Friendship so strong
Before Elrond could use the lethal-looking object, he set it down. "The blood flow is coming on stronger again. I can't remove the steel...it would kill him for me to even try." Elrond breathed. Aragorn breathed a sigh of relief. He felt like he was going to faint or something. "Aragorn, watch him." Elrond said and he left. Legolas shifted around and Aragorn held him in place so he would not hurt himself further. "Be still, mellon nin." Aragorn said. Legolas couldn't hear him, but eventually stopped when he began to wear himself out.
Aragorn saw the wound on his friend's stomach. It was deep and still bleeding. The paste was still there, but was quickly fading. Elrond came back. "He was moving around restlessly for a few minutes." Aragorn said. "No, not good. He's either going into delirium or shock." Lord Elrond said. "Or both." Aragorn added. Elrond nodded. "Help him sit up so I can bandage the wound. We need to keep him warm so the shock isn't so bad. The delirium we cannot do much about except tell him that he is only injured and he does not really see it." Elrond explained.
Aragorn nodded, trusting his father's instinct. Aragorn propped his friend up until Elrond finished bandaging the wound. Aragorn lowered Legolas to the soft Elven mattress again. Legolas tensed. "His delirium doesn't seem too bad, but he seems to be going into shock fairly quick. This is not good." Elrond said. Aragorn took his friend's hand. "Do not go into shock, mellon nin. Please. Everything will be okay. Do not go into shock." Aragorn whispered. Legolas stayed tensed. He didn't seem to hear Aragorn at all.
"I have Elladan and Elrohir with Thranduil. I best not leave them alone." Elrond said. "I will tell you if anything happens." Aragorn assured as his father left. Legolas began to move around as if he were having a nightmare. "Hehta...." He said. (Hehta means abandon) Aragorn raised an eyebrow. "Abandon who...abandon?" Aragorn asked trying to see what his friend meant. "Fole..." Legolas said. (Fole means secret or secrecy)
Aragorn was beginning to worry. "Secret what? Legolas, I don't understand..." Aragorn said. Then he realized his friend was only delirious and in shock. "Calm down Legolas. Please don't go into shock. That blade was meant for me, not you! I won't be able to live with myself if you die...don't go into shock." Aragorn pleaded desperately.
Just when things seemed to get better, the worst thing happened...
It was just their luck!
