Walk through the Forest
He growled lowly then his expression softened as he realized she was there and looking fine. "Your awake. And you look perfectly healthy. I am so…" She expected him to say relieved or at most annoyed but his face grew comically irritated. "…hate you! You come here unconscious with some strange disease I've not heard of then you prance down here all hyper and happy. I have been worried sick for forty eighty hours and what do I get for it? Scared out of my wits by you, that's what!"
She irrupted with hysterical laughing and put her hand over he mouth in a very unsuccessful attempt to stifle it. "I'm sorry you look so funny when you're mad."
He looked at her for a moment, in comic disbelief. At that moment he noticed her, really noticed her. Her hair had grown longer almost past her elbows when her arms were at her side and it was lighter than he was used to. She looked eerily beautiful, like how a gnarled old tree would look good in the proper sunlight. She also looked strangely like Galadriel, but he didn't have time to muse when he realized he was staring a bit.
He threw his hands in the air and let them drop with a slap to his sides. He took a deep breath and regained his dignity or what little was left of it. "Where is your favorite place in the entire world?" he asked out of the blue.
"I don't know, I've been to a lot of places but I suppose I would have to say Mirkwood. Thranduil is so nice, Galathil is so sweet and Nacumirus is so…Nacumirus. Not to mention it's beautiful there." She replied quickly.
"Well that doesn't tell me anything!"
"What did you expect?"
"Where you were born so I could then figure out who your parents are. But you still won't tell me." He explained exasperatedly.
"I'll tell you as much as I wish you to know." She informed him as a matter of factly.
He raised an eyebrow.
Begin Flashback
Galadriel came out of Aradel's room and quietly shut the door behind her.
"She has finally awoken, you will be glad to hear. You can talk to her when you are ready. If that moment is not soon you can…well do what you have been doing for the past two days." She informed him. He nodded solemnly.
"Do you think she'll actually tell me anything?" he asked apprehensively.
"She will tell you as much as she wishes you to know." She replied with a smile. With that she swept past him to the main hall where she would wait for both of them.
End Flashback
"Well it doesn't seem as though you wish me to know very much." He exclaimed frowning, childishly.
"I knew you were going to say that." She was grinning but that was overcome by a thoughtful look. "Hold on for a second."
She dashed up the stairs and talked in a hushed voice to the Lady. She nodded then came back down as Galadriel left to pursue other deeds in other areas of the talan. "What was that for?" he asked curiously.
"Oh, nothing. I just had a question."
"You seem to be on very friendly terms with Lady Galadriel." He said.
"I suppose I am. I have, in fact, never really thought about it but I am on better terms with her than most people would think. Most people don't like me." She said as though she didn't care. Which she really didn't.
"You are a very secretive person, you know that, Aradel." He retorted shortly.
"How so?"
"You could tell me what your 'condition' is. It would be helpful." He said rather impatiently.
"Do you need to know every little detail, honestly, Legolas? Are you that insecure?" she asked with a fake sad look. She started walking, out the doors and into the direction of the forest.
"It's not a matter of insecurity. It's a matter of being misinformed." He said after catching up to her as she stepped over a bed of flowers rather than go around.
"Well whatever it is, you at least have to give me five minutes to make up a good lie. You won't be satisfied with 'I have a cold'. Many a time that hasn't worked." She exclaimed as they stepped into the forest under the canopy of green, rays of sunlight filtering through in spots on the ground giving everywhere a nice tranquil feeling.
"What is wrong with you?"
"You really don't need to know. It's nothing and I'm fine now, it's not contagious and I won't get it ever again. It's like the chicken pox. It's a one time thing." She told him.
"I didn't mean that I meant what's wrong with your head. And why won't it let me know anything." He retorted wittily.
She turned to him and glared for a moment while he turned his own head to look at a passing oak that he would make a note to climb before the days end. "I only tell you things you need to know. Or that you won't use against me in five minutes or remember for the rest of your life and make fun of me for all the while. You seem to have an obsession with my supposed family. Is that really healthy, Legolas?"
He stopped in front of her making her stop suddenly to narrowly avoid bowling him over. "I have an obsession with your family," he said, "because you insist on not telling me anything. I am kept in the dark while you know almost everything about me. Wait, no. Darkness is where I would love to be. I am so far away from darkness that the darkness is a tiny dot to me. I can't see that dot, and I have Elven eyesight."
"Don't get upset, Legolas. I can feel a lecture coming on." She said even though she knew he wasn't listening. "Why do you even want to know? It has no relevance to the present day or future in any way."
"I want to know because I want to know you. I want to meet your mother so I can tell you how much you look like her. I want to meet your father so I can tell you how much you act like him. I want to meet whatever sibling you may have so I can tell you not to fight with them and you can tell me I do the exact same thing and even though I know it's true we'll fight about it. It's just plain irritating, Aradel." He said finishing with a sigh.
She looked barely awake. "I'll tell you what irritating. You, attempting to lecture me. You are really bad at that you know."
He shook his head and continued to walk, regaining their fast walking pace they had established while walking in the fellowship. Aragorn ran some of the time and it was awfully annoying. She had to jog for a second to catch up with him. "Well that was a lovely speech. It would have touched anyone but me."
"Thank you." He replied sarcastically with a sneer. "You can be really mean sometimes."
"Don't make me case you all around this forest until your to tired to continue then I beat the life out of you."
"I'm terrified." He exclaimed sarcastically. She stuck out her tongue at him and flicked him when he looked away. "Must be those squirrels again."
"Again?"
"Didn't one hit you over the head hours after you got here?" she explained simply.
"Yes, but how would you know that?" he asked suspiciously.
She hesitated a moment. "The Lady of the Golden Wood told me if you must know."
"Hm. Too bad Celeborn is away at the moment I would have liked to talk to him. He seems nice doesn't he." He replied.
"Just wonderful." She replied, her face impassive.
"Do I detect a tad bit of sarcastic resentment in your voice?" he asked feign amused.
"Me? Sarcastic? Never." She replied sarcastically as he rolled his eyes. Just then their ears pricked with the sound of an arrow whistling through the air. Legolas looked back but Aradel ducked and just in time too. An arrow with light blue feather shot just above her shoulder and lodged itself into a nearby tree.
A/N: I'm so sorry for the low low quality of the title but i just can't think of any. Sigh. I really have nothing to say. Nehoo, bye-bye!:D
Arein: Really? I have. And i would also like to remind you that Aradel gets quite homicidal when you call her an Elf and she would very much appreciate you not calling her one. Thank you. :D
