The three watched, slightly disgusted, as Legolas turn aside and retched.

When it passed and Legolas turned around to face three faces that were staring at him. There was a moment of silence before he was bombarded with questions from his option, overly concerned friends.

"I'm fine. Really. I was just feeling a little nauseous, that's all." He answered all their questions at once.

"Do you expect us to believe you?" Aragorn asked.

"Of cos. . ." Legolas replied, grinning.

"Good, than tell us. What ails you?"

"My ankle."

"Legolas, stop fooling around. What else ails you BESIDES your ankle." Aragorn was getting rather annoyed by the stubbornness of his friend.

"Nothing. . . really!" as the three friends shot dagger looks at him.

//why are these people so stubborn? I just retched, that's all. Especially Estel.// he thought. He was feeling rather weary after getting through all those pain barely half an hour ago when Aragorn was fixing his ankle.

"I am tired. Do I have your permission to go to sleep?" Legolas asked sarcastically.

When they said nothing, he got up, ignoring the probing pains in his head and went to a spot near a tree and fell asleep almost instantly.

The next morning, three of them woke to find Legolas still sleeping in the same position as the night before. Deciding to let him have more rest, they went about making breakfast and breaking camp. But after they were done, Legolas still had not woken.

"Wake up, Legolas. We have to set off soon." Aragorn said, shaking Legolas by his shoulder. Legolas stirred but did not wake. "Come on, wake up, stop sleeping already."

Just as he wanted to shake Legolas again, he felt his hand becoming rather damp. Curious, he raised his hand to take a look. Before he could look at his hand, something else caught his attention. Bright red liquid could be seen on the shoulder he had just shaken. It took a moment before he realized what it was. Blood.

Blood was slowly spreading throughout that part if Legolas's tunic. . .
