Delin was charming and handsome. What more could a girl want? Arwen
was pleased that Legolas introduced them, though when she was around the
two elves she felt tension, she couldn't figure out why.
"Delin!" Legolas called down the corridor. Delin approached but he looked concerned.
"Prince Legolas. How may I be of service?"
Legolas smiled. "I am not here to ask a favour of you. I am here as a friend. I would like to introduce you to Lady Arwen Undomiel daughter of Lord Elrond of Rivendell."
Delin bowed his head slightly and kissed Arwen's knuckles softly. "It is an honour to meet you my lady. Although we met briefly earlier, I feel this pleasure is all mine."
Arwen smiled uncontrollably. Delin was such a gentleman. She had always thought this of Legolas also, but Delin was clearly a year or so Legolas' senior meaning he was more respectable in a sense. Even if he *was* only the palace messenger. She curtsied neatly and smiled once more. "Your compliments are wasted sir. But do not think I do not appreciate them."
"Call me Delin my Lady. For all of my other friends do so."
Already they were friends. She noticed a familiar twinkle in Delin's eyes. Her smile faltered as she searched her memory for a face to match the twinkle in Delin's eyes. "And you my friend must call me Arwen." She flicked her raven hair from her eyes and beamed. They conversed for some time before Delin was beckoned by king Thanduil.
Delin bowed his head once more, kissed Arwen's hand and asked. "Would you care to join me for a ride tomorrow morn Lady Arwen?"
"Yes. I would love to." Arwen fought to keep calm. When Delin left, Arwen turned to Legolas who was leaning against the wall. She looked into his eyes and saw something she had seen once before. She remembered suddenly who had eyes mmuch like Delin's. Legolas. He always had a twinkle in his eyes. But it had gone now. It was replaced by something else. Jealousy?
Legolas waited for her to say something but the silence hung thick. He sighed. "You seem to have taken a shine to him Arwen." He smiled faintly.
"I erm. Well-he's nice and he's- he's a gentleman. But I- What business is it of yours anyway?" She snapped the end of her sentence loudly.
The prince was a little taken a back. "I am sorry princess. I really meant no offence."
"Yes well maybe you should refrain from being so nosy all of the time. My business is my own and does not concern you."
"Maybe I should not have introduced you to him then. Since you seem to dislike him so much. So much that you will not reveal your feelings for him." Legolas kept his cool. He knew it was annoying Arwen.
"Why do you care so much what I think or feel?" she frowned fiercely. "Its not like you even *care* about my feelings." She realised she was yelling. But did not calm down any.
"You think I don't care about your feelings?" the prince bellowed in return. "Ever since we were *elflings* I have cared about your feelings Arwen. For Valar's sake."
Arwen stopped in her tracks. He was not being nasty or hateful towards her. He was genuinely interested in what she felt. And right now she felt guilty for yelling at him. "Legolas I-" she said so quietly he hardly heard.
"You know what Arwen, I don't *want* to argue with you now. I don't want to argue with you *ever*. It takes the better person to walk away." And he did just that. He spun on his heels and left. Ignoring Arwen's calls after him.
