The twins Alana and Morgan sat talking or trying to dance around the events of late. "You can not ride out alone." Alana scolded her sister.
"Why not, I will be fine, I am only going to Rohan."
"What good would it do?' Alana asked. "You are going to get yourself killed going out there."
"Rohan can help. Eomer will come." Morgan insisted.
"Talk to Aragorn first, please." Alana asked. Kayla poked her head into the room.
'How are you feeling?' Morgan asked her changing the subject to avoid her sister.
"Well enough physically." Kayla replied.
"We know about Haldir." Alana replied.
"Who told you?"
"Tariel was upset. She is still young." Morgan replied.
"Funny that now we would call 18 young." Kayla forced a laugh.
"Well we were forced into certain things when we were 18." Alana reasoned.
"If we were still at home who knows what we'd be doing now." Morgan added.
"True, but who knows if happiness was written in our futures there." Kayla answered looking down.
"I could not help but notice that you and a certain Prince are becoming close friends again." Alana lightened the subject.
"It is of no concern to anyone who I decide to spend my time with." Kayla replied. "I owe him my life."
"Do you really feel that way or is your recent separation from a certain elf driving you to this?' Alana asked.
"Maybe you should test the waters." Morgan suggested. Spending time with Legolas may help you gain perspective again. After all no one understood your relationship with Haldir."
"Well then this is for the best." Kayla replied. Morgan got up to pack for her journey to Rohan. Alana decided to help her. Kayla went back to her chamber. She thanked God that Haldir wasn't there she took her stuff and moved it into an empty room, her old one to be exact.
She smiled when seeing the view. It was her favorite room in the palace and she quickly got to the task to putting her stuff away. She found her gown in the dresser. The one she had worn on the night she tried to take her life. She touched the fabric. It was soft and elegant and she felt like a different person wearing it.
Aragorn wanted to discuss battle strategy, and Amrara's men camped outside the palace waiting for any type of movement. Kayla sat in her room. She wanted to relax but found it hard. Her shoulder ached from her recent wound, she rubbed it but it did not feel better. She decided to take a bath. She filled the tub with warm water and stepped in.. She washed the dirt, smoke and ash off of her body and closed her eyes. Tariel came in. "Is everything alright?" she asked.
"I'm fine." Kayla replied.
"I thought that since you and father.you know. that you might be upset."
"I am fine." Kayla repeated. "Just trying to relax my shoulder."
"What happened?" Tariel asked. "With you and father I mean."
"I do not know." Kayla replied.
"Do you think he will come to his senses anytime soon?" Tariel asked.
"I don't know, and right now you father is in the back of my mind."
"What, or who, is at the front, if I may be so bold as to ask." Tariel smiled.
"No you can not be so bold, and no one is at the front." Kayla replied to her daughter, who was not oblivious to the fact that Kayla was warming up to Legolas again.
They talked for a few more minutes before Tariel left again to find Arien. Kayla closed her eyes. It seemed like hours before she opened them again.
"Kayla!' Legolas called walking in.
"What are you doing!' She yelled looking for something to cover herself with.
"I am sorry." Legolas replied turning his back to her.
"Why are you in here?" she asked.
"Please forgive me milady, the door was open slightly."
"It seems as though my daughter forgot to close it in her haste to leave." Kayla replied. "That would seem to be the case." Legolas replied able to turn to face her again.
She had wrapped a robe around her and her hair stuckto her neck, it was dripping wet. "Can I help you with anything?' she asked.
"I wanted to see if you alright, you seemed shaken by the events in Lorien." He replied. She sat on her bed and ran her fingers through her hair.
"For the first time since the Dark Lord was destroyed I was afraid." Kayla replied. I saw the fire just consuming everything, the heat of it, the smell of it. I did not want to die there but just like at the peak of that mountain long ago I almost fell victim to it. I did not want my daughter to die there. Legolas, for the first time in a long time, I was terrified." She revealed to him.
He felt for her and sat next to her. "It is alright. You handled the situation well."
"No I didn't. I do not have the words to express my gratitude to you."
"Sometimes you don't need words. Some emotions can not be expressed with words." He replied.
"You are right." She replied. With no inhibition she leaned over and kissed him softly. He looked at her with no readable expression in his eyes.
"Are you sure that this is what you want?' he asked her. She nodded. He leaned closer and kissed her back.
It was like nothing had changed between them, like they had not spent all that time apart. For a split second she wished that they had never parted they she had had his children that she did feel like she wasted her time on someone who was no longer in love with her. She pulled away from him to catch her breath.
"I had forgotten." He said, almost to himself.
"Forgotten what?' She panted.
"What it was like to kiss you." He smiled.
She smiled at him and he stayed with her for the remainder of the night.
