"Legolas, are you sleepy?" Haldir asked. The elfling was barely awake, curled up on Haldir's lap.
"N… No…" Legolas yawned. Haldir smirked.
"I think we best be going nana. Legolas is tired and tomorrow we will be setting off for Mirkwood." Haldir said, scooping Legolas into his arms. Mallriel kissed Legolas on his brow.
"Perhaps I will see you again, Legolas." Mallriel smiled, patting Legolas' head.
"Bye Legolas." Rumil and Orophin waved as Haldir left.
"D-do we really… hafta… Go back… To Mirk… Mirkwood… Tomorrow?" Legolas yawned again.
"Yes, we do. Your father must be terribly worried about you." Haldir said. Legolas yawned for the third time and clutched Haldir's tunic tightly as he fell asleep.
"Goodnight Legolas." Haldir smiled.

"Elrohir… Help… I can't get out of the bath… Help…" Elladan was stuck in the bath. Elrohir and Illiendal had left the room and no longer could hear Elladan's pleas.
"Ro, what if Elladan needs us? We are far away from him and if he calls we will not hear him." Illiendal pointed out.
"But I'm comfy here." Elrohir whined. Elrohir was curled up with Illiendal on a pile of pillows on the floor, his head rested on Cield's dog's fluffy body.
"ROHIR!" Elladan's scream was finally heard.
"He wants you." Illiendal grinned, taking Elrohir's spot as he finally left to tend to Elladan.
"Finally…" Elladan muttered as Elrohir entered the room. "Help me get out of here!"
Elrohir carefully held his wet twin and pulled him out of the bath and onto the floor, wrapping him with a towel. Elrohir called for Tonus, who bandaged Elladan's leg again. Elrohir dried his twin and dressed him, and then he carried his twin to where Illiendal waited for them.
"How are you feeling Elladan?" Illiendal asked as Elladan was dropped beside her.
"Good Illiendal. Thanks." Elladan sighed, lying his head down on the pillows.
"Does your leg hurt very much?" Illiendal asked, rubbing Elladan's back.
"Just a bit, nothing to worry about, I've had it worse." Elladan smiled, petting Cield's dog.
"Do you think Tonus will take good care of Mirkwood?" Elrohir asked.
"Doubt it." Elladan smirked.
"And why do you say that? Tonus is my father's heir and he will inherit the throne one day!" Illiendal glared at Elladan but was smiling.
"Well, what with Cield's concussion he may be busy… Too busy to rule Mirkwood." Elladan shrugged.
"What do you mean, Cield's concussion? Cield hurt himself?"
"I believe so."
"I have to make sure he's alright!" Illiendal was about to jump up when Elrohir put a hand on her shoulder.
"Last I checked Cield was unconscious. But I know he's alright." Elrohir said, as Illiendal got comfortable again next to Elladan.
"I will go back and check on him, alright? Keep my twin happy." Elrohir smirked as he left.
Illiendal was not often alone with one of the twins. Elladan and Elrohir where both so close to each other that it were impossible to separate them. Illiendal had not been alone with Elladan for at least a year.
"So… How is… Sernaer?" Elladan asked quietly, thinking saying first Mirkwood elf that he could think of.
"He was shot and killed two years ago, remember?"
"Oh… Uh… Yea, I forgot… Sorry." Elladan murmured.
"It's alright, you don't remember much to begin with." Illiendal smiled, cuddling close to Elladan.
"Yep. That's true. Why don't you tell me the story of how Sernaer was killed?" Elladan asked, then realised how stupid it was of him to ask someone to tell him how someone they loved was killed.
"He jumped in front of an arrow."
"The idiot. Oops!" Elladan covered his mouth with his hand. "I did not mean that! It sounded stupid of him but he must have had his reasons, Illie I don't think Sernaer was an idiot please forgive me!" Elladan said.
"He jumped in front of the arrow because it would have hit me."
"Oh! Well then I cant blame him, I would have too, it's not that stupid after all!" Elladan sighed.
"You would have too? That's sweet of you, Dan." Illiendal smiled.
"Where was he buried? I hope you don't mind me asking… Questions like these, because if it bothers you…"
"No, I do not mind, Sernaer is gone and it's been two years so I am used to that now. He was buried near the palace in a clearance, right under a tree that he loved."
"You must miss him so much, you loved him a lot."
"I did love him a lot but during the final years of his life there was another elf who I started to… like."
"Oh really? Do you still like this elf?"
"Yes… But I don't know if he likes me."
"Do I know this elf?"
"He is a half-elf…"
"Damn it's Elrohir! He's a damned elf Illiendal you should not fall for such elves like him he's a real idiot and will probably jump in front of an arrow, but for no reason-
"Don't you realise she's talking about you, you twit?" Elrohir yelled from the kitchens.
"Me? Really? I'm flattered!" Elladan smiled happily.
"Yes. It is you." Illiendal smiled as Elladan pulled her closer.
"Well in that case, this elf likes you." Elladan smiled.
