Leaving for the Trip

A bucket of cold water and a few ice-filled cloths later, the pair is ready to leave. Elrond waits outside for his foster son and his friend to come out.

The two come out of the doorway, conversing with each other. "Oh, Arwen", Legolas jokes. "Shut your mouth, Elf", the Human replies in a stern, yet joking tone. In their conversation they had almost not seen Elrond standing at the door, now looking somewhat hurt at this.

Elrond cleared his throat making the two companions' heads turn to his direction. "Good mourning, Estel." "Ada", Aragorn said in a surprised, "good mourning". He went over and embraced his foster father. When the hug was done, Elrond looks at Legolas, "and good mourning to you, Legolas", nods towards him. "And to you, Lord Elrond", Legolas nods back, slightly bowing. "Why do you have to leave again", Elrond asks. "To make sure the boarders are safe. Haldir wrote a letter saying some of his men saw some orcs near here", replies his foster son. Elrond mentally slaps himself on the forehead. "I remember now", Elrond says, more to himself than anyone else.   

"I'll race you to the gate", Aragorn proposes.  "You're on, Human", answers Legolas.

Elrond shouts towards Legolas, "take care of my son." Legolas dramatically bows, "yes, my Lord." He turns back to finish the race with the Human. "You will not win, filthy Human." "You will have to catch me first, Nancy-boy."

Elrond laughs at their mischief and smiles fondly after them. The pair kicks up dust as they run, their taunts drone out as they disappear into the horizon, until all that is left is the quiet echo swept by the cool breeze.

 Elrond trusts that Legolas will look after his foster son, but he says a little prayer, just in case.
