"Well Hannah, I think we should go to the banquet tonight" Solas said.

Hannah and he were walking through the city, talking about things. "Solas, how can we go if your not invited?" She sighed.

Solas jumped in front of her to stop her. "Does that really matter? If I come with you, they won't kick me out."

Hannah pushed past him and continued walking. "I will not do that. I just told Legolas, I will not marry him, because of you. Do you think he will be happy, if I brought you along? I think not!"

"I'm probably not invited, because you won't marry him. Your destroying my social status, because you won't marry him!" Solas said jokingly.

Hannah gave his arm a slap, but continued on her way. "Excuse me Miss?" said a little girl.

She had just appeared, out of nowhere. "Yes?" asked Hannah.

"This is for you." she gave Hannah a little box, then took off.

"Open it!" urged Solas.

Hannah began to undo the ribbon, that carefully wrapped around the small box. She opened it up to find a beautiful emerald necklace. A card came with it, but all it said was, 'wear this tonight'. It didn't say who it was from, or the reason, why it was given to her.

"I wonder who it's from" Solas's voice dripped with sarcasm. "But I guess this means, you have to go tonight. You don't want to hurt the Princes feelings, now do you?"

Hannah sighed knowing he was right. She would have to go to the banquet that night, but she didn't have to bring Solas with her.

(Later at the time of the banquet)

Hannah stepped in through the doors, leading to the dinning hall. It had been decorated, with Mirkwood flowers, for the occasion. She wore a forest green gown, with gold woven in. It matched the emerald necklace perfectly, as she intended. She left her hair down and made it wavy. She looked elegant and lady like, as her mother had put it.

Without her noticing, Legolas had crept up beside her and took her hand. "Oh Legolas, you startled me!" She exclaimed.

He brought her hand to his lips and lay a light kiss upon it. "You look lovely Hannah, and I see you got my present." His hand when to her throat and gently touched the necklace. "I knew it would look beautiful on you. It matches your eyes, as well."

Hannah was about to take a step back, but he lowered his hand. "Thank you, very much Legolas, it is breath taking."

Legolas smiled at her, then looked around, at the other people. "Shall we join them?" He asked.

Hannah nodded, then took his arm, he held out for her. They wandered into the crowd and began talking, with the other guests. Hannah began to notice, that most the people here, were of importance. Hannah would have been invited, even if she were not engaged to Legolas. Her parents were Nobles, not commoners, like Solas.

After a few hours, Legolas had been carted off, by some people, leaving Hannah, by herself. She had sat down at a table, near a low wall, that overlooked a courtyard. Hannah sat looking around at the people, until she felt someone sit with her. Thinking it was Legolas, she turned and smiled at him. "Solas?! What are you doing here?" She cried.

He sat across from her, grinning from ear to ear. Hannah grabbed him and took him behind the wall, were they both crouched down. "Solas you can't be here! This is a non-commoner banquet!" She whispered angrily. "Besides, what if Legolas sees you?"

Solas leaned forward and gave her a kiss. "I just wanted to see you and you looked like you wanted to get out of there."

Hannah sighed. He was right, she did want out of there, but she couldn't just leave. She would have to tell Legolas and he would be upset. "Solas, I'll meet you outside of the Palace." She planted a kiss on him, before she got up and rejoined the party.

Hannah was about to leave, when a hand grabbed her arm. She turned around and found Legolas, with a smile upon his face. " Will you have a dance with me?"

She knew she couldn't say no, but Solas was waiting for her. 'Just one dance' she thought to herself. "I would be most happy to, Legolas."

She took his arm and they went out to, where the other couples were. Legolas took her hand and placed his other hand on her waist. They were silent for a moment and Hannah tried to think of something, to talk about. "How long have you been seeing this Solas for?" Legolas asked out of the blue.

Hannah's mind froze. She didn't think he would ever ask about that and she hoped that he would never. "Some time after you left for war." She finally said.

Legolas pulled her tighter, but she did not protest. "I would assume your happy with him and I understand why you would love him."

Hannah pulled back and looked him in the face. "You do?" she asked surprise, then shook her head. "I'm sorry Legolas, I would rather not talk about him." She stepped back and forced him to let go of her. "I would like to retire now, I'm very tired."

"I understand. Goodnight Hannah. Will you need someone to take you home?" he asked, somewhat bitterly.

She shook her head gently and looked at the ground. "I'll be fine. Thank you for tonight, your highness." She leaned forward and lay a kiss on his cheek, then went off.

Legolas stood there for a moment, then saw his father looking at him with concern. He smiled at him, so he wouldn't think Legolas was upset. That was the last thing he needed, for his father to get involved.

He knew, that if he was to marry Hannah, she would have to not be involved with Solas anymore. Legolas knew nothing about Solas, but now he would have to.

Hannah wandered the streets to get home and made sure, to avoid Solas. "Hannah, there you are." Solas said from behind her.

She sighed, but deep down, she knew he would have found her any ways. "I'm sorry Solas, but I'm tired, so I'm on my way home. He kept walking beside her and pretended to ignore her. She loved him, but sometimes she wanted to strangle him. "I mean it" she growled.

He went ahead and turned around, forcing her to stop. "Since he came back, you've been acting like this. I don't like it and I'm telling you to stop it, now!" He snarled in return.

"Oh Solas, you stop it! I don't want to fight about this. I'm just upset, because he was asking about you. Besides I really am tired, so let me go home and sleep." Hannah told him.

Solas sighed and stepped out of her way. Hannah took his hand and brought him to her. She kissed him with passion, then let him go. "You look tired as well, go home and sleep."

She once again went off and left another man. A moment later Solas left as well and the person, in the shadows stepped out. "It's time to see why Hannah loves this man so much." Legolas whispered to himself and set out in the direction Solas had gone.


A/N: Just so you know, I'm not trying to make Legolas a crazy little elf man. And he isn't crazy right now, you'll understand in the later chapters, if you read them. I know its boring right now, but it is about to get way better, I just had to set the scene.
