Chapter Four:
It didn't take long for the men to get everything loaded, or when they got there to get it unloaded. When they got Eithne settled the doctor went in to see her, Rhoslyn was pushed out and so she went to walk around the garden and was soon joined by Ceallach. "Hello Ceallach" The little boy raised his hands and Rhoslyn picked him up, he was unusually light for his age, which she assumed he was about four or five.
"I see he has someone new wrapped around his finger" Rhoslyn turned and saw a small man walk out into the garden, she cocked her head to the side standing in front of her was a hobbit. "I am sorry did I scare you?" Rhoslyn shook her head and smiled, "I have never seen a hobbit before" The little hobbit bowed, Ceallach wiggled out of Rhoslyn's grasp and ran over to the hobbit, "Merry!" Merry patted Ceallach on the head then turned to look up at Rhoslyn, "you must be the maiden who found Ceallach I have heard about you from Aragorn, sorry I was not here for that I just came from the shire I was visiting some friends of mine"
Rhoslyn smiled as he went on and on about his friends in the shire, he was definitely a talkative little guy. "Tell me Rhoslyn have you met Legolas yet?" Rhoslyn shook her head politely "No sir not yet" Merry looked around and moved closer, "Good because he is the dirtiest elf I have ever met" Rhoslyn giggled slightly bending down to get to Merry's eye level "Is that so?" Merry nodded "Yes is it I had to go on the voyage with him once and whew nearly killed me"
"Did it really Merry?" Merry's eyes widened and he turned around looking up at the tall blonde elf standing behind him, an innocent face quickly found its way onto the hobbit's face. "I never said that Legolas! Did I Rhoslyn" Rhoslyn shook her head playfully "never heard it" Legolas smiled at her but only slightly, he turned to Ceallach who was tugging at his tunic, "Yes little one?" Legolas asked bending down to where he was eye level with Ceallach, the little boy leaned in and whispered something into Legolas' pointed ear.
"Hum good question" Legolas responded he turned to Rhoslyn then back to Ceallach, "are you sure you want me to ask it?" Ceallach nodded wildly, Legolas turned back to Rhoslyn and asked her the question Ceallach asked him, "My young friend here" Legolas broke off and pointed to Ceallach who waved, "wants to know if your part elf so are you?" Rhoslyn looked at Ceallach and then to Legolas and shrugged "I do not know"
"How do you not know?" Merry asked putting his hands on his hips, "I do not know who my father was" Legolas looked at Rhoslyn long and hard doing circles around her, he studied her ears, which had a slight point to them but not totally abnormal for a humans ear. "I would say so you have the body type and your eyes remind me of an elf I knew once" Rhoslyn shrugged her delicate shoulders again, "I am sorry I do not know" Legolas nodded "Ceallach want to go to the kitchen with me and see if the cooks will give you any food?" Merry asked Legolas rolled his eyes again before looking at Rhoslyn.
"He just wants to the food for himself" Rhoslyn smiled and nodded, "I suspected so" Ceallach waved to Rhoslyn before disappearing into the castle once again, "I meant what I said you remind me of someone I knew once, or your eyes do at least" Rhoslyn looked at Legolas as he studied her face again. "Don't all Elves have blue eyes?" she asked looking at Legolas who was now staring off into the distance, "Not like yours, yours are an icy blue like his"
Before Rhoslyn could ask any more questions the doctor came out and nodded to her as he left, quickly she ran into the cottage "What is it? Will she be alright?" Her mother was smiling widely as was the king and queen "Yes your mother will be fine the doctor order complete bed rest and gave us some herbs to give her daily" Rhoslyn smiled widely, after four years her mother would be well again.
