Confusion
By Hyshell

Chapter 3:

Archery.

~ Luithil Rindele ~

I awoke at dawn, and cursed myself for missing the famous Mirkwood sunrise.

My meeting with the king was set for 12 noon. So before then I decided to get

dressed and go for breakfast. I dressed in light cream breeches and a white

shirt as I wanted to practice my archery after eating as yesterday fighting

those orcs I discovered I needed to brush up on my skills.

I studied my wound and decided that I should go and find someone who could

Replace the dressing legolas had given me.

I found the breakfast hall after 15 minutes of searching, I did not mind for I

was planning how I should tell the king the reason for my visit .

I entered the breakfast hall and exhaled a breath I didn't know I had been

Holding, when I saw that the prince wasn't there. Don't ask me why because

I don't know myself. I sat down and helped myself to a shiny apple, I had just

bitten in to it when a cheery "good morning" reached my ears. I turned and

saw the prince approaching I sighed inwardly, although keeping a smile on my

face, a useful skill that my friend Haldir had taught me when I had spent time

with him in the lothlorian guard. I had thought I might have managed to have

my breakfast in peace, but no!

I quickly gave a polite reply and excused myself, I didn't want to spend time

around him, I find I always embarrass myself.

I walked in to the breakfast hall and just managed to say good morning to

luithil before she quickly excused herself, saying she wanted to get in some

archery practice before noon. I had my breakfast and then decided that

archery was a good idea and went to fetch my bow.

I arrived at the archery field in time to see an arrow whizzing past me and

hitting the bulls eye straight on. I looked around and saw luithil aiming another

and dodged out of the way. She hit another bulls eye, and then another. She

carried on doing so until I went over to say hello. She lowered her bow and

smiled,

"hello again"

I noticed she didn't curtsey or say anything really formal just treated me like a

normal human being which I wasn't used to. Between that and the shock of

seeing a woman shoot many bulls eyes one after the other all I could manage

was

"Hi"

she started a conversation about my bow and how nice it was which knocked

me out of my thoughts, I told her how Galadriel had given it to me once when I

was visiting. We talked randomly about our weaponry for a while and then she

Challenged me to a competition. I replied in a teasing manner deciding just to

be myself

"useless idea because I would win, and you would get upset, then I would feel

guilty, and so it goes on its happened before"

"And what prince, makes you so sure that you would win?"

"Let's call it male intuition"

"HA, well thank the valar its not male intuition that protects middle earth then,

because you are going down!"

" think what you like but youre the one that's going down"

" I think not"

"oh I think so, but I will be the gentleman that I am and let the loser go first"

"fine I will"

Luithil shot a perfect bulls eye.

Legolas rolled his eyes, put an arrow to his bow, aimed and a split second

before he released his arrow luithil 'coughed' causing him to let go and his

arrow went sailing straight part the score board.

He couldn't believe it, she had cheated, and he voiced his thoughts.

"How dare you accuse me of such a thing" she managed between laughter.

"Right that's it " and he attacked her. Tickling her until she pleaded with him to

stop, he did promptly and almost immediately she was upon him tickling him

and giving him no mercy.

"Oh crap" groaned luithil jumping up, she was late for her meeting with the

King, she grabbed her bow and started running towards the palace.

She arrived at the door and was straightening herself out and trying to get

some of the grass out of her hair, when the door opened.

"Do come in" said the king
