During the following two hours, Celide was busy running messages and delivering dishes from the kitchen to the dining room and helping with the decorations. By the time she was finished, the dining room was radiating with beauty and Celide was dull with grim and dirt. She was happy with the results of her work, but pissed that the rest of the help was not even sweating let alone dirty. This hard work got her mind off of the 'book', and worked her tirelessly. She left the room as the sun was setting. Celide got to her room that she shared with Eladda. It was in the same tower as Thranduil's room was just below his room, and the only other room in the tower excluding the king's. She walked in to find a note attached to the table by the window.
Celide~
I left to go meet Rinorn and Sarlyn.
We will be at the Dragonfly Tavern
until 11 o'clock. Please come if you
get the chance. We need your party
spirit to brighten the mood. And when
I get back, I want to know everything
that involved the prince.

"Damn it why can't she just leave well enough alone?!" Celide spoke to no one. "She just had to ruin my night by mentioning him. No! My night is not going to be ruined by the thought of him. Tonight is a ME night!" Celide hummed to herself as she grabbed her robe, a towel, and a book and headed towards her secret spring. She walked through the forest right behind her room until she reached a cave. She went right into the cave and tossed her towel and robe over a rock. She then found the hot spring and slid into it. She got caught up in her book when she realized what time it probably was. She got out of the spring, dried off, and put on her robe. Then she headed back into the castle. She was rounding the corner when she ran head-on into someone.
Celide fell back on her butt. "Uugh!" She looked up and her face contorted into many emotions as a pair of icy blue eyes met her own eyes.
"My deepest apologies. I should have been watching where I was going." Legolas said in an apologetic voice. "Let me help you up!" Legolas placed his arms under Celide's arms and hoisted her up.
"Well you should be sorry!" Celide said in a not-so-quiet voice, her face was filled with anger.
Legolas was taken by surprise; he had never gotten the reaction he got from Celide (well he had but this time he didn't deserve it; he was being nice). He stood there with his mouth open and his eyes wide.
Celide started to dust herself off. "Thanks for helping me up." She said, as she looked into his eyes with a smile on her face. "Good night!" She then started toward her room with a little bounce in her step.
Legolas just nodded his head.
