As Legolas was walking down the corridor to explore the palace he happen to run into Révin. At first Révin paid no attention to Legolas but his mind soon remembered who he was. "You are Legolas Greenleaf are you not?" "I am." He said turning to see who had spoken. "May I speak with you a moment." He said this with a look of regret on his face. Legolas lifted an eyebrow at this. "You may." And with that he followed Révin down the corridor in the opposite direction towards his bedroom. As they approached Révin's room he quickened his pace so as to open the door for Legolas. "You do not have to treat me with any special privileges; I am one of your kin." After all he did not like being treated like a prince, he wanted to be treated that same as everyone else. "I know my lord." Replied Révin with a bow of his head. He still did not believe him. His voice still held traces of humility. "My lord-." "Legolas" he said bowing his head and bringing his hand to his chest and taking it away palm sideways. "Please sit." He said gesturing to an empty chair by the window; then taking a seat opposite him. "I wanted to talk to you about Lillyana." "What about her?" "When I found Lillyana with the band of Uruk-Hai I quickly found out how spirited she was. There was an unquenchable fire that she seemed to possess. It was intriguing to me; you see most of the women in Rohan are very dreary with the exception of Lady Eówyn. But Lillyana was different she would not be told no, yet she had such a gracefulness to her that was very enchanting." After this he stopped to look up at Legolas who was to his great surprise simply sitting their eyes closed listening, but hearing Révin stop he opened his eyes. "Please continue." "Legolas if you don't mind my asking, are you not angry with me?" For a moment Legolas was silent as though considering the question then answered. "I think Lilly is probably the most amazing woman I have ever known. Without her, this Earth would be lifeless. the trees wouldn't be lush and green, the birds wouldn't sing. the skies would be dark and grey.. I would have no will to get up in the morning. In fact, it is Lilly that gives my life meaning. I have known Lilly for many years and I know how she is, she is one of most loyal elves you will ever find. And usually she will not abandon someone she has known and I expect loved for many years to the first charming face she meets or that is nice to her. Not saying that you do not have a good heart or that you're not a good looking elf but you are still young and have obviously not found the right partner." After Legolas finished Révin looked down at the floor. How could he expect Legolas to understand how he felt? He had never been in his position before anyway. But he finished the rest of his story anyway. "I am sorry Legolas; I never meant to cause Lillyana any pain." Again he looked down at his feet, but this time Legolas reached over and put a hand on his shoulder and smiled. "I know how difficult Lilly can be and I also know how easy it is to be attracted to her. Do not worry your time will come when you too will have someone that you can call your own. At this Révin smiled because he believed this he would find someone and he would love her with everything he had. "If you would excuse me I would like to go exploring." "No not at all." He said getting up to open the door for him. But Legolas sensed he was going to do this so he held up a hand to tell him to stay where he was. "I am very capable of opening a door." He said with a smile. "Of course." Révin replied sitting back down. "Um. Legolas?" "Yes." He said turning around. "Thank you, I am not one to have the best luck with women but I think my luck will change." "I'm sure it will my friend." And with that he left Révin to his thoughts.

"Lilly where are you?" A voice cried in Lilly's head as she dreamed, that voice sounded so familiar. "I fear the worst for my daughter." Now she knew where it came from, it was her father. "Father!" Lilly cried. "Father here I am." But he just turned away still searching for her, calling, worrying. "Father!" And with that she woke with her face sweating and limbs shaking. "It was only a dream, it was only a dream." But it was not just a dream it was a message in a dream and Lilly knew that well, for her father could send messages in dreams. So throwing off the covers Lilly went to find both Legolas and King Théoden. As she walked down the hallways she passed some of the people that had been present during her little performance in the house of healers. "Good morning my Lady," Said an older man who was the recorder of all the remedies for any disease that had ever been found. "And you sir." Again she had walked only a few paces when she happened upon another familiar face. "Good morning Lady Lillyana!" I was the head of the healers. "I trust you are feeling well?" "I am, and you?" "I am feeling superb." "You would not happen to know where your lord is?" "Why I believe he is in the grand hall with Prince Legolas discussing some important matters." As he said this he pointed in the opposite direction down the corridor.
"My thanks." And with a nod she left him. To Be Continued.
