Chapter 26. The engagement ring.
I rode quickly up the courtyard of Mirkwood and Legolas who was outside.
"Pippin! What are you doing here?" he asked confused.
"I need something." I looked at him my eyes huge.
"What?" he smiled.
"I want to get engaged with Diamond." I said softly.
"Oh!" Legolas' eyes glowed brightly. "What do you want it to look like? What do you want it to say?" he asked.
"Say?" I asked completely confused.
"In Mirkwood an engagement ring has something on it in Sindarin. A promise a saying anything." he shrugged.
"Oh. I want it to say, Meleth nín, my love?" I looked at him and he smiled.
"Sounds good. I'll tell the jewelers." Legolas told a servant what I wanted to put on the ring than turned back.
"Is that the only reason you came?" he asked.
"No I wanted to visit." I smiled. He nodded.
"The ring will be ready in a day. I expect you'll leave when you get it?" he looked down at me. I nodded.
"Alright then. Do you want to practice archery or something?"
"Yeah." I smiled and nodded. We spent the next thirty minutes shooting at targets. Laughing and talking we walked back to the dining room where the dinner was set up. King Tharinduil joined us and I told them the story about the Scouring of the Shire.
"And then Wormtounge jumped on his back and stabbed him and I shot Wormtounge and they both died." I told them the last part.
"Hobbits aren't as peaceful as they look huh?" Legolas grinned.
"Not at all." Tharinduil chuckled.
Legolas stood up yawning. "I'm off to bed. You'd be wise to do so also Pippin. You remember where your room is right?" I nodded and walked slowly upstairs. I fell asleep the moment I hit the pillow.
I walked down the stairs near noon. I was wearing a tunic that was rather large on me. The sleeves covered my hands. The pants were quite long also. I kept tripping on the legs. My hair wasn't brushed and it fell into my eyes and it stuck up in odd places.
"Mornin Pip." Legolas smiled at me. He looked like he had just woken up also. His hair wasn't in it's usual braids it was messy and fizzed out slightly. He quickly brushed it out and sat down braiding it. I smiled and snatched a piece of toast and buttered it.
"Mornin." I took a bite.
"The ring is ready." he slid a small silver box and I opened it reveling a silver ring. The ring was small and silver with a small sparkling diamond in the middle. On one side there were the words 'Meleth nín' My love. The ring in my hand glowed faintly and I gasped, "It's beautiful. Thank you."
He smiled and nodded. "Your stuff is already on Elenril, she's waiting outside." he led me to the gates. "You best invite me to the wedding." he hissed into my ear before pushing me out of the door.
"I plan to!" I laughed as I mounted Elenril and rode off.
