Disclaimer- Yeah, again if I were Tolkien, one I wouldn't be here cause I would be in heaven and another I would be so filthy rich I would be in the Caribbean.

A/N- Sorry that I haven't written in a while. Horrible thing called exams. Seems that the government decides we need more. Just want to thank my beta, Greenfly, for being consistently nagged to read my work. Babes, don't know what I would do without ya! Anyhow, we carry on….i love ya kiki! You haven't nagged me at all!

The elves slowly spread in order to allow the Crown prince Calarian and Prince Legolas passage to the corridor. They walked in silence for a few moments. Calarian was stunned that his baby brother had come back.

He had no idea what to say. Instead he resorted to glancing at Legolas occasionally out of the corner of his eye. He thought that he wouldn't be found out but that changed when Legolas said,

"Prince Calarian, do you find it necessary to stare at me?"

Legolas had never had a brother before and didn't know how one would react. He had gone, in the space of a very few days from being an orphan to having a family and being a prince.

It was enough to turn anyone's head around. He had no idea how one addressed royalty even though he himself was one. Calarian glanced back down at him.

"Legolas, you need now address me as Crown Prince," he said wincing, "I am your brother. Address me as one addresses a friend."

Calarian's mind was still reeling from his brother's coming back and all that had happened. The two elves slowly made their way down the passage. Calarian half carrying his baby brother although Legolas would never admit weakness in front of his new family.

Legolas glanced back up at him and said, "Alright. I shall address you as Calarian, but merely because you request it. I have lived most of my life without a brother and I don't know how to behave. My father and mother died when I was …"

Here Legolas broke off seeing the wince on his brother's face.

"Calarian, mellon nin? Is everything alright?" (My friend).

Calarian's face, if possible, took on a deeper grimace. He suddenly realised that all his hopes of having his little brother were dashed. Legolas might be here in body, but they had lost him as a baby brother forever. He would only see them as his friends and nothing more, discounting all blood relation they might share.

Calarian smiled, though Legolas noted that it didn't reach his eyes, "Nay, Legolas. Nothing is wrong. Ah see! We have entered the Royal Corridor. I believe that your room was this one," he said glancing at a door on his right that was covered in dust. "I would normally allow you to see it, but I have a feeling that Ada would prefer it if you were to see him first."

Legolas nodded stoically and took his warrior mode as if preparing for battle. Calarian was stunned. This wasn't how Legolas should be feeling! Instead Legolas' blue/ grey eyes turned a stormy grey.

Legolas just glanced at his elder brother before nodding and turning to face the double doors that stood before them. Calarian sighed before knocking and saying,

"Ada?"

"Enter!" boomed a voice tinged with sorrow. This was it, Legolas said to himself. No more beating around the bush. He would finally see his father properly for the first time. Taking a deep breath he entered after his brother.

"Legolas?" a voice whispered.
