Hey, sorry this chapter took so long but I had a bad case of writer's block and it just lifted like yesterday. Since then I have been writing furiously to get this done for you guys. Thank you to all your reviews! Without them, I really would have been stuck and probably would not have even gotten this done. Anyway, let us get to the chapter shall we?

Against All Odds- Chapter 2
Later that evening, Legolas looked around the room Aragorn had provided for him. It was obviously one of the nicer rooms in the Citadel. It was large and had its own private bath. The bed was huge and comfortable.
Just as Legolas decided he would take a bath, there came a knock at the door.
"Legolas?" Aragorn said from behind the door.
"Come in' Legolas replied.
The door opened and Aragorn stepped inside. "I was just passing by and thought I would look in on you. I hope you are finding everything to your liking."
"Oh yes. Thank you," Legolas Replied. "The room is wonderful."
"I am glad you enjoy it." Aragorn said. He turned to leave but hesitated. "Legolas, do you think that we may need Rohan's help as well as Gondor's to defeat Maeglin?"
"I am sure Gondor can crush Maeglin's forces easily." Legolas replied.
"But if Mirkwood cannot hold the orcs off alone and neither Lothlorien nor Rivendell have pledged their help, can it hurt to have Rohan help us?"
"I am sure Gondor can handle it alone. Besides I doubt Rohan would come to the aid of Mirkwood. We have done nothing to help them after all."
"They would help if I asked it of them. Éomer would come to you aid. Not all the races of Middle Earth are as selfish as elves can be.'
"Are you saying I'm selfish?"
"Well not you, specifically, but you must admit, Legolas, your kind do tend to be a bit self centered."
"Call for Rohan if you wish, O King, but do not hope for their help." Legolas said bitterly.
"Well I am sorry if I have bothered you, Legolas." Aragorn said. He turned and once again began to leave.
"Aragorn, wait!" Legolas said quickly. "Forgive me I was wrong to loose my temper."
Aragorn sighed. "It is alright Legolas. I know how hot headed you elves can get.' He said with a smile. "I had best be on my way. It is getting late." Aragorn exited the room and headed for his own.
Darn I thought this would have been longer than it actually is. I must write big cause this is a page shorter then when I wrote it. (And I did not change anything!) Anyway R&R please!
