Joyce awoke the next morning early. Moving out of Legolas´s embrace, she took a quick bath and then changed into some other clothes. Legolas was still sleeping. She left his tunic on the bed for him to find and then while grabbing her sword, she tiptoeded out of the room.
Walking into the main hall, she saw Gandalf sitting there. Sitting down next to the wizard, she greeted him. "Hello, Gandalf. How did you sleep?"
Gandalf looked up before smiling. "Sorry, Joyce. I did not hear you come in. You walk very softly if you want to, did you know that? I slept fine before Pippin decided to snatch the Palantir, and after that I manage to get a couple of hours and you?"
"I did not sleep that much, but that is okay. I am not tired, and it was worth it."
"Why did you not sleep, then?"
"Legolas and I, uhm, we talked all night. And then Aragorn wanted to talk to me and after that I fell asleep." Joyce was trying her best not to blush and laugh.
"What did Legolas and you talked about, that was so interesting that it nearly took all night?" Gandalf said while eyeing the girl suspisuly. She looked different than before.
"The war and the future. And other things." Joyce answered honest. Well as honest as she could with Gandalf.
The both of them looked up when the heard a grown coming from the doorway. Gimli was standing there, holding his head.
"I should not have had all those beers. My head is exploding." He said while sitting down.
"Well, Master dwarf. That is called a hangover. I would if I where you, ask Aragorn to give you something for the headache. Now if you two would excuse me, I will see about our Hobbits." And with that Gandalf walked away.
After Gandalf had left, Gimli turned to Joyce, with a big grin on his face.
"So, lass. Tell me, how was it?"
"I have no idea what your talking about, Gimli." Joyce answered him.
"Oh, come on, now! Yes you do. You and Legolas, well how do you say that." He gestured for her to come closer. "You two slept together, didn´t you?"
"Even if we did, I would not tell you, Gimli!" Joyce replied.
Gimli lit his pipe before he said. "Time will tell. If the Elf comes walking in with a big smile on his face, then I shall know that you two, well you know. But that does mean you did not obey the rule. I said no itimacy. If you end up pregnant, lass, then.... well I don´t know what I will do yet, but as long as it is not in this war then it is okay with me."
"Thanks, Gimli. For your concern." Joyce said while playing with her neckless.
"What is that you got there?" Gimli asked while looking at the crystal.
Joyce looked up before saying. "It is a neckless I got from my father and my mother, when I was a little girl. Do you like it?"
"Yeah. Has it always been that collor blue?"
"No, It changes sometimes. I don´t where my father found it, but it is a very strange crystal. But Gandalf always told me to keep it close to me, why I have no idea."
Gimli shrudded before saying. "Well, then you better listen to Gandalf, right lass."
"Good morning." A voice said.
Looking up, Joyce saw Aragorn walking in. The man looked more like himself again. He smiled at her, while he sat down. "How did you sleep?" He asked them both.
Gimli nodded and Joyce also nodded.
"Joyce, could I have a word with you perhaps?" Aragorn asked while standing up and looking Joyce in the eyes. Joyce nodded before she followed Aragorn out and into his room.
Closing the door behind him, he then turned around to face Joyce. "I wish to speak with you about your relationship with Legolas."
"What do you want to know then?"
"I don not wish to know anything. I just want to warn you. I know you two joined. Do not look so suprised. It is quite easy when one knows what to look for. I want to warn you about what other Elves or people will say. They might now accept that Legolas has joined in their eyes a mere mortal."
"I will fight for him, Aragorn. You know better then anybody else, that the last couple of years have been hard. Not only on you but also on me. I just want some happyness in my life for a change. You fought for Arwen and you still are doing it. And when you will be king, you will marry her and make her your queen. I have never backed down from anything and I will not start now. I will fight for my relationship with Legolas." Joyce said getting angry.
"I know you will. If you believe in your love and the bond you two now share, I am certain you will prevail. We can speak of this matter another time, Alright, my little one?
Joyce nodded. Aragorn smiled at her and together the walked back into the main hall.
Legolas his eyes lid up when he sees Joyce walking into the main hall. He has been looking for her, ever since he found here nowhere near when he woke up.
Gandalf is telling Theoden and Eomer about what happened last night. Joyce smiles for a moment at Legolas before she walks of towards Merry and Pippin.
Sitting down next to him, she sees Pippin swallowing and preparing himself in what he thinks is another lecture. "It is okay, Pippin. I am not mad at you. Alright you were wrong with taking the Palantir, but else we would not know about Sauron´s plan."
"Joyce, what will Gandalf do with me?" Pippin asked.
"I honestly don´t know, Pippin. But I think you might want to pay attention to what Gandalf is saying now." Joyce answered while looking in Gandalf´s direction.
While Gandalf and the hobbits made for the stables, the rest moves to pack the stuff.
Joyce was stopped by Aragorn. "Gandalf told me that I should travel a differnt road than them. Legolas and Gimli can choose for themselves which road they want to travel but I want you with me. Will you? " He asked.
"Of couse I will. I promised didn´t I?" Joyce said.
Aragorn nodded and let her go then.
Legolas pressed her backpack in her hands. Joyce smiled and tried to say something to him but Gimli pushed them apart and said. "You broke the rule once, you will not do it again, if I can help it."
Joyce srugged and walked outside to her horse.
Patting Bredo on his nose, she then mounts him. Theoden then shouts and they are off again.
Galoping with the rest, Joyce can not help but wonder what the future will hold.
