Note: Thanks for all the wonderfull reviews. I love you all so much. Please keep it up and if there are any ideas please post them. Let's begin.
Nienna was still sitting with Legolas. The Elf was still unconsciousness.
"We have pushed him to hard." She heard Aragorn's voice said before she turned around.
"His wounds were inflicted by Saruman. I tried to bind them the best way I can but I think he needs some rest. The last few days have been hard." Nienna said quitly.
"Why don't you go and change? The King's niece is here. Her name is Eowyn, she might have spare dress for you and if you want to you can bath while I sit with Legolas."
Nienna nodded and with one last worried glance towards Legolas, she left the room.
Aragorn saw the look in her eyes before she left. "She might start caring for him." He thought.
Nienna walked into the hallway where she found a young woman standing. The woman turned around and smiled before she said. "You must be Lady Nienna."
Nienna nodded and the woman continued. "Alright, I am Eowyn. Come with me. You are the first woman I have seen in days."
Eowyn led the way and Nienna followed her through halls into a room. "What do you wish to do?" Eowyn asked her while closing the door and locking it.
"Well a bath would be very much needed., I think." Nienna said while snuffing up her own smell.
Eowyn smiled and said. "How come you have been traveling with the Lord Gandalf?"
"He saved me." Nienna stated matter of factly while she bit in a apple.
"Alright, There is a bath in there and I will be right back with a clean and nice dress." Eowyn said while she walked out of the room.
Nienna finished her apple and then walked into the bathroom where she filled the bathtub with nice hot water. When she had shed all her clothes, she untied her hair and let it fall unto her back.. She then slowly stepped into the bath and let out a sign while she relaxed herself.
She wondered how long ago it was, since she last had a bath. Well there was the stream about 4 days ago but that could hardly be called a bath since she could not be fully relaxed and naked. Now was the first time in roughly 400 years that she going to be fully clean and that she might actually smell nice.
Getting the shampoo, she started washing her hair.
When she was done, she stepped out of the bathtub and while grabbing a towel and putting it one, she walked out of the room. She smiled when she saw that Eowyn had left her a dress and a brush.
Grabbing the brush, she brushed her hair until it was fully untangeled. She then picked up the dress and while making sure that the door was locking, she put it on.
It was a pale blue dress, simple but it was enough to make her feel like an Elf-maiden again. Something she had not felt for all the time, she was a slave.
She smiled when she saw herself in the mirror. She was not Nienna, the slave anymore now she was; "Nienna, daughter of Elrohir of Riveldell." She breathed.
She then spun around like she was a little child and grinned and laughed when her dress twirled after her.
"I see that you are doing a lot better." Gandalf's voice sounded from the door. She did not even asked how he got in but instead hugged the old Wizard and then hopped of the room.
Aragorn laughed when she came hopping by and he said. "You look good, niece."
She only smiled and walked towards the hall on her barefeet. She wanted to walk outside but something stopped her from going there. Something telling her, that it was not yet safe for her to go outside.
Instead she turned right and walked straight to Legolas's room. She could barely contain herself but knocked before she entered.
"Enter." He called, though her Elven ears could detect the well-hidden pain in them.
She strolled gracefully inside and she heard Legolas's sharp intake of breath told her everything she needed to know, that he was awake enough to notice the change in her.
"You look beautiful, Nienna." He said before sitting up straight.
She noticed that he winced and said. "Please don't get up, on my acount. I wish to thank you, Legolas. You have helped me when I needed it, thank you for that."
Legolas only smiled and answered. "It is alright, Mellon-Nin. It was my pleasure."
She nodded and before he could say one more thing hugged him and pulled back to disapear out of the room again.
Legolas signed softly before he got up and dressed himself. How could he think of her when she only though of him as a friend?
Nienna walked to the hall with her though on Legolas. Maybe this world was not so bad after all if she had friends to share it all.
Hope you liked it. Please review.
