Legolas 1/2
Chapter Five
Aragorn arrived not long after lunch had been cleared away. Immediately, a manservant swept him off to the guest room in the north tower, where a steaming bath was being prepared. As the man sank back into the porcelain tub, all thoughts of Legolas were washed away with the dirt and grime of a four-day journey. Warm, soft towels awaited him once he stepped out of the tub; clean, silky clothes lay invitingly on the bed. The elves were well-known for their hospitality, and justifiably so.
------------------------------
Legolas hurried through the setting of the table for Aragorn's tea with Thranduil, his heart pounding frantically. Aragorn must not see him! Although the two had not met in years, Aragorn knew him better than anybody. If he were seen, Aragorn would recognize him; then the real trouble would begin. I can't serve today, Legolas thought wildly, I can't! What can I do?
Fiera glanced over at her friend, somewhat worried. Glasa seemed unusually nervous; she had served at a banquet before, and done quite well, so why was she so nervous now? She resolved to speak to Glasa about the matter later, when the butler wasn't glaring at them all.

Well.........that was really, really short. But I'm still trying to decide how to have Legolas be recognized---or whether he won't be recognized for a long time. And anyway, you got a chapter yesterday. I'm not a writing machine, people! Geez! But please review, because it makes me happy-like and encourages me to update faster! Oooo.....double bonus! ;)
