Chapter 20:
Legolas left three months later to seek his father's forgiveness with Aragorn and the twins as his companions. Though Morié begged him to stay and not to do this thing, he kissed her gently on the cheek and left before she could say anything. She watched them ride off as she stood on the wall in her white dress and waved goodbye as the horses disappeared. Then, she focused on the task at hand, as Bilbo Baggins had come to live in Rivendell that night. She had smiled at him and welcomed him to Imladris as decorously as she could. She was soon entranced by the tales he told and he recounted many tales of the Hobbiton peoples each night as they sat around the fireplace. It was many months later that Glorfindel came back with an unusual burden, Frodo Baggins.
After helping her uncle to heal him, she sat with him until Gandalf arrived and then hovered outside the door listening as they talked of a meeting about the Ring. Racing to her uncle's chambers, she burst in and asked him about the Ring of Power and the Council. Telling her the prophecies, Elrond explained that there must be a decision reached about the Ring. Frodo had it here and it must be taken to the place she feared the most: Mordor. Telling her uncle to be careful, Morié walked along the walls that night and saw the horse of Legolas riding up. With a shout, she ran down the walls until she got to the path that bordered the road. As Legolas dismounted, she launched herself at him and they hugged for many minutes, followed by a passionate kiss and much small talk. Taking him by the hand, the two waltzed off towards the gardens as the others dismounted.

Spying the elleth hug Legolas, Boromir of Gondor dismounted and watched the two disappear into the gardens. He addressed Aragorn cautiously with a slight disdainful tone, "who is that girl who was so intimate with the elf?"
"That is Elrond's niece and you would do well to keep away from her. She has her heart set on Legolas, though they will not wed. She holds much more wisdom and hurt inside her than others can see, so you had best show her some respect when you meet her," spoke Aragorn as he stroked his horse's mane lovingly.
As he exited inside, Boromir stood and watched the elleth and Legolas talk together and steal a kiss. His mouth turned up into a wry smile as he followed Aragorn into the House...
