Chapter 6
"Elladan"
"Yes"
"Legolas wants to see you"
Elladan followed his father up the stairs, brooding. "Me, father?"
"Yes, you. Not Elrohir, not 'the twins', you."
Elladan pushed open the door and walked over to Legolas's bed, where the young elf was propped on a pile of cushions. "Are you feeling better, Legolas?"
Legolas nodded, feeling sick and weak.
"That's good." Said Elladan, feeling rather awkward.
"You won't tell anyone, will you?" Legolas said listlessly.
Elladan was utterly confuzzled. "Tell… one… what?"
"That I was so scared I was crying and that I was sick and… everything?" Legolas hung his head, ashamed.
Elladan had a sudden burst of understanding. That was so absurd he hardly would have thought of it. Elves were proud creatures-especially royal elves. He would never dream of gouging anyone's ego that deeply. "No." Elladan said quickly "I'll never tell anybody."
Legolas suddenly burst into tears. "I'm so pathetic!" He sobbed. "To think I'm supposed to be a prince! To one day lead my people! I'm so hopeless!" He cried, flopping back on his pillow.
"Oh, Legolas! No, you're not!" Elladan said frantically. "You were really brave for someone who's never seen a troll before!"
"Really brave?" Legolas repeated incredulously, "Really brave? I wasn't brave, Elladan, not at all. I…" He cut off abruptly.
"You what?" Elladan pressed.
Legolas hung his head. "When I first saw the troll, I was so scared I… I… wet myself" He blushed furiously. "That's not very brave."
Elladan placed a hand on Legolas's shoulder and lifted his chin with two fingers. "It's alright, Legolas. It's ok to be scared sometimes. I would have started screaming if I had saw a troll at your age. You are too young to worry about things like that just yet. I promise I won't tell anyone, alright?"
"Elrohir to?" Legolas asked.
"Legolas, when one twin makes a promise, it's good for both of us. You rest now. Elrohir and I will come see you later."
Legolas yawned and nodded sleepily. Elladan left and pulled the door closed behind him. He smiled, and went to find his brother.
