Chapter 16: Do you know the muffin elf
"Alright little yellow leaf, I will bake muffins with you."
"Yay! Oh Thank you Haldiw you so nice! Tonus and Cield never bake with me 'cause they dont want me to burn a finger. And Ada is always too busy." Legolas looked sad at the fact his family never had time for him, but continued to embrace Haldir.
Haldir carried the elfling down to the kitchen and began to take out all the supplies needed to bake the muffins for Legolas, while the elfling danced around the room singing.
"Do you know da muffin elf? Da muffin elf! Da muffin elf! Do you know da muffin elf who lives in Lothlorien?"
Haldir chuckled and picked up the excited elfling and passed him an egg.
"Break it."
"Okay!"
Legolas cracked the egg on his head, but the insides poured all down his hair unlike the prince's plans.
"Uh oh."
"It's okay Legolas, your father has many more eggs..."
Haldir got out two new eggs and with one showed the elfling a proper technique of cracking the eggs. Legolas nodded his head, smiling, and did the same: Cracking the egg on the bowl instead of his head.
Legolas felt loved so much whenever Haldir would let him pour food into the bowl, and soon the prince was filthy and Haldir couldn't care less, having far too much fun with the baby.
"Now stay back Legolas, the fire is hot."
Haldir placed the muffins above fire and took the elfling in his arms, sitting on a chair with him.
Legolas' small hands slowly went up Haldir's chest, around his ears and resting in his silky hair, a place where Legolas enjoyed playing in when his father picked him up as Haldir did.
"Little elfling, you told me before your father has no time for you. Is this true?"
"Yef... and no. Ada cant play with me all the time like you do. But Ada still play a bit with Las."
Haldir smiled and gently tickled the prince under his chin making him giggle happily and try and stop the older elf from tickling him.
"Muffins are ready, I will get them. You stay here as not to burn yourself."
Haldir got up and carefully pulled out the baked, huge chocolate chip muffins. Legolas smiled as Haldir put them aside.
"I want to eat!"
"Not now Yellow Leaf first let them cool. I must go talk to Tonus, so you be a good boy and keep away from them."
Haldir left the room, hoping the elfling would keep to him. Though that was rare for the sweet elfling who was starving for a fresh muffin.
Legolas had already managed to climb up the counter top in the small time Haldir was gone. He had chosen a very chocolaty muffin and was going to pull it out.
To Be Continued...
I have chapters 5 and up (providing that they are not part of Twins and a Greenleaf) but I would really like to have chapters 4 and down.
