"Well I would love to show you today, but we would have to gather food, weapons, and clothing. It is quite a journey to reach the home where he dwells." Legolas looks to the sun strewn halfway in the sky. "It is getting late. Go back home, and meet me here tomorrow." He looks the she-elf over thinking to himself, I wonder if she can even find her way back home, nethedhel argelydh*.
Chimera turns around sighing with exhaustion and sadness, "I do not have a home to go back to." Defeatedly, she begins to walk away, "Dolenedhel, namárië*!"
"How long have you been searching for Legolas?" He asks.
Chimera's steps halt. She stands in the same spot without moving. There is momentary silence until she finally speaks, "Around two to three years. I know how insignificant even a year is in time to an elf. But every second that goes by feels like an eternity."
Legolas arches his eyebrows as he looks at the she-elf with concern, "When was the last time you ate?"
Chimera turns to face him and stands defiantly with her hands placed on her hips, " I think I would fair better without your help." She turns around and continues to walk away.
Legolas shakes his head in disbelief. He calls out to Chimera, "Listen... Wait! Are you hungry? Allow me make something for you to eat before you leave."
Chimera stops, turns around, and stares at the beautiful elf and then looks from side to side cautiously, as if being followed, "Why do you act so paranoid?" she asks.
Legolas chuckles at her absurd accusation. "I am running from the bogeyman."
Chimera stares at him oddly, "The what? Bogeyman? Is that Orkish or of the Black speech?"
Legolas playfully slaps his head, "Oh I seem to have pronounced it wrong. I meant Bolgemyn. You are much too young to have heard of Bolg I assume. He was an Orc King of the Misty Mountains."
Chimera just stares at Legolas dumbfounded, "You are an odd elf. Solitude has definitely took its toll. And what of the emyn*?"
A smile plagues Legolas's lips, "Well, if you ever saw Bolg you would most definitely want to run to the emyn!" He bursts into laughter as he continues, "So hurry up and get inside before he finds you!"
Chimera's hands cross defiantly at her chest. She looks to the elf before her as he convulses in laughter. Suddenly her face begins to warm at the sight of him, and she too finds herself laughing along at his joke.
Once his laughter subsides he smiles warmly at her, "Please join me inside."
Confused, Chimera asks, "Inside where?"
Legolas smiles at her, "My home is up the path a bit. You must have passed it on your way here."
Bewildered, Chimera replies, "That is your home?" She searches his pools of crystal blue eyes as she asks, "Are you Legolas?"
Legolas looked at the beautiful she-elf before him. He thinks to himself, Maybe I should tell her the truth. I have not had the company of a woman for quite some time. He quickly dismisses his lustful thought and replies to her, "I am sorry, Milady, but I am not him. I will take you to Legolas tomorrow. Now, please, I would appreciate it if you joined me in a mereth*." Legolas thinks to himself, I hope she makes up her mind quickly, I am famished.
Chimera looks at him skeptically. She abruptly turns her attention towards the shabby abode in the distance. Her eyes graze back towards Legolas's. She looks at the elf directly in the eye, "This better not be some ploy of yours... whomever you are... to lead unsuspecting virginal elves into your... quaint home... to ravish them. I told you my business is with Legolas."
Chimera lets out another sigh as she rolls her shiny green eyes, "What else could possibly go wrong?" she states more to herself than to the elf before her. Her eyes narrow as she continues, "So be it, I will come with you... since you feel that you owe it to.. locate Legolas for me." She sticks her hand, palm facing upward, out in front of him, "I want my picture of Legolas back. I do not care if the likeness is bad. That picture has helped me through a lot of difficult nights." Realizing she has said too much she blushes while adding, "In a business manner, of course."
