Song For Nought
~
Legolas, Elladan, and Elrohir were sitting silently near a smaller pond than their usual one. Legolas had spotted Nuquer by the other pond and opted for a different pond. She obviously didn't want to talk to him.
Elladan finally broke the silence, "Legolas, you really need to talk to Nuquer."
"I was going to talk to her this morning." Legolas looked up at him.
"I meant in private. You know, not where everyone is listening. That'd be more comfortable for the both of you." Elladan corrected himself.
"I know. It's just awkward." Legolas looked down, ashamed at his own nervousness.
"Come on, I got over my shyness, you can handle this." Elrohir encouraged Legolas.
"Yea, I know, I know." Legolas nodded.
"Well then, go!" Elladan pushed Legolas into motion.
"Wish me luck. This could be when I find out I've really lost her you know." Legolas looked very forlorn.
"It's ok Legolas, we're here for you." Elrohir smiled weakly at his friend.
"Thanks." Legolas smiled meekly back and left to find Nuquer.

Waenmetiel was smiling from behind a bush where she had just over heard the argument between Maik and Nuquer. She was silently complimenting herself when a hand on her shoulder startled her.
"Oh!" Waenmetiel turned to find Haldir looking back at her.
"How have you been?" Haldir asked.
"Um, fine thanks. You?" Waenmetiel forced a smile back at him.
"Good. I haven't seen much of you these past few days. Just wanted to talk I guess." Haldir got slightly flushed in his cheeks. He couldn't believe he was ages old and still feeling nervous around pretty maidens.
"Ok, do you want to go for a walk?" Waenmetiel wanted to get away from the pond in case Ven noticed she was watching them.
"I'd like that." Haldir put out his arm for Waenmetiel to take and it took her a moment for her to realize what he was offering. She quickly wrapped her arm in his and walked along the small path with him.
The two walked in silence for a while until Legolas came sulking around a corner.
"Hello, Legolas, what's the matter?" Haldir stopped to talk to Legolas. Waenmetiel couldn't help but stare at his body, she felt her mind slipping away into some fantasy.
"I'm going to talk to Nuquer actually." Legolas answered Haldir.
Waenmetiel suddenly snapped back into reality at the sound of Nuquer's name.
"Why?" she hadn't meant to ask out loud but tried to play she was just curious.
"I just want to clear things up between us I guess." Legolas fidgeted a little under the gaze of the two older elves.
"We'll let you be on your way then, good luck." Haldir had heard of the troubles between the young elves from Elrond just the other day after he noticed their restrained behavior.
Waenmetiel watched Legolas walk down the hall forgetting she was still holding onto Haldir's arm.
"Poor boy, young love can be hard." Haldir commented mistaking Waenmetiel's face for remorse for the young elf prince.
"Uh, yes, it can." Waenmetiel agreed and continued on their walk.

Legolas stopped outside Nuquer's door. He took a deep breath and was just about to knock when the door opened.
"OH!" Nuquer jumped when she saw there was someone standing outside her door.
"Um, hello." Legolas said nervously, he had doubted he was actually going to talk to her but now that he was here and she was standing there he knew he had to say something.
Nuquer froze for a moment before she answered, "Hi, Legolas." She didn't smile but stood in the doorway waiting for him to speak.
"I wanted to talk to you." Legolas offered after a moment.
"Uh, ok." Nuquer nodded before realizing in the hallway was probably not the most appropriate place to talk about relationships and that sort of thing. "Come on in." She moved hesitantly out of the doorway.
Legolas walked in thinking it was odd that all the time they had been 'together' he had never been in her room and now that she was sure to break it off he was here, standing in her room.
