Part 2: Nvctophobia – Fear of the dark or of night
2.
The question had come totally out of the blue.
Legolas could see well enough in the dark but the elfling was really half-elven after all. Perhaps the curse might have affected his sight.
"Do you not like the darkness?" Legolas asked.
"I prefer the light, and I hate the dark," the elfling replied, shifting closer to Legolas.
"I can see that." Legolas grinned.
"Is there something that you can do about it, Uncle Legolas?"
Legolas sighed heavily. Elrond even as a little one was stubborn enough, a trait which rather reminded him of himself.
"I can find a candle so that there will be some light in the room, but…" Legolas paused.
"But what, Uncle Legolas?" the little one asked.
"But I do wonder if you would be asleep before the candle's gone out."
"I hope so, Uncle Legolas."
"I hope so too, little one. Good night, Elrond," Legolas told him softly. He could still remember the time when his adar was there to tuck him into bed.
"Good night, Uncle Legolas," Elrond mumbled, still not letting go of Legolas. He clearly did not wish to find himself alone in the dark; he must have heard rumors of what horrors lay in the unknown and even when asleep, it seemed as though he was still clinging on to Legolas for dear life.
