Disclaimer: No I did not manage to own Legolas. Or any of Tolkien's
character or story so you know, all this belongs to him except Carlita,
Hendara and Talisar.
A/N Sorry guys, I haven't been well and been in a out of Hospital, I've managed to keep up with emails and such but no such luck with typing story. I have, however gotten it written out a fair bit. Now I have to type the damn thing up.grrrr. Enjoy.
*Carlita's POV* The Elves! They had arrived. She pushed past people who did not seem to notice her. Her hood was up but she was not hiding her presence. She knew Aragorn noticed when she pushed past but he said nothing.
Legolas's POV
Legolas came flying as fast as his fleet feet would carry him. He pushed past all ahead of him and came to stand beside Haldir a pleased half smile across his face. The Elves were in fine display and moved together as one, surprising the humans slightly.
"Once Elves and Men held an Alliance. We come to honour this alliance." Aragorn grinned and drew a surprised March Warden into an energetic embrace. He drew away and they quickly spoke although Haldir seemed to be looking about intently. Legolas touched his shoulder.
"Carlita si here but she seems to be waiting for a chance to get her armour from you. Talisar and Hendara, her brother and sister, are not here." Haldir's eyes widened as he turned to face Legolas, surprise evident.
"She has told you of everything?" Aragorn now looked accusingly at the elf.
"She has told me nothing and I have seem her but briefly. It seems Legolas has been told all." Legolas Shrugged.
"Her choice." Aragorn was clearly not happy but Haldir turned and spoke to the elves in their own Language.
Carlita's POV
"Ed-pelio! Caro ha etra an I Ernilinu an teli an enni.*" He continued. "Remove you helmets some of you. If she approaches you, bring her hear. Fine somewhere to stash the armour of her Gwanunig** and sister." Quickly the elves broke ranks and began to filter through the people. As soon as one without a helm passed her, she pushed back her hood and came into step beside him. Her hair flowed fair and he turned dark eyes to her and murmured.
"Princess. Mae govannen. The March Warden awaits you." Carlita nodded and allowed him to lead her back to Haldir. Checking that they were away from human eyes with the exception of a still stunned looking Aragorn, he knelt before her, his head bowed and Aragorn after blinking began to sink to copy him. Shaking her head Carlita drew them both back to their feet. Carlita leant forward slightly and whispered in Aragorn's ears.
"You do not bow to Prince Legolas. You who will be King do not bow to me." Once Haldir had fully attained his feet, he took Carlita's hand and turned her to fully face Aragorn.
"Aragorn. I Present, Princess Carlita Mithrilborn. Daughter of King Hunindbell of the Valinor Halls, also the elleth*** who has been guarding the Fellowship since they left Rivendell. Her Gwanunig Prince Hendara is not here, nor is her sister Princess Talisar." Carlita smiled slightly.
"Hendara is with Merry and Pippin and Talisar protects Frodo and Sam while we no longer can." Aragorn's eyes seemed shaded with confusion.
"We met Talisar in the Ladies woods did we not?" Carlita Laughed.
"I believe you did Aragorn but such questions must wait. I have armour to don, as I will fight mongst the other edhel. If you wish to know more perhaps, you can ask Legolas. We have spoken about my following you in greater depth." Haldir frowned but drew her away. He moved her to where a wrapped bundle lay.
"Your armour. Now while you dress tell me why Legolas knows so much when Aragorn is clearly the leader of the Fellowship and also why Legolas is currently glaring holes in my back." Carlita looked and saw indeed to Princes blue eyes were narrowed slightly and trained on Haldir's back. He was now balanced easily on a wall. Looking back at the annoyed looking and slightly confused March Warden, she graced him with an evil smile.
"Haldir, he was your lover, perhaps you should ask him." Haldir went a surprising pink to the tips of his ears.
"That was in the past Carlita. You know that." Carlita's smile disappeared.
"I would hope so considering he's my lover now." Allowing the shock to set in she looked at his amazed face. "He seems to believe however, that you and I are lovers." Haldir frowned.
"But you said he was your lover. He'd know that you haven't.." She brought a finger up to his lips to silence him before the rest came.
"We're not that far Haldir and he doesn't know. So unless you wish to reveal something I do not, lower your voice." He scowled but nodded so she took her finger away. He hefted her armour, she took him through the Halls of Helmsdeep, and back to the bare room she and Legolas had recently vacated. Haldir closed the door then dropped the armour to the bed. Carlita began to unravel it from the netting and began to clasp it on begins with her vambraces.
A/N Sorry it's short but hey!! I am typing up Chapter 09 and 10 as we speak.
*Ed-pelio! Caro ha etra an I Ernilinu an teli an enni- Spread out! Make it easier for the Princess to come to me.
