Chap 3: Getting to know the real Leggy.

Med awoke again to a horrible rancid stench. She gagged as she opened her eyes to see that the stench was coming from her arm. "Damn, what is this shit?" she asked anyone who would listen. Aragorn who was the closest answered her. "It is to help you heal faster." "Does it have to smell like rotten leftovers and shit and vomit mixed together though?" she asked. In return she got a bewildered stare. "Oh never mind," she huffed flopping backwards on to the mat. "I see you are awake now fair maiden?" asked Legolas walking up to her and sitting on the ground next to her. "I see I have something dead and decaying on my arm," she complained. The elf just smiled and twinkled his eyes. "Fine then! Laugh at me! It's not like I need you guys to like me!" she huffed. "What is that supposed to mean?" asked a very hurt elf, "I'm not making fun of you. You should learn to be more tolerable to enticement." "You are lucky I ain't some stupid air head, and I know what all those big words mean," she said just as hurt, but in a different way. "You are lucky I am not just a man, or you would have been taken advantage of by now," said the elf. "You mean raped?" "I mean you would be forced to lay with a man against your will." "Yeah, raped. They would do that? To me?" "Of course, you're a beautiful young woman. You are lucky we found you." "I know that for sure." "You seem to know a lot about us, how?" "It's all supremely complicated," she said rolling over to her side facing the handsome elf. "I am supremely interested." "If I were to tell you I'd have to kill, and we don't want that, elf-boy." "I'd like to see you try." "Okay, let me just suffocate you with the shit on my arm." And with that she pulled off a bit and stuck it in his hair. "Oh!" he said laughing, "That was very unfair, you are more dangerous than we thought you were!" "You know it, Leggy!" "Leggy? Now that's something different. I don't think I've ever been called something so short before." "Really? You've never shortened your name?" "No, I usually am call Legolas, or my many other titles." "I am pure nickname, Leggy. My real name is Medalia D'oro Graysler, but everybody calls me Med." "Medalia D'oro Graysler?" he asked in bewilderment. "Yeah, dumb eh?" "Not at all. It's beautiful. Almost as beautiful as you!" "Oh shut it, elfie," she blushed. "Shut what?" "Oh never mind!" she laughed. "Legolas, we need your help over here!" shouted Aragorn from over by the fire. "I'll be back when I can," said Legolas to the wounded Med. "Take your time," she answered rolling back over to her back. "So the wounded woman rests now?" asked a voice from behind her. "What do you mean and who are you?" she asked trying to sit bolt upright, but the pain was too intense. "You knew me earlier, Boromir of Gondor, son of the steward? Remember now?" he asked. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh it's just you." "Yes it is only I." He said with a bit of resentment in his voice. "Why the long face, Bor?" she asked. "I don't understand?" "You sound sad. You can tell me what's up!" "I am just missing Gondor." "I hear it's beautiful!" "Oh it is! Sure the plains of Rohan are nice and the hills of the Shire are peaceful, but Gondor is a city. Full of life, and beauty. You would love it there!" "I bet I would," she said staring at him in awe. "Med, we have to redress your wound," said Aragorn walking up with Legolas coming behind with a bowl of scalding hot water. "If It means I can be rid of this smell, okay!" she answered slowly sitting up. "Now this is going to be extreamly painful," warned the ranger. "No pain, no gain." And with that Aragorn ripped off the bandages over her self-mutalation. "IIIIIEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed. She looked down at the wound. It was disgusting. The word LOVE was all red and infected while the line through it was still bleeding slightly. Med felt as if she was going to throw up. She looked away. The next thing she knew Legolas was dipping a cloth into the hot water and bathing her arm. It stung at first but he was so gentle that it was only for a minute. He was very careful not to cause her more pain than needed. He looked at her as she averted her eyes from the gory mess. It was obvious she wasn't comfortable around blood. After he was done Aragorn put some weird looking crushed plants onto the wound and wrapped it up in a new cloth. This time it didn't smell. "That's it, your good for another day now!" said Aragorn standing up and walking back towards the fire. Legolas remained with Boromir. "Did he have to rip it off like he was mad at me?" she asked faintly. "No, but it's less painful that way," informed Legolas "Oh, well, at least I know it could have been worse." "Oh yes much worse," added Boromir, "You could have not had the tender touch of the resident elf here." He smiled a mocking smile at the elf who swatted at him. Boromir scampered off, so that he would not be run through with one of the elf's arrows. "He's right, thanks, for being so gentle," Med bashfully said. "Oh, no problem, madam. It was my pleasure," said beaming from ear to ear. Med laid back down. "I feel so very tired, and the sight of my wound has made me feel a bit faint, I think I'll lay quietly for a while and maybe get some rest," said the girl yawning. "Then I shall leave you be, I promise that when you are well enough, I will teach you how to defend yourself, so that you won't get another wound like that," he said tenderly bending to kiss her forehead, but she turned her head the other way and closed her eyes.

If only she hadn't been wounded by her own hand was the problem, she thought. He probably couldn't teach her to defend herself against herself. Oh the mess she was in. And all for Games.
