Getting near to the end of my story, wahhhhhhhhhh, im trying to add as much as I can to keep it going for a bit longer as im having so much fun writing it! Thanks for support !
Isabella was long gone, all she left in her path was the mountain of piled up bodies that where outside the door. Their eyes turned from Isabella's exit to the lonely figure leaning out of the window. Aragorn untangled himself from various legs and arms that laid on top of him and he steadily stood up and leant against the open door. Slowly, the others did the same, all trying to make as little noise as possible so they did not frighten the elf. However they clearly forgot of Legolas' keen hearing. A pained voice travelled across the room to them;
'I know you are all there, I heard you breathing outside the door'
Aragorn smiled and walked into the room and stood beside Legolas and gently placed his hand on Legolas' bare back for comfort.
'Are you feeling ok mellon nin?'
Legolas slowly rose up and turned to face Aragorn and the rest of his friends who had now come into the room, 'I feel strange, my fingers are tingling and my head is spinning'
'She really gave you a wild time' laughed Boromir. But his words were met with a hard stare from Legolas
'I did not do anything with Isabella' he protested
'We heard you kissing' Pippin said in a childlike manner
Legolas blushed, 'I did not…I did nothing of the sort'
'My pointy eared princeling, in case you have not realised, you have no shirt on and your body and mouth is tainted with red lipstick.' Gimli added with a huge smirk
Legolas' eyes widened in shock and he stormed over to the mirror on the wall and looked at his appearance,
'A! Ed' i'ear ar' elenea!' he exclaimed 'Mani naa tanya' (AH! By the sea and the stars! What is that?)
Aragorn sniggered and he pulled out a cloth and handed it to the distraught elf.
'It is lipstick my friend'
Legolas took the cloth from Aragorn and became rubbing frantically on his perfect skin to remove the red stains. Gandalf walked over to the elf and looked at him in the mirror,
'So what exactly happened?' he asked firmly
'I tried to speak to her but she would not listen. She had her mind set on one thing' he paused as he looked at his skin which was now red due to the abrasive rubbing he was doing to it. ' I was able to finally stop her and explained that I could do no more because of the fact….I am an elf'
'You told her you were an elf?' Aragorn questioned
Legolas nodded, 'I had no choice Aragorn. It was the only way to make her stop'
Gandalf quickly interjected, 'Then what happened?'
'Well she didn't believe me at first but then it was clear to her that I was. She apologized for doing this to me and then she took off.'
Gandalf furrowed his brow, 'Did she mention if she was going to alert anyone'
'She said that she was going to tell Lord Borin that an elf was in his town, but she said that she would not tell that it was me'
Gandalf made a 'hmmmmm' sound and turned to Aragorn for some idea
'What does that mean then?' asked Sam
'I am not sure Samwise, perhaps we will be safe and he will not take action on the matter' responded Gandalf
'I am not sure about that. When I first learnt of the tournament I was told that elves are not welcome here. That Lord Borin sees them purely as witchcraft.' Added Aragorn
'Witchcraft!? Is that man ignorant of my kin, I am no witch'
Pippin's voice was then heard adding to the discussion 'Perhaps he was getting confused, some elves have magical powers. Even you can do magical things, like heal quickly and use your left AND right hand'
Legolas smiled,' yes but that just come with being an elf, it is not sorcery'
'Even so...' added Boromir, 'I'm guessing we can expect a search party soon enough'
'Yes I fear that too' agreed Gandalf, ' let's get you cleaned up Legolas….and dressed for that matter'
Legolas nodded but the movement of his head going back and forth triggered something. The dizziness came back and his stomach churned once more. His chest seized up and his throat tightened. This was it, this time he knew he was going to be sick, he thought maybe leaning out of the window was enough to supress it, but that was no longer the case. He dropped the cloth and within a blink of an eye was already at the open window.
Aragorn went to speak , 'Legolas! What is …' but his sentence was abruptly interrupted by the loud and rather painful sound of the elf throwing up.
Gimli grimaced, 'Oh you have got to be joking.'
Merry's face look more frightened that displeased, 'I didn't think elves got sick'
Another violent noise came from Legolas as he continued to be ill out of the window, thankfully into a bush and not a person.
Aragorn sighed and walked over to his friend and as before placed his hand on his back, 'They can Merry but only by certain things, strong poison or in Legolas' case, strong alcohol and most certainly pipe weed.'
'Is he going to be ok'? asked Sam in a concerned tone
'He will be fine Sam, although he might not be feeling too well in the morning'
Legolas coughed violently and in a hoarse voice asked Aragorn for water. Aragorn poured some water into a jug for him and gave it to Legolas. Legolas slowly pulled himself up from the window and drank all the water with quick ease.
'Better?' asked Aragorn
'A little, I don't think I could be a mortal and having to live with the notion that you can get sick easily'
Boromir laughed, 'We do not get ill that easily, have you really never been sick before?'
'I do believe that was my first experience 'throwing up' the elf replied innocently
'Well Mr Legolas, there is a first time for everything.' Smiled Sam
'Indeed. Are you better now Legolas? We really must get you dressed' urged Gandalf
'Yes I feel a lot better now, I think it is all out of my system'
'Believe me laddie, you will still feel like a troll has hit you around the head in the morning' smirked Gimli
However Legolas did not respond, his ears where fixed. Aragorn noted his focus
'What is it Legolas?'
'I can hear shouting. Shouting from a large group of men, they sound angered'
Gandalf's eyes widened, 'It is Lord Borin. It appears are troubles are not yet over!'
Pippin looked frightened, 'What do we do?'
'We go to our room and hope that he does not come in'
'And what of me Gandalf?' asked Legolas
' I have a plan for you Legolas but I'm afraid it will not be pleasant'
Legolas sighed, 'I am used to all my un-pleasantries, I can deal with it'
Gandalf smirked, 'good, I'm sure you will not hate me too much for it' he said before adding a wink towards Aragorn.
