A/N: Stream of consciousness. Legolas reflects on his situation.
I want to run. To slip away. To answer the call of the sea. But I cannot. Not while you still draw breath. When you are gone and the exquisite torture has come to an end I shall leave. Until then I shall stay and answer your every call. But it is not easy Estel. To walk the halls and gardens of this palace avoiding her. Not that she wouldn't like to see me but it hurts to be reminded that you love her, not me. You could never love me. And though I tell you often you never believe that I love you. Not that way. But I do. You stole my heart long ago. I see you with her and I am happy for you even as I die inside. I do not begrudge her your love, or you hers, but it still pains me.
