I do like...:)-Dinledhwen (Glad you do!)
Very nice!-suzie sheelf (:-D)
I didn't really like this one either. I hope I portrayed Legolas well as an elf.
Chapter Six: Legolas
Legolas had seen a change in the youngest member of the fellowship and decided to seek him out. He found Pippin right after his talk with Gimli, walking the streets.
"Hello, Pippin. How are you this fine morning?"
"Oh, hello, Legolas. I'm as good as can be I suppose." Pippin sat down on a near-by stairway.
"Something on your mind?" inquired Legolas as he sat next to him.
"What? Can elves read minds now?"
"Not likely," Legolas said with a slight smile. "But we can sense feelings and I sense all is not right with you, Pippin."
"You sense right, Legolas. I've already talked to so many people about how I feel. It helps at first, but after a while, I don't know, I go back to feeling like I did before." Pippin sighed and placed his head in his hands.
"Who have you talked to? Sam? Frodo? Merry, at least I hope."
"Yes, yes, all of them. Gimli and Boromir as well."
Legolas raised an eyebrow. "Boromir? I didn't know hobbits had the ability to talk to the dead."
"We don't. He came in a dream. It was a wonderful dream and he really helped me, but it was just a dream. I knew there was truth in his words, but..."
"But you think they'd mean more if they came from the living?"
"You could say that."
Legolas smiled. "Dreams have a lot more meaning than you seem to think, Little One. Dreams can sometimes tell more truth than what we hear when we are awake. Do you wish they'd come from someone else? Someone you can physically touch?
"In a way, yes. Yes, I do. It was MY dream after all. I could've just dreamed those words to make myself happier."
"And the others' advice? Last I checked they were very much alive."
"They are and they helped a lot, but I can't help how I feel."
"No, no you can't. But what you can do is listen to your friends. They love you and want what is best for you. They don't want you upset. And you needn't feel upset either. You helped fight evil, Pippin, and lived to tell the tale. Not many men can say that."
Pippin smiled up at the elf. He was glad he met one, especially this one. "Thank you, Legolas."
"You're quite welcome, Pippin. We are more then just a fellowship out to destroy a ring now. We are a fellowship of friends."
Pippin hugged Legolas. "You hug better then Gimli." He clapped his hand over his mouth. "I wasn't supposed to tell you that."
Legolas laughed. "Don't worry, Pippin, I won't tell Gimli you told. Although I would like to see the look on his face if he knew I found out."
"Yes, as would I."
"If you'll excuse me, Pippin, I must go and speak to Aragon. I hope our talk has helped to ease your troubles. If it didn't, please remember, you have many friends here willing to help you in any way possible." He rose. "Good-bye, Pippin. I shall speak with you again soon," he said before heading off in search of Aragorn.
Pippin sighed. Legolas had helped, but once again, it felt like hollow advice. He wasn't sure there was anything that could break him out of his rut. He began to wish life was like it used to be. Life used to be so easy, he thought to himself. Pippin knew he would no longer be contented by the simple things he used to enjoy. Sighing once more, Pippin rose to feet and headed off in the opposite direction of Legolas.
Maybe a walk will help clear my mind, he thought as he began to roam once more.
