Ch.3- "Outside and Back"

"...and here is the kitchen and dining hall...oh! I mustn't forget the field outside, it's the place I like best."
He took her arm and almost ran to the doors that lead outside.
"Wow...that's so cool!" Lisa said as Legolas opened the giant doors.
"Cool? Are you cold?"
"No...it's just another way of saying er......wow...thats...interestingly astonishing......er....something like that."
"Alright then, um...would you like to see the horses?"
"Oh that would be so great! Horses are like...my favourite animal! I mean it!"
Lisa really did have an interest in horses, she'd used to go to her uncle's ranch once a month and stay there just to be with the horses. When Legolas brought Lisa around the corner, she saw them, running freely in the distance.
"They're so...free...and gorgeous......like you..." saying the last two words in an undertone so Legolas couldn't hear... *Well...what can I say? He IS handsome, goodlooking, I wonder how old he is...* she thought to herself.
"Yes I know, I let them out that way, they love being free, they can do whatever they wish."
Lisa took a look around the surroundings and saw some targets hanging on trees.
"You do archery?"
"Why yes I do, do you?"
"I really wanted to learn it when I was younger...my mom taught me...before she passed away." Lisa's eyes started to fill with tears and turned away to wipe them.
"Oh...I'm sorry I didn't know, hey, come on...no need for tears.." He turned her around and looked at her.
"Would you like to shoot some targets with me? I'm sure your mother taught you well..."
"Oh she did...she really did, actually.....I'd love to shoot some targets with you, it'll clear my mind, but to tell you the truth...I haven't done archery ever since."
"You'll be fine, trust me." They went off to the other side and he opened up a sort of trunk that was sitting there. He pulled out several long bows and dozens of arrows varying in size.
"Try some, then we'll see which one you're most comfortable with, here...try this one." Lisa took the bow and looked at the designs. There were mainly leaves engraved all along the outside edge of the handle. Then he handed her an arrow. "Try it, the targets are all over there..." he pointed towards her left. She took her first shot and it went on top of the target stuck into the tree trunk.
"Maybe I should practice a bit..." looking quite embarrased.
"There are a lot of different bows here you know, keep on trying, maybe it's the bow." *She tries to impress me ...in a way... does she fancy me? She IS quite charming, I'd like to get to know her better...especially where she came from* Legolas started to suspect that Lisa liked him.*...I COULD impress HER...* He took a shot and it effortlessly hit the bull's eye.
"WOW you're so good at this! I wish I could shoot like you..."
He did nothing but smile and came over to her.
"Let me help you, just relax..." he took her hand with the bow and helped her set up, while taking the other hand and getting her to take another shot.
*He's helping me...does he like me? Am I a nuisance? Let him take over...let him....er....help me prep up my arrow.......* Lisa tried to concentrate on her shooting and released her arrow. This time, only a few centimetres from the bull's eye.
"That was very very good, I'm impressed..." *What does she think of me now?! I didn't have to say 'I'm impressed' what in Middle Earth made say that? Now she probably thinks I'm some great teacher...*
"Well...you're a great teacher, helping me set up.."
*....................................................*
"Legolas? Are...you ok? You seem distracted..."
"I'm fine...I'm ok...um...would you like to go back inside? How about something to eat?"
"That would be nice, sure."
He put the archery stuff away and headed back inside, once inside, he took her to the dining hall in search for a servant.
"Excuse me...could we get an early start on dinner? I know my father wouldn't mind...I hope.."
"Oh...of course your highness, your father was looking for you though, I suggest you go to him.."
"Alright...um...Lisa...why don't you stay here and wait for the food while I go to talk to my father, I'll be back very soon." with that, he rushed off.
That left Lisa and the servant alone.
"Er...what would you like to eat my lady?"
"Um...I think I'll just wait until Legolas comes back..."
"Are you sure? How about some tea?"
"Tea will be fine, thanks." *I wonder what his dad wanted to talk to him about? Is it me? Am I not allowed here? I hope he doesn't get into a hell of a lot of trouble...I'll be so pissed at myself...*
The servant came back with a cup of tea that smelled extremely strong.
"Here you are...are you sure you wouldn't like anything else?"
"Um...how long will Legolas take?"
"Oh...I really don't know, I don't know what his father wanted but he sounded irritated...would you like maybe some fruit or a light meal?"
"I'll be fine...no wait...actually...no...I'll be fine.."
"Alright then..." then the servant left to the kitchens.
*Legolas...come on...please don't come back with bad news...and come back soon...I feel lost again...no wait...I AM lost and I've always BEEN lost ever since I fell on my head in that forest. Maybe I just really want to see him again... *GASP* I really DO like him...not just because he's handsome...he cares...I like that...I like HIM...I wanna hug someone.....where's that servant? WHERE'S LEGOLAS??!!!....boy, am I thinking loudly...*
