas nodded to everything he said. "Night lad see ya in the morning, Aye" The large tattooed dwarf said as he kissed the boy's brow. Legolas yawned "Aye" he said softly drifting to the land of fairies.
Once Dwalin was sure the boy was well asleep he made his way to Oin which was cleaning his surgery kit. "Oin a word" he asked. "The boy be ok to leave tomorrow but I best warn ya he can't walk for a while and there something else." Dwalin else had widen when Oin began to speak because he had known Dwalin's words before they were spoken. But when he reached the something else at his own turn he knew all too well where he was going. "Aye what troubles ya" he asked either way. "Dwalin be reasonable the lad is a lad now yet he will grow to be… to be… well an elf" Oin stated. "That worries ya? An elf saved by dwarves we showed them mercy and besides Legolas is more dwarf than elf we all see it heck Dis saw it herself and that's saying somethin Oin" Dwalin stated jolting his arms in the air. "Aye… but" Oin went to go on. "Oin he will live in our protection, he will become one of us and he will grow as my and the king's son if ya like it or not. And if ya so god dam worried about what people will think make a public icon of him children are the most important thing in our world for one to be abandon by elves and raised by dwarves… Oin that is… that is saying somethin." Dwalin said his eyes sincere as he looked upon Legolas.
The night was chilly as Dwalin made his way past crowds of dwarves and of Houses. Yet after a long enough period of walking he made his way to his lover's house where from outside the loud happy screeching sounds of the young princes could be heard. Dwalin pushed open the door to discover in fact the young 8 and 5 year old at play with small wooden figurines of warriors and a troll. "I am Thorin son Thrain son of Thror and you shall bow before me" cried out the blond one holding out a wooden soldier. "Nooooo! the majesty it burns" cried brown head throwing his Troll figure away to grab to other little soldier. "Hurray hurray" they cried aloud making sounds as if a choir cheered for the wooden figures. Dwalin began to chuckle at long last acquiring the dwarflings attention they both smiled at the well known laughter and ran to him only to latch themselves upon his arms. "Mister Dwalin" They cheered in his presence. The commotion seemed to have caught Thorin's attention who was exiting the kitchen to smile upon the happy faces. Thorin made his way past the toys and kissed Dwalin softly. They joined foreheads and then sighed. "So how was Legolas?" Thorin asked near impatient. "Aye much better, than on that frightful night." Dwalin sighed out. "When shall we meet our cousin?" asked Fili his blue eyes full of anticipation. "Yes UncleThowin when? Mama said he's different and we need to be on our best… I was wondering… why?"Kili asked his eyes full of confusion. "Boys… you see Legolas isn't quite a dwarf… he's part… yeah part elf and part dwarf… but I know you boys will accept him no matter what eh boys?" Thorin asked. "But he's an elf" Fili gasped. "and I know you boys will take him in either way" His uncle smiled. "Aye uncle we help does in need not like those pure dwarves right Kili" Fili smiled brilliantly. "Right Fee" Kili said grinning to his ears. "That's my boys" Dis said full of pride from the hallway's arch. "MAMA" the youngsters exclaimed running at her legs both of them hugging her. "I taught you were in bed!" Thorin exclaimed. "And I taught you were supposed to wake me up!"Dis said with annoyance. "Ya needed the rest with these rascals all day at your skirt Dis" Thorin said leaning on Dwalin's strong frame as Dwalin placed his hand on his hip. "And I brought ya home to rest not to let me rest, THORIN OAKENSHIELD!" Dis exclaimed furiously as Thorin laughed a guilty laugh. "oh don't worry with Golas* I will have this kind of payback the little angle He's so handsome" Dis chuckled. "Golas" Thorin and Dwalin asked. "Golas sounds more Dwarvish don't cha think boys." Dis joked. "I like it" Kili said. "Aye Golas could be his name around others" Dwalin said dully. "Aye anyways I'm just glad he will be home soon" Thorin. "Aye I agree, soon we shall great Golas The Mountain's Green Leaf, our son to his new home" Dwalin said smiling at his Lover who kissed him.
