Chapter 30: Snow Valars, Snow elves, Snow-Lake-Men, snow-coated- Haldirs...
Haldir followed the elfling outside. Legolas plopped down onto the snow, his legs getting wet and cold, but for an elfling of his age all that mattered was that he had fun. Legolas waved his arms and legs then stood back up, admiring his creation.
"Look Haldiw! It's a snow Valar!"
"Very nice Legolas!" Haldir had not even looked over at the snow Valar.
"HALDIW!!! You no lookie!"
Haldir looked.
"Yes, very lovely!"
Legolas then abandoned him snow Valar, stepping all over it, and made a snowball. He rolled it into the snow until it was his height (Haldir being forced to push it when Legolas could no longer). He took twigs and stuck them on either side of the enormous snowball, drew a face with a bare finger (then his finger turned red and he cried, so Haldir warmed his finger by giving him his own gloves and finishing Legolas' mouth that he drew), using pebbles from the snow-free path to the elven halls to make eyes, using a baby carrot (he could not find any other carrots) and using Scarfy the scarf as the snow elf's scarf.
"Tis done! Haldiw, tis done!"
Legolas pranced around the snowman (which was only one giant snowball, looking quite odd, but not a single elf guard or Haldir pointed that out, though they all clearly held in giggles).
"Nice snow elf Legolas. Very well done for an elfling of your age!" Haldir complimented the elfling, but, it seemed to upset Legolas.
"It is NOT a snow elf, it is a SNOW-LAKE-MAN-OF-LAKE-TOWN. I call him Joe!"
Haldir chuckled.
"Now I want ta make a Snow-Coated Haldiw!"
"How do you do that?" Haldir asked nervously.
Legolas ran forward and tackled his babysitter to the ground. Galion, who had been watching and holding so much laughter inside burst out in tears of laughter and Haldir landed in the snow, the elfling following Haldir in the snow bank.
When Haldir sat up, he was covered in melting snow, as well was the elfling. Legolas smiled innocently.
"I think we should go inside..."
"NO! Please Haldiw, I really want to ski and toboggan!"
Haldir looked at the small elfling.
"Oh fine. Just because you are such a sweetheart and you have been behaving quite well... Aside from creating a 'Snow Coated Me'."
Legolas kissed Haldir on his cold cheek and pranced over to the cabin Thranduil kept skies and sleds the elfling loved.
