Chapter 26: Lost Scarf
"Come Haldiw! Come come! Lets go play! Lets go play now!"
Haldir slowly got out of bed, despite Tonus' pleads not to and to rest.
The small elfling nearly ran outside in just his nightclothes if it was not thanks to Haldir who caught the elfling gently by his braid of hair, causing Legolas to stop in his tracks.
"You are not planning to go outside in you pajamas, now are you?"
Legolas made a face as Haldir carefully picked him up in one arm, carrying him up to his bedroom. Haldir had only the use of one hand, but still unbuttoned the prince's nightclothes with ease. The last three buttons where much harder, as the prince squirmed terribly.
"Legolas, please, stop."
The elfling paid no attention.
"Please, please Legolas. Might I remind you that I have a broken finger and-
"Sorry... I forgot."
Legolas slumped down and let the older elf take off his nightclothes, changing him into his small, leather tunic.
Legolas jumped off his bed as soon as Haldir finished and ran off. Haldir knew the elfling could not do much, as he had locked the doors, Thranduil had cleaned the house of most weapons, locking necessary ones away, and Haldir had all the windows and balcony doors shut tight after Legolas' incident.
Haldir took this moment of Legolas-Free time to quickly change into his own clothing, having on his bed robes at the moment. As soon as he was changed he caught the small elfling who was struggling to unlock the door.
"Nay Legolas. First you need to get your snow clothes on or you will freeze... I do feel sorry for your father, coming home in just a cloak with all this snow..."
Haldir took the small elfling's jacket off its hook and knelt down, placing the jacket on the elfling and buttoning it up. Legolas put his winter boots on while Haldir got his own jacket and cloak on. Legolas managed to put his cloak on by himself but needed Haldir's help to get his hat off the top shelf. The elfling loved his little blue, warm, woolly hat with the sparkly silver pompom on top.
Soon Haldir was ready, and Legolas was certain he was.
"Lets go now Haldiw, before the snow is all melted!"
"Now Legolas... you need a scarf or your neck will get frost bite around your neck."
"But Haldiw, last winter I lost my scarf when Cield took it and hided it outside. I never found it!"
"That could be a problem."
