After Aragorn's flight from his room the man found himself outside unware of how he had really gotten there. It was growing darker, but he didn't really care staying inside the house was too much for him. He came to a garden wordlessly realizeing this was the garden he and Legolas had planted several months ago when it had been Aragorn's birthday, dazed the man sat down on a bench Legolas had placed in the garden.
"This is going to be a fine garden when we get done." Legolas had said as they planet bulbs into the dirt. The man smiled at his best friend. " It sure will be." The man took a bulb from a bag and began to put it into a hole he had dug. Legolas was grinning ear to ear and so was he.
Aragorn shivered as the memory faded in his mind, suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder.
" Are you well, my son?"
" Yes, Ada."
Lord Elrond took his hand from his son's shoulder and sat beside him silent for a moment.
" I sent a message to Gimli. He should be here in a few days or so. I also sent a letter to Legolas' dad."
Aragorn gasped and Elrond took his son's hand into his, The man started to shake very hard and Elrond sighed softly.
" I'm sorry, son. They both need to know what has happened."
" No! No!, Ada, please I can't bear this!"
Elrond quitely wrapped his arms around his son and Aragorn burried his face onto his shoulder as memory after memory of the friendship they had all shared with Legolas came to him in waves, Elrond heard his son's breath becoming painic striken and he rubbed Aragorn's back sootheingly.
" No!, Legolas!"
Aragorn wailed and grabbed onto his father's shirt tightly, Elrond rocked back and forth trying to comfort his son as Aragorn held onto him for dear life. The twins had just came outside silently they both put a hand on their brother's shoulder.
" Estel, I'm sorry about calling Legolas a body. I should've known better than to do that."
Elladan whispered and Aragorn lifted his face from their father's shoulder, then he stood up and walked to the flowers that had been both his and Legolas' favorites and just stood there glazeing down at them.
