**************************************************************

The next morning Theomir went to Aelons rooms to get her. Last night he

Had been taking care of Saalli so she could get some rest. He knocked,

But he got no reply, so he gingerly opened the door, only to find she wasn't there.

"Wheres mommy?" Saalli tugged at her uncles hand.

"I think she could still be in the healers room with your daddy, lets go have a look," he hoisted her up on his side and walked down the hall. He opened the door a fraction, very quietly because his youngest brother was sleeping, and smiled

when he saw Legolas and Aelon curled up on the bed.

"Theres your daddy," Theomir whispered to Saalli, "lets go to breakfast and let

him sleep, he's tired, we can come back to visit him later." Theomir said softly, and stood for a moment.

"Daddy….." she mumbled in a tiny voice, and cuddled up to her uncle's shoulder as

he took her to the hall for breakfast.

Aelon woke up late the next morning, to see the sun was well up in the sky. She

Looked over her husband, who was sleeping soundly, and sat up on the bed, brushing his long blond hair out of his face and onto his shoulders. She cuddled back up against him, and he woke up. He groaned weakly, his arm was stiff and sore, and Aelon sat up, not wanting to hurt him.

"It's okay, you can stay there," he murmered, using his injured arm to pull her back against his side. She rested her head on his chest and her hand on his heart.

"Are you sure you're okay?" She asked softly, she could hear his soft, shallow breaths because of his broken ribs.

"Of course you can, your light enough," Legolas replied, and looked up as someone opened the door slightly. It was Theomir with Saalli. Legolas' brother walked across the room and sat in the chair next to the bed.

"I see you are quite okay, my brother," he said, placing Saalli on the bed on Legolas' other side. She sat on her knees and traced the deep bruises on her fathers

face, studying them intently, looking at them in awe.

"Daddy," she whispered, "they hurt you."

"I'm fine sweetie," he said softly, and turned to his brother. "I've seen worse days, I'm sure," he smiled weakly.

"I'm not sure you have, you took two Uruik-Hai arrows, you have a broken shoulder, all your ribs are broken, and you have an enourmous cut down your arm.

I was more thinking you have seen better days," Theomir smiled sympathetically.
