Chapter 120: Pony

"Haldir, ada said you'd come and ride my llama with me once you finish your bath... are you done yet?"

"Just leave me for a minute so I may come out of the bath and dress myself." Haldir told Legolas, who shut the bathroom door and waited with impatience outside the door. When Haldir finally got dressed Legolas climbed up Haldir's leggings and into his arms as they left to the stables. Thranduil, who was supported by his wooden staff, stood in the stables.

"Hi Ada!"

"I have a surprise for you, Legolas."

Legolas followed his father (and Haldir followed Legolas) to where Legolas' llama's enclosure was. But in Haldir the llama's place was a auburn pony.

"Where's my llama?"

"This is a pony."

"But where's my fluffy llama?"

"I bought you this pony, and your llamas will soon be sold."

"ADA!" Legolas began to cry, loving his llamas so much.

"Legolas, the pony is bigger! And-

"WANT LLAMA!" Legolas screamed as he cried.

Thranduil sighed and called over a servant, whispered something to him, and soon the servant returned with Legolas' beloved llamas, Haldir and Haldir.

"My llamas!" Legolas shrieked as he ran to hug his llamas. Thranduil sighed.

"Ada... can I still keep my pony?"

"Yes..." Thranduil sighed hopelessly.

"Thanks Ada... I'll call my pony... Ada!" Legolas giggled, embracing his little pony. "Ada, will you be riding with me and Hal?"

"No sweetheart, my leg is not well enough. Now I must meet Aradol in the armory, and after I shall be spending time with Tonus."

"Can I come with you to the armory?"

"But, you are riding your llama, are you not my little Greenleaf?"

"I can ride AFTER! Now I want to go in the armory! I promise I will stay really close and I wont touch and I wont wander off and I will be really quiet!" Legolas begged.

"I fear I spoil you... come Legolas, if you want to come with me to the armory... but stay quiet and close, and do not touch or run." Thranduil told the elfling, who eagerly took Thranduil's hand as they went to the armory. Haldir decided to ride Tonus' horse around in the field whilst he waited for the elfling to return.
