Chapter Four: Bath and Bananas
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Legolas yelled as he ran down the halls. Haldir had stoped chasing him and had started his bath. As soon as Legolas ran pass the bathroom, Haldir snatched him up into the air.
"This time you are taking your bath." Haldir grinned, unbuttoning the first button on Legolas' tunic. Legolas bit Haldir's hand as hard as he could, making Haldir drop him suddenly. Legolas had caused Haldir to bleed very slightly, and Haldir was not too happy about that.
Legolas turned to run out of the room,but found that his babysitter had locked the door. He reached up and tried as hard as he could to unlock the door. His arms could not reach the lock, so had a different plan.
"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Legolas yelled, jumping into the tub of water fully dressed. "Legolas!" Haldir reprimanded, now covered in water. Legolas giggled. "Sorry Haldiw." he muttered as Haldir put soap in his hair and lathered it.
Once he rinsed Legolas' hair, he pulled him out of the tub and wrapped a towel around the prince. "Look at you! You got all your clothes wet! You know very well your father would be furious." Haldir said sharply. Legolas lay his head on Haldir's chest.
"Please Haldiw, don tell Ada I been bad. Please! Ada will get weally, weally mad!" Legolas cried. "Dont cry, don't cry! Please, just don't cry! I am not mad at you." Haldir panicked. He was never good with children.
He rocked the elfling in his arms, then brought Legolas to his room and changed him into a dry tunic. Legolas snuggled up to Haldir and embraced him tightly. "I love you Haldiw. You awe the best babysittew I evew had." Legolas whispered.
"Banana time." smirked Haldir. "Oh No!" Legolas yelled, realizing his was trapped in Haldir's arms and could not escape. Haldir got the bananas, smashed well, and shoved a few spoons in Legolas' mouth.
Legolas shut his mouth tightly this time. "Please! Open! Look, it a, erm, an elf warrior! Open for the elf warrior? For the arrow? The knife?" Haldir begged. Legolas refused. Legolas took a handful of bananas and shot them in Haldir's face.
"Nay Legolas, you know better." Haldir scolded, lifting the elfling and giving him a small spanking, which Legolas did not like very much. "Sorry." Legolas muttered as he was placed back down in his favorite chair.
Haldir brought Legolas upstairs and put him into his crib. "Goodnight little one." Haldir smiled. Legolas yawned and got drowsy. "Tell me a story Haldir. Please." Legolas begged. "If you promise to behave." Haldir told him. "Yef, I promise." Legolas smiled. "Yef?" Haldir asked, grinning. "Yef! Yef!" Legolas sang his way of saying yes.
"Alright then." Haldir smiled, scoping the baby into his arms.
