Lily walked outside and immediately found Legolas looking into the night sky. She walked over to him and stood at his side.
"The stars do not come out tonight. They see the destruction that is to come." Legolas said knowing Lily was by his side.
"Yet hope remains." Lily responded. He turned to look at her.
"I believe there is hope yet it is not what I lead Aragorn to believe." Legolas said casting his eyes to the sky again. Lily stood silently beside him contemplating what it was she wanted to say to him.
"You have hope, but you despair because you fear for his safety." Lily stated.
"As well as yours." Legolas answered without so much as a pause for a breath. Lily smiled a sad smile.
"You should not. Aragorn can take care of himself as well as me." Lily said looking into his blue eyes.
"I know this yet you remain on my mind." He stated. She smiled at him and spoke again.
"You should find Aragorn and speak with him. Your doubt makes him worry." Legolas nodded and walked off to find Aragorn. Lily stood outside a few moments longer before finding her way back to where she had left Buffy and Gimli.
Lily walked into the room and saw Buffy and Gimli sitting with one another talking she walked over to the two and smiled to herself when she heard their conversation.
"It's a nice axe. I have one back home always sharp one of my favorite weapons." Buffy said. "Oh hey Lily welcome back. Gimli and I were talking about weapons and such." Lily laughed she had a feeling the two would get along.
"Did you talk to the elf?" Gimli asked. Lily noticed in his eyes and voice he was concerned for Legolas. Something new for an elf and a dwarf.
"Yes. He went to find Aragorn." Lily stated and sat down taking her knives out and checking them. After being satisfied she put them back in the sheaths and leaned back against the wall. She had been in a comfortable silence when Buffy disturbed her.
"Do you think Dawnie is ok?" Lily sighed and thought for a second.
"I don't know. She's probably scared and worried about what is to come. Eowyn will look after her though."
"Still she's probably flipping out about both of us being out there." Buffy responded. Lily sighed.
"There isn't anything we can do about that."
The three then fell into a comfortable silence awaiting the battle that was to come.
