A/N love you guys!
After visiting the fletcher (A/N incase you don't know, they make arrows!),
and the armories for new arrows and quiver, I made my way to the practice
courts.
They weren't deserted, but were much less crowded than they had been earlier.
Legolas wasn't trying to sneak up on me this time; rather, he was sitting gazing at the brook on a bench. I approached him, grinning.
"Ready to lose, Leggie?"
"I am not going to lose. I will merely demonstrate my superiority at this skill." He said snobbishly. "And do NOT call me that!"
"Putting on the prince manner, LEGOLAS? You're still going to lose."
"I can do this, though." He said, and without another word, swung his bow and shot an arrow directly into a red painted circle on a tree across the yard.
"Well, I can do THIS!" I turned abruptly, and a second later a green feathered arrow was quivering in a straw target fifty yards away. I looked at Legolas, and followed his gaze back to the target. There were TWO arrows quivering there. I looked back at Legolas and he grinned smugly.
"So can I."
"Oh, lovely job, Leggie. Hey- Valiane said something about how we had to meet this afternoon. Do you know what for?"
"I believe that you and I are going on a chaperoned horseback ride through the foothills. And by the way, you do know that our marriage is scheduled for two weeks from today, correct?"
My speechless gaze must have conveyed my surprise. I had no idea!
"And directly after that, we are progressing to my kingdom of Mirkwood?"
"Of course I knew that!" I said, expertly covering my surprise.
"See you then!" he said, nearly matching my tone for sickly sweetness.
"Of course!"
We parted, me heading for my chambers, Legolas heading for...who knows where.
A/N okay...no more archery contests for a while...they're just so much fun to write! Anyway, sorry this chapter is so short. Expect the next one within hours!
