Chap. 3
"Uh.. Hi." Buffy said meekly. She tried to wave, but lost balance and fell over. Well she would have if Legolas hadn't caught her in mid- air. He scooped her up like a young child and surprisingly she was as light as one. She tucked her head under his chin and fell fast asleep. He smiled to himself, until he heard Gimli snickering under his breath. Swift as a deer, he ran over, careful not to hit his jaw against Buffy's head, and kicked him in the stomach.
"Damned elf!" He brought up his ax and chased Legolas around, before tripping over Gandalf's robes and falling on his face. Now Legolas snickered. Buffy stirred and Legolas quickly whispered an Elvin lullaby in her ear and she fell asleep again. He sighed.
"Legolas?" Gandalf asked politely, "Would you mind taking the girl back to her chambers?"
Legolas bowed his head and did as he was told. He walked back up the hill. He had never felt this way about a female before. He usually just thought of them as warriors or workers, never had he thought of them as a. Well, female you could say. How could he think that way? He had just met her. He mentally slapped himself. Owww.. Mentally slapping yourself hurt. Wait a second. He looked down and saw Buffy glaring at him. She slapped him again, this time he dropped her.
She used her cat-like reflexes to flip her self on to her feet.
"Don't think about me like that you perv!" His eyes widened.
'She could read minds!' He backed away, eyes still wide.
"You were drooling." She said smirking.
He brought his hand to face. It was true. The bottom half of his face was wet.
She was glaring as though he had just insulted his outfit. Then she slapped him again. He looked extremely hurt and he was holding his cheek. She softened her glare.
"Look, I'm sorry. I don't like when people pick me up. I can take care of myself," she looked desperate,"please forgive me.
"I forgive you, Milady. Just. Don't slap me."
"I won't and please call me Buffy."
"Buffy. A beautiful name."
They smiled at each other and Buffy realized her stay here might not be so bad.
