Arariel made her way back upstairs to her chambers. When she reached them, she closed the door behind her and leaned against it, closing her eyes. She sighed.
"Why do you sigh m'lady? I would think that after my confession to you, you would be happy" came a voice.
Her eyes snapped open, and when she saw who was sitting on her bed, she smiled sadly.
"I am happy Legolas, It's just..." she trailed off.
"Its what?" he asked softly.
She walked over to the bed and sat down next to him. She turned to face him.
"Your 'fiance' ..."
"What about her?"
"She...Well she threatened me..."
"She WHAT?"
"She told me to stay away from you, Legolas. She knows!"
Legolas cursed under his breath.
"I will have to tell her...but after I tell her she may try to get to you...."
Legolas got up and paced the room. How could he tell Ancalime if some harm might come to Arariel. He could not let that happen. But he had to tell her. Finally Legolas decided to go to Aragorn in the morning and ask him. But tonight he would not leave Arariel alone; he did not want to leave her.
"I do not think I should leave you alone tonight..."
"I will be fine Legolas, I can defend myself."
"Yes, you are right, I was being silly..."
"Or maybe..." she smiled coyly at him, "Maybe, you just don't want to leave..."
"You caught me." He said as he put his arms to her waist.
"Well, I'd let you stay but..."
"But...?"
"But, I can't resist you. I can't defend myself against you..."
"Well, I suppose I had better leave then"
Legolas turned to leave.
"No! You can stay..."
"Well then, what is your defence?" he asked, his arms once again going around her waist, "How are you going to repel me?"
"Like this..." she said, kissing him gently, "To start, you are sleeping on the chaise"
He laughed.
"You think that will stop me?"
Now it was Arariel's turn to laugh.
"It is bad enough as it is, if anyone finds you here. I will be branded a whore!" she exclaimed. "Please Legolas, I want my honour intact"
He looked at her strangely.
"You are not a ..."
Arariel blushed and turned away.
"And if I am?"
She felt a pair of arms go around her from behind.
"We will wait then..." he said and kissed her lovingly.
"Thankyou. Legolas you don't know what this means to me" she said turning around to face him.
Legolas broke their embrace and turned to leave.
"Thankyou" she whispered as he closed the door.
