Chapter Six.
Alixuss was sitting in his vast room, reading up on some history or other, which he was there to witness at the time as it happened, so he wasn't really paying much attention to it. Carefully, moving his ears to adjust to the noises, he listened to Elrond screaming at Glorfindel from down the corridor. Rambling on about this bush and that, why he was hiding behind it and what on earth he was doing. If it weren't for Legolas shooting him in the buttock, no one would have known he was there, snooping? Hiding? Eavesdropping?
"Tsk tsk, why would he want to spy, if he was?" he mused to himself; now only just realising that the Volume he was reading was upside down. Turning it around, he mumbled something unintelligible and threw it across the room, making it land on his bed. Smiling to himself, he got up and walked to the balcony, opened the glass doors and sat on the bench outside, looking out over the Valley and its many waterfalls that rumbled quietly. Closing his eyes to enjoy to peacefulness when a loud bang interrupted his thoughts.
"Finally!" he sighed as he listened to Glorfindel stomp off through the house. 'I wonder if the door came off its hinges this time?' he thought, wondering about the state of Elrond's study door. Deciding to get rid of any hassling thoughts, he cleared his mind and relaxed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I'll talk to you two later on if that is fine by you? I just want to relax and see an 'old' friend about something or other." Legolas said with a slight smirk. The twins smiled and nodded in agreement and walked off towards the main doors, talking about a possible dip in the river. Legolas smiled and began to walk the long trek towards Alixuss' rooms, what he would talk to him about, he did not know but he just needed to get away from Elladan and Elrohir as they were starting to drive him mad with more ideas of annoying Glorfindel. He'd rather not be brutally beaten with fists and sticks.
As he approached he could hear soft humming and someone moving around, possibly rummaging through belongings. Tapping lightly on the oak door, he waited patiently for the door to open once the noises had stopped.
"Enter for I am unable to attend to the door!" he heard being called from inside. Smiling, he pulled the handle down and pushed the door open, only to be greeted by the sight of Alixuss sprawled out on the floor, covered in his clothes and other accessories. Alixuss looked like an Elf-ling again, his green eyes as big as dinner plates.
"Don't ask." He said and Legolas burst out laughing, not even trying to hold it in. Alixuss moaned and tried his hardest to get up out the cave of robes, cloaks, boots, bags, leggings and tunics, failing miserably.
"Unfortunately I shall! Why are you surrounded by clothes and spread out on the floor?" he asked with a smirk plastered on his face.
"'Tis not my fault my dear Legolas." He said, sighing and pushing his thick, winter robes off the top of the pile, making it subsequently lightly.
"But of course it is not your fault. I, personally, would blame the tailor of Rivendell for making you so many, elegant, beautiful, classy, comfortable, remarkable, enticing and most unique robes made from the finest fabrics. I would blame him." He said, crossing his arms across his chest whilst smirking.
"Ai, you have your ways my friend, you have your ways. The reason for my being on the floor is that I was looking for something to wear on the road as it be, something warm. But, as I was trying to pull it out of the closet, it got caught on anther garment and the whole lot came out and landed on me." He said while still trying to get out of the heap on the floor.
"Ai, mayhap that is why I heard a lot of noises on my way down the corridor? I know you were humming before all of...this happened." He said as he gestured with his hands at the mess in front of him, "I take it you will be leaving soon?" he asked, almost upset by the whole ordeal. He knew he would not see Alixuss for a few years once he left.
There was a sad silence for a few minutes; both Elves just looking at each other before the Eldar spoke, "Ai, today in fact, if I ever get out this mess." He exclaimed. Legolas sighed and made his way over to help his fiend out of his mess. As Legolas pulled Alixuss out of the pile, he slipped and both ended up on the floor in a heap of Elf and clothes, laughing madly. Maybe that's what Legolas needed? A happy thought to help him through the years of loneliness to come when he could not see his friend? Maybe.
