Chapter 98: Ada is smelly

Legolas took his father's hand in his small innocent hand and skipped his way to the room.

"Ada?"

"Yes ion-nin?"

"Did you ever get stung?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"When I was a child."

"How old were you?"

"Some thirteen mortal years. I was helping uncle Calenmir with his bow-

"But uncle Calenmir is really good with his bow!"

"Yes, but he was even younger than you at that time... Well, Calenmir hit a bee's hive, and the bees seemed mad. Calenmir got scared and would not move, but the bees where headed straight towards us, so I threw Calenmir in a small pond beside us, since the bees would not get him in the water. But of course, doing this took too much time and I, instead of my brother, was the victim of the bees... over twenty five stingers in me and some got deep in my skin that the healers had much trouble getting out them. It was painful, and then I learnt I was allergic to bee stings, worse than you of course, as I was swelling, I had rashes and hives everywhere, and I itched."

"Ow. Did you get mad at uncle Calenmir?"

"Yes, since I was in pain."

"What did you do?"

"Legolas, if I tell you, it would not set a good example. What I did was wrong and-

"Just tell me! I wont do it!"

"I pushed Calenmir down the palace stairs... and I was grounded to my room for the next two months, and by the time the second month of my grounding had started I had tried to escape from the palace so many times my father had me locked in the dungeons for a week. That taught me not to leave my room for the rest of my grounding."

"That must have been a long time!"

"Indeed it was, and worst of it all was the fact I had to wear a pink dress, as my father allowed Calenmir to select a punishment for me as well."

"Did you look like a girl?"

"Yes."

"Did you smell like a girl?"

"Legolas, how can one smell like a girl?"

"Cause nana was a girl and she always always smelt pretty and like flowers but you smell like orc and yuck most of the time. Some times you smell like lemons, but lemons are gross."

"So, you claim that girls smell of flowers yet I smell like orcs and such - or lemons?"

"Yes. And orc poop."

Thranduil rolled his eyes.

"This is the room!"

"Alright..."

Thranduil took the keys he had left Haldir, and tried each in the keyhole until one fit. Thranduil turned the handle and again smiled as if he was a young child as he saw all the toys.
