Part 9

Legolas stared and Niese. Neisa stared at Legolas. "Um, Niesa about what you just heard, well. um. I can expla-" Legolas cut himself off when he saw Neisa walk closer to him. "Legolas? Did you mean what you said? Do you love me?" Legolas turned his head down and stared at the floor, "yes," he answered embarrassedly. Legolas continued looking down until he felt a hand cup his cheek. Neisa turned his head up gently and leaned in to his face, inches above his lips she said, "I love you too," before kissing him chastely on the lips. They broke apart, and smiled at each other.

Estel was wondering aimlessly in the forest. He couldn't help but wonder what would happen to him when Legolas and Neisa admit their feelings for one another. He didn't want to go back to being the loner human amongst the elves again. He saw a log over looking a lake and decided that that was the perfect place to sit and think. He was staring at clear water when he felt a person sit next to him on the log. He looked up and saw the beautiful elf, Arwen. He was dazed by her beauty, and stared at her, until she broke the silence. "You must be a wonderful man, for Neisa has said nothing but wonderful things about you, She says that you are meant to be something special. But you look sad, what is on your mind?" "Nothing of importance I am sure, but would you mind sitting here with me to chase my unimportant thoughts away?" "I would love to sit her with you, Estel." Arwen said as she placed her hand on top of his. They smiled at each other shyly and turned back to looking at the water.
