A?N: There are couple of more chapters left in this story.I'll try to update soon.lol
Legolas's POV
"Haldir, we need to talk." My eyes had captured his in one moment and I could see that curiosity had lingered on his face.
A second day with him was slowly passing and I had spent my silent time thinking,knowing well enough that this was killing me. I had to do something to restore the Haldir's good grace.
"About what, Legolas. Our time of talking had ended centuries ago. Pray to Gods that I have to obey my orders or otherwise you would be dead by now."
I had heard those threats so many times during the past few days but I wasn't scared of him. I somehow knew that he would never hurt me.
"Would you at least give me a chance to apologize for my past deeds. I am not a same person I was back then." Silently I bit my lip, raising my eyes to gaze upon him.
"Say your apologies and leave me be. I am not in a mood to play your games." Haldir's hand reached for a bow and arrows located inside of the armory room, while his eyes kept looking around. I knew he was avoiding meeting my gaze and I was persistent in my goal to make him mine once again.
"I am really sorry, Haldir, for everything I have done to you in past. I was a different person back then, and my soul was full of darkness ."
Waiting for his reaction I have come to stand near him. I knew that this was a first step toward reconciliation and I was glad I could get this off my shoulders. This guilt didn't weight much upon me when I said those words and I knew that a small hobbit Frodo was right. Face your past, he had said and I was glad I had listened to him.
"I...... what does it matter now? I cannot forgive you." My hopes were almost gone but I kept pushing for a positive answer.
"But can you forget. I don't expect to be forgiven completely, but I do need to know if you could give me one more chance. You see, there is one more thing I haven't told you yet..." I stopped myself because I was not sure if I should tell him that yet. I had feared he would use this against me and that he would make me a fool.
"What thing ?" He raised his eyebrows and he glared at me, wondering what I was about.
"I love you." I said softly and I lowered my eyes upon the ground, waiting for him to react to all of this.
Rumil's POV
"Rumil, I can't believe I am doing this. I am cooking my last meal and I know it's going cost us both." I smiled at my insecure brother and I dressed myself in my best tunic, waiting for Orophin to stop mumbling.
"Oh do be quiet. It's a perfect plan, I tell you. I will invite Prince to join us for dinner tonight and maybe at the end of the night, Haldir's ice will be melted. This will be a success."
I smirked, coming closer to my brother's side and I touched him by the shoulder.
"Your only worry should be cooking. I will go now and invite him to join us."
"You are mad Rumil. Haldir will kill us both when Prince is gone. The elves will have to look for our body parts, when the morning comes. This is suicide." I laughed at my brother and I patted his shoulder, grabbing a apple from the kitchen table.
"Well, it's worth a try. I know my brother and he may be toughie on the outside, but inside he's soft like the baby- elf's bottom. Do not fret brother; leave everything to me." With that I had found myself outside, wondering where to start searching for my other brother and his Prince.
Legolas's POV
I could see his eyes as they explored me, and his speechless manner had made me nervous. He didn't respond to my confession yet and I was wondering what was going through his mind.
But then out of the sudden I could hear a someone's whistle, and turning my head to the left, I saw Rumil coming toward us.
"Excuse my intrusion, my lords, I hope I am not interrupting something." Rumil bowed his head in the playful manner and he gazed at us.
"I am here to invite Prince Legolas to join us in our talan, where the dinner will be served in half an hour. We, I mean me, Orophin and Haldir, would be delighted if you would grace us with your presence." With my eyes opened wide I looked at Rumil's direction. This elf was inviting me to dine with them and I couldn't get myself to respond. Why were Haldir's brothers doing this? Was there any secret ploy behind all of this. Feeling that it would be rude to refuse them, I accepted his invitation.
"Thank you Rumil. I will be there." Looking at Haldir I saw a disapproving expression on his face.
"What are you doing,Rumil ? How dare you invite him without my permission." Haldir started yelling at his brother and I tried to figure out what to do. I wondered if I should get involved, but knowing it was not my place to do so, I stayed quiet.
"I can invite whoever I want too. I live there too and equaly we share our talan. You are most welcome there, Prince Legolas. Ignore this bitter fool, he doesn't know what he's saying. I have invited you and I hope to see you there, your highness." Proudly and sternly he stood before his brother and bowing once again, Rumil had disappeared into the forest, leaving a furious Haldir at his wake.
The dinner was pleasant, and I had found myself chatting with Rumil and Orophin, spreading a jokes and stories about my Quest. They acted nice but there was only one person who was fuming at the table. That person was Haldir and from time to time I had found myself gazing at the silent figure.
Brothers had tried but failed to start a conversation with him, but it was useless. Haldir had closed himself into a cold shell and his eyes were lost in his thoughts.
Drinking too much wine had took over my senses and the room had started spinning around me. Excusing myself I had reached the bathroom, searching for a pitcher of water so I could wash my face. But the potent wine had knocked me off my feet and I had realized that I was falling down, while the tricky darkness pulled me under.
(No, he is not poisoned, he is just drunk.)
