The height of Legolas is the height of Orlando Bloom,
Will go to the main plot sooner or later.
Eowyn does not know about Legolas and Aragorn, she thinks she may still she has a chance with Aragorn.
The way to work out Legolas age should make sense, I made it up.
Chapter 9
The company preceded to the study, Legolas noted that like the rest of this realm, it had once been a grand place but now was faded like its city. There was a old wooden table splintered at the corners, which had a map of middle Earth inlayed into it, all the great realms appeared on it. Darkened like there was a shadow covering it.
"What do we have to discuss, Gandalf? " asked Theoden once everyone was settled around the map in the high backed chairs, with worn red upholstery covers.
"Have you hear the talk of the relationship between, to of my company?"
"Yes, I have, it is very unusual for a man to love a man." Replied Theoden.
"Not for my Kind, King Theoden" answered Legolas entering the conversation.
"Your kind?" asked the bewildered King, looking directly at Legolas.
Legolas looked a Gandalf, who nodded his approval.
"I am an Elf, my lord"
"Elves do not exist, show me proof!" Demanded Theoden,
*I have heard of Elves, but never thought they existed. If he has proof then I am persuaded.*
"What do you know of Elves?" replied Legolas calmly
"They are mystical people, who are thought live in the forests of Middle Earth. They are immortal."
"Yes, but I meant in appearance" said Legolas
"they are tall, Beautiful, long hair, pointed ears, soulful eyes, good with the forest animals," Theoden answered, picturing the creature in his mind.
"you said pointed ears, then here is your proof," said Legolas as he lifted his long golden hair from covering his ears to reveal, his distinctive pointed ears.
The king gasped, "you are truly an elf"
"you need no more proof?" asked the Elf surprised.
"What more would I need? The songs say they are fair, you near beauty."
Legolas's ear tips went red at this but the king carried on.
"your eyes hold wisdom, I have not seen and you got Arod to behave, your ears were the one thing needed to convince me. But you look very young, my people will still believe you are a child, you will have to explain to them." Explained Theoden.
"Thank you my lord," Legolas said quietly
He turned to Gandalf
"Should I show my ears?, to show them I am an elf." Asked Legolas
"I think that would be a good idea, while we are in the city, once we leave cover them again" said Gandalf
Legolas wondered how to keep his hair back , while he waited for the main meeting to start.
All were quite, Theoden was still processing the fact that he had an elf in his city, one question came to mind.
"Why are you so short?, I thought elves where over 7 foot tall."
Legolas was surprised at the question, but didn't show it, nor did he answer, Aragorn did.
"Elves are not that tall, the average height of elves are 6'3 to 6'7, the tallest elf ever was 7 foot, Legolas is just one of those that is smaller than average.
Aragorn ignored Legolas's look of offence
"Like men have different heights, so do elves." Carried on the ranger.
The uncomfortable silence came over the group, it was broken with the arrival of Eowyn bursting into the room.
"One of the town have been attack, a messenger was sent to for help, he was found collapsed outside of the city walls, his has a girl with him also." She cried
"We shall come. Gandalf you are good at healing, could you help?"
"Of course my friend" agreed Gandalf
"Eowyn, sister daughter, stay here, master Legolas has something to explain to you and you need to listen"
Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas and Eowyn watched the pair rush away to where the boy had been put.
"You have something to explain to me?, young sir" questioned Eowyn, clearly annoyed at been told to stay.
*but at least Aragorn is here.*
"I am not a young sir, Lady Eowyn, I am an Elf" replied Legolas in the shortly.
*go away!!! Why do you stay? You will not have Aragorn he is mine, I see you look at him and you touch him when you can. Wait, what is this feeling, am I jealous? I'm jealous of this lady, Why?*
Legolas's thoughts were interrupted by laughing.
"you are an elf" Laughed Eowyn "there is no such thing" she would not stop laughing.
Anger started to bubble inside Legolas, she was laughing at him
"they do exist, so get used to it, Young Lady" snapped Legolas
Eowyn stopped laughing and looked coldly at Legolas.
" 'young Lady'!, you called me young, I am older than you, boy." Screeched Eowyn
"I have seen more years that you will ever see, Eowyn"
"Stop this at once" warned Aragorn, he turned to Eowyn. "Legolas is an elf and is many years older that you in time but in age he is younger, if you get that?."
Eowyn looked confused.
"O.K. I'll explain it, One hundred years to them is a year, so 500 years could go passed, but the elf will only be 5, he would also look like a human 5."
" I get it, so he may have seen more years than me but is younger," realisation hit her. "how old are you?"
"near 3000 years old" replied Legolas shortly,
*I am not going to tell her how old I really am, forget that."
"so that makes you about 30 in our system." Stated Eowyn.
"yes" replied Legolas, his face did not show it, but he wanted to get away from her.
As if Aragorn could hear his thoughts
"I think we should go to see the boy and his sister. Lady after you" stated Aragorn, pushing the lady onwards, and sent – we'll talk about this later- look at Legolas.
Legolas resisted the impulse to stick his tongue out at the ranger, in stead he threw back a – I don't care- and walked away towards the chamber where the boy was sleeping.
