In the Mines
Legolas walked beside Aradel, "Lle naa curucuar." He said complimenting her on her skillful bowing.
She smiled at his compliment, "Hannon lle. Lle sha." She replied, returning the compliment.
He smiled even wider, they hadn't had a conversation in Elvish in a long time and this was the closest they were going to get for a long time for she didn't like to speak it, though she could. "Lle creoso."
They walked for a long time through the haunting mines passing many skeletons and remains of a lost battle. The wondered far until at the top of a stairway and the beginning of several paths Gandalf said, "I've forgotten the way."
They sat at the top of the stairs and lit a fire to keep warm, for the mines got very cold at night, or so Gimli told them. They all sat around the fire some talking happily some just sitting staring into the fire. Sam was the first to fall asleep, then Pippin and Merry, then Gimli, then Frodo and Gandalf, until only Aradel, Legolas, and Aragorn were left.
Legolas and Aradel were having another one of their arguments whilst Aragorn simply sat and listened. "It's not my fault I fight better than you, I'm older than you. And besides I trained for years and have had much more experience." She told him.
"Ha! You wish, just because you are less skilled in fighting, and are a woman doesn't mean you should lie to me like that. I doubt your half my age." He replied dubiously.
She laughed mockingly. "Oh, yes! Me being a woman so has everything to do with it. Why do you keep bringing that up anyway?" she rolled her eyes. "It's not like I'm a weakling or anything. Oh, please help me mister big strong man, I'm a damsel in distress and have no way of defending myself." She put on a girlie, preppy, voice.
He laughed at her folding her hands and putting them up by her innocently fluttering eyelashes while she leaned in towards him to increase the effect. Even Aragorn, who had stayed silent through the entire, long, conversation, laughed. "Don't worry my lady I'll protect you." Legolas said putting a sarcastic arm around her and hugging he close. He put on a suspicious, squinty-eyed face and looked directly at Aragorn.
"What?" he asked innocently. "Why would I kill any of you for you power and wealth?" he said sarcastically. They all laughed and found it hard to stop. When one has traveled for so many miles without laughing the first chance they get they laugh it up like lunatics. Eventually they fell silent and Aradel felt the exhaustion creeping over her like a cloak being pulled over her face. She fell asleep in Legolas' arms and he and Aragorn talked some more.
"Can you take her now? I'm going to go lay down over there." Legolas gently pushed her over onto Aragorn's chest before he had a chance to answer. "And be careful not to wake her. She will get violent if she's woken. Not exactly a morning person." He nodded goodnight and went to lay down and soon fell asleep.
Aragorn, however, stayed to stare into the fire some more. He sat in peace, with his arm around Aradel's shoulder, thinking about whatever happened to float into his mind, every once in a while he would say something out loud to himself. That is until Aradel jerked in a strange way and he finally noticed that her eyes weren't fluttering as they had done when he had last seen her sleeping.
"You're not really asleep are you?" he whispered. She opened her eyes and raised her eyes to meet his.
"No. You caught me. I woke up when Legolas passed me off to you." She replied sleepily.
"Why didn't you say anything?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"Because I was still half asleep and I wanted to go back to sleep. But I couldn't so here I am." She said rubbing her eyes. He smiled and put his arm around her again. "Beside the point I was comfortable where I was." She glanced at him to see his reaction. She was not one to flirt but on occasion it was nice to see men squirm.
"Are you not going to join Legolas to sleep?" he asked with a grin.
"No, I don't think so, not tonight. It's freezing over there. Even with these fancy cloaks. It's warm here by the fire." She replied staring into the fire, oblivious to the fact that he was now staring at her strangely. "And wipe that grin off your face. You've nothing to grin about."
He tried with best efforts to wipe the grin off his face but ended up with a wider grin then ever. "Well, I wouldn't say that." He said bluntly.
"Whatever do you mean? Aragorn, I swear sometimes you make no sense whatsoever." She commented shaking her head slightly.
"Never mind. It's stupid and you won't believe me anyway." He answered blankly.
She grinned too. "Whatever you like. You have the right to remain silent." She lifted his arm off of her shoulder. "I think I will go over there now. The fire's a bit to warm for my liking. Good night, Estel." He whipped his head around to look at her as she walked away, but she didn't look back. How did she know about that? No matter he went on with staring into the fire and eventually fell asleep beside the fire, which by the way was contained by several well-placed rocks.
A/N: Concerning the Elvish it goes somewhere along the lines of "you fight well and thanks you to. I lost the translation and it might not be entirely acurate but it's the best i've got at the moment. Sorry for any inconvieniance. Well any questions or comments you have are very very welcome so R&R please. Nehoo bye-bye!:D
