Legolas and Grace came back from practice of their own-Legolas was teaching Grace how to use a bow and arrow. They were quickly caught up to speed with what was happening as Rachel made her fifth lap chasing Tina. They sat down with Aragorn smiling. "Do they always do this?" Legolas asked.

"Yeah, that's Tina and Rachel for you." Grace said smiling.

The fight end eventually with Rachel giving up and plopped on the ground Tina joined shortly after. It wasn't until Sam yelled 'Food's up' that they moved from place. "So Gracie, how did you do with a bow and arrow?" Rachel asked biting into a piece of bread.

"Good, what about you and your sword fighting?" Gracie asked out of sheer politeness.

It went silent. Everyone looked at Rachel as if she would cry at any second. Rachel smiled happily, "Oh it went great, I nearly got my first kill!"

"You wouldn't be talking about me, would you?" Tina muttered.

"Now why would you think that?"

Then the bickering was back. Aragorn chuckled, "She did well for a beginner. I think I'll be able to turn it up a notch in a few days."

"In a few days?" Boromir snorted, "The hobbits do better than her."

"Boromir…" Aragorn warned, hoping Rachel didn't hear him. She had been working hard and didn't need to be insulted.

"Silly Boromir, that's because hobbit are amazing. In fact it is that type of undermining that makes hobbits the most deadly thing there is." A voice said from behind. They all turned shocked to find Rachel there.

"Yup that's right." Tina nodded along with Grace.

"Most deadly?" Pippin asked curious.

"Yup. You see…it is your size that causes you to seem powerless-much like dwarves but since hobbit kind aren't really into anything but peace they are often revered to be weaklings. It is this undermining that makes one deadly, because when you undermine someone, you don't expect much from them. In other words you are most likely to let your guard down around them, figuring that the harm they cause you will either be none or minimal." Rachel explained smiling the whole time.

Gandalf smiled, "It seems you have a lot of hope and faith in people."

"Of course there is always hope. Right Gracie?"

"Yep."

"It's late we should get some sleep." Gandalf announced, his way of saying enough for tonight.

"You're up early?" Aragorn said staring at the early risen Grace. She smiled at him. He must be on watch right now. Her eyes diverted for second to the bright pink sunrise. It was unlike anything she ever saw before. In bluntness it was simply gorgeous. She loved how the pink swirled with the orange and how clouds of white and blue began to fill the sky. For a second she pondered about awakening up Rachel and Tina to see it. Tina would probably say it was too early and go back to sleep while Rachel would enjoy it then go back to sleep. Slowly she got up and walked over to Rachel. She leaned down to wake but was suddenly stopped by Aragorn. Grace looked at him in curiosity. "Let her sleep, she's been working hard to get the sword fighting right. Don't worry she's seen the sunrise before."

Grace lifted an eyebrow, if she were Tina she would've said 'And you this how?', but she wasn't so she just said okay and hoped to leave it at that. Aragorn however felt her curiosity and weirdness, and figured he should explain, "It seems she doesn't trust Boromir fully-not that I can truly blame her. I too wouldn't trust someone if they kept insulting me and claiming that I was a spy of the enemy. Anyway she makes sure that she is awake when he is on watch."

"I see. Well hopefully they'll learn to trust each other; I don't know how much sleep she can lose before passing out from a dizzy spell." Grace replied staring at her drooling friend.

Aragorn smiled, "Don't worry Legolas and I have been making sure she gets enough sleep."

"That's good." Grace said not sure on what else to say.

"You're up early." an angelic voice said. Grace didn't even have to turn around to see who it was. It was Legolas her hot sexy elf boy, which of course he didn't know about that yet but he would soon.

"Shh!" Aragorn said pointing at Rachel who was just waking.

Legolas smiled, "She's finally out."

Aragorn nodded, "I've never seen a woman with such willpower."

"Willpower? You have a funny choice of words; I would say she's stubborn-staying up all night just to make sure Boromir wouldn't do anything." Legolas smiled, "Especially when Boromir was being just as stubborn. Do you think she knew he was spiting her when he had offered to take everyone else's sift?"

"She's not dumb Legolas, a little strange maybe but not dumb." Aragorn said taking out his pipe.

"That's what everyone says about her." Grace pointed out both Legolas and Aragorn gave her a look, "What?"

"You're strange too." Legolas put bluntly, Aragorn shook his head in agreement.

"Thanks you guys." Grace laughed sarcastically, she dragged her 'a' out as she said thanks.
