Haldir
Shocked, she turned to see a grinning Haldir in the distance. "I'll kill him!" she exclaimed leaping up, into a run in his direction. When she arrived in front of him she did not kill him but simply shoved him indignantly.
"You could have killed me you know."
"Not really, I was aiming for your shoulder." He said his grin widening, if that were possible.
"That is so much better." She said sarcastically. "Some friend you are."
"It's good to see you too." He replied.
"I would have talked to you when the fellowship was here but I didn't get a chance to. Sorry." She said.
"Yes, I heard you were talking to your-"
"He doesn't now, don't tell him please." She interrupted with an ever so slightly threatening look.
"Your what?" Legolas cut in.
"Nothing, Legolas."
"By the way, hello Haldir" he said, finally remembering his manners.
"Hello, Legolas."
"OK," he said quickly. "I heard you were busy."
She nodded. "Much better. Where are Orophin and Rumil?"
"They are guarding the borders of Lorien, what else?" he replied innocently.
"Aren't you supposed to be guarding the borders of Lorien?"
"I was on my lunch break actually." He reminded her.
"Very well, I'll let you off this time."
"Gee, thank you, your majesty." He said with a humorous mock bow. She laughed heartily.
"Good, now flee and do my bidding, minions!"
"Minions?"
"And Legolas."
"I am not doing your bidding. You haven't even told us your bidding yet. Do you think we can read minds?" he exclaimed offended.
"Yes."
"Well we can't. I can however read Dwarvish." Haldir boasted, ostentatiously.
"We really care, Haldir, we really do." Aradel commented sarcastically.
"I didn't know you knew Haldir in the first place." Legolas said.
"Please, Legolas this is not the time for delving into my past." She said rolling her eyes while he glared at her. "Haldir let's go to your house and get something to eat, I'm hungry."
"It's a talan."
"What does it matter what it's called, it's got food let's go." She said grabbing both their arms and dragging them in the direction of Haldir's home.
When they got there, they found both Rumil and Orophin at the kitchen table eating ham and mustard sandwiches. "What are you to doing here? You should be guarding the border." Haldir questioned with narrowed eyebrows as he sat down to pick a sandwich from the plate they had prepared, as did Legolas and Aradel. "Orcs could be invading the country as we speak."
"I seriously doubt that, Haldir." Aradel commented, swallowing a mouthful of sandwich.
"Why is that, Aradel." He said turning arrogantly to face her.
"Its called Nenya. And don't forget Galadriel's mirror."
He sneered at her from across the table. She rolled her eyes in response. The rest of the assembled part had nothing much to say for the most part of fifteen minutes. So they sat in silence eating their sandwiches, making pointless small talk.
"Would it be a good thing or a bad thing to be able to read minds?" Legolas wondered aloud, a thoughtful expression dawning on his sun drenched face. He was sitting opposite a window.
"Well I suppose it depends on the person. And whose mind they're trying to read." Orophin replied.
"I would love to be able to read minds." Rumil exclaimed, "I would be able to take orders without having to walk through five miles of forest."
"It would a good ability to have handy. I would want to be able to turn off the mind-reading portion though. I don't want people waking me up in the middle of the night because they are thinking to loudly." Legolas added.
"I would be reading everyone's minds all the time. Of course I would keep everything a secret." Haldir said, "Some things are not meant to be known by those other than those thinking it."
"I know the first person's mind I would read if I all of a sudden woke up with that ability." Legolas said, turning pointedly to look at Aradel who looked completely zoned out with a smile plastered onto her face.
"I would hate to be able to read minds." She said, "A lot of people have deep dark secrets that would disturb a lot of people more than most people would know. Some might now even be real but I know I think disturbing things I wouldn't want to read them."
"I think it would be cool." Rumil insisted.
"I agree." Aradel replied.
"I thought you didn't want to read minds." The Mirkwood Elf pointed out, with a smirk.
"I don't. I do, however, agree with the fact that Rumil does." They looked at her for a moment as though she was crazy, and she would be to if she were in there position, then burst out laughing. They couldn't stop for a long time, and soon had stitches in their sides. When that happened they mockingly scolded Aradel for making them laugh.
"Sorry for bringing a little cheer into this tedious meeting of bores from around the world." She had said holding her hands up in mock surrender.
"Look at the time, Aradel, we had better be getting back to Lord and Lady's talan for dinner." Legolas said when he finally stopped dramatically holding his side from laughter.
"Did Galadriel say when we had to be back?" she asked with a sigh.
"No."
"Then let's stay out for a while longer. Just about half an hour more, that's it. Then we'll head back." He looked reluctant but nodded in agreement none the less. "Good. Now, Haldir, I don't like your home. I'm sorry but it's the truth and now I'm going outside." She nodded to them all and left abruptly, Legolas following close behind. "Goodbye!" they both called over their shoulders as they went through the door.
When they had left Haldir to order his brothers back to work Aradel led her companion around, apparently in random directions. She ran through the underbrush with the speed and precision he believed only an Elf could have. He easily kept up with her but would have found it rather difficult to get ahead. A few times she randomly swung herself up to into the low hanging branches of a tree and proceeded to hop from branch to branch then dropped again without warning just in front of him.
After a few minutes of running, ducking, hopping and jumping up and down from trees they came across a clearing. There was a particularly large tree with so many uplifted roots at its base that they formed a sort of thick dome that looked like it was just begging to be climbed. A river ran through it more to the left and was sparkling brilliantly. The whole place was doused in golden-red evening sun making it seem to glow.
"Interesting." Legolas commented leaning casually against the root dome. "Did you come here on purpose or was it by chance?"
"Who knows?" she said with a smile spinning slowly to take in the beauty of the place. "Isn't it pretty?"
"Beautiful." He replied, his voice completely void of any enthusiasm. He shifted his position slightly.
"Careful. About three inches from where your left shoulder is, the roots are weak. They'll cave right in on you." She told him glancing quickly in his direction.
He narrowed his blue eyes. "You have been here before."
She rolled her eyes obviously. "Oh course. I stayed here for a while a long time back. You didn't know that? I thought it was painfully obvious."
"I knew that." He said not very convincingly.
She sighed and tilted her head upwards. "It's time we should go. Galadriel will have our heads if we're late."
"That's what I told you! But no. No one listens to that crazy Mirkwood Elf, do they?" he exclaimed throwing his hands in the air as they stepped out of the clearing back into the slowly darkening forest.
"Maybe it's because of what happened to your mother." She wondered aloud.
He stopped in his tracks. She stopped as well and looked back at him. "You mean when she broke her ankle? What does that have to do with my insanity?" They started walking again.
A/N: I would like to enormously stress something about Legolas' mother. SHE IS ALIVE! That's right Legolas' birth mother is alive and kicking, so to speak. I have yet to find any fic anywhere where his mother is alive. As for the insanity thing you know how everyone thinks there mother's are crazy. Well i do and he thinks she's crazy, secretly of course because that would be disrespectful to tell her so. Of course that doesn't stop him from telling Aradel so that's why she's making that referance. Nehoo, bye-bye!:D
Elven Script: Aw i'm sorry, please don't beat me! cringes in fear Glad you liked it though!:D
Arein: Yes, Legolas will find out eventually. Not anytime soon, thought, Aradel will see to that. :D
kougayurizoku: I try to update every two days, that way no one gets mad! Except perhaps for Elven Script for my cliffie (please don't beat me cringes) I hate those people who don't update too. Gr. O well!:D
