I was surprised when Jamie brought Stacey and Tracey up to see me. I had no idea that she had twin sisters. It was a shock to all of us, I think.
I still couldn't get out of bed for long, so they stayed in the dorm for most of the time. I told Jamie that they didn't have to sit in with me, but she insisted. They went for a while in the afternoon, so that I could have a rest, but that was all. Frodo was a bit overwhelmed, I think but he was pleased for Jaime. He really loved her; that was easy to see.
The strange thing about the afternoon was that Billee and Legolas weren't really speaking to each other. They would both talk to me or to Jaime or Frodo, but not to each other. Colan was playing up a bit too; I think that having too many people around was a bit scary for him, so Billee took him down to Elrond in the end just to give us some peace. Laddie was a bit unsettled as well, he growled every time Stacey or Tracey came too near me and when Tracey tried to stroke him, he snapped at her hand. He didn't catch her, luckily, but they stayed away from him after that. It wasn't Laddie's fault, she approached him from his blind side and he doesn't like that.
While Billee was out of the room, I took the opportunity to try and talk to Legolas.
"What's up with you and Billee?" I asked quietly. He just shook his head sadly.
"Not now" he whispered, looking around at all the people in our room. "Maybe later, okay?"
Later, when her sisters had gone, Jaime and me spent some time alone making plans for the wedding and joking amongst ourselves. Taking advantage of the fact that we were alone, I asked her if she had noticed what was going on between Billee and Legolas.
"I've noticed that they have been trying to avoid each other," she said with a shrug. "But I don't know why. Do you think they've had an argument or something?"
"Possibly" I said slowly. "But Billee isn't really the type to argue with a friend and then go around avoiding them. There's something else going on"
"Right" Jaime agreed. "So what are we going to do?"
"Will you try and talk to Billee when you go down to dinner?" I asked. "Normally I'd do it myself, but I know that he won't want to worry me. Would you mind?"
"Of course not" Jaime gave me a quick hug, then stood up as Boromir came into the room. "I'll go down now"
Boromir sat next to me and gave me a kiss, before handing me my dinner plate. We sat in silence, his arm around me, while I ate. But I couldn't concentrate on my food. I was too worried about Billee. I had thought that things were beginning to get back to normal. I was getting better, Elrond had told me that I would be able to get out of bed soon, and although the memories still haunted me, I knew that I had people I could talk to. Jaime was happy, now that she had not only her wedding coming up, but had also been reunited with her twin sisters. But of course the two of us couldn't be happy if Billee was unhappy. I hoped that Jamie would be able to find out what was wrong…
