(-)Chapter 17(-)
The few elves that could hear him glanced over in shock and worry. All the elves at the table other than that one all liked the man and had known him as a child.
Sardyn couldn't help the slightly amused look on his face, "That was slightly harsh you know."
"Perhaps, but I apologized did I not? I really am tired... I haven't slept properly in over a year..."
The elf laughed slightly, "You should go to bed early tonight."
"I intend to," he smiled genuinly this time, "I can't remember what a pillow feels like," he joked.
Sardyn chuckled, "Sorry there wasn't much I could do about your comfort."
"Hey, don't appologize," he shook his head in amusement, "they probably would have killed you if you tried."
The elf smiled wryly, "Probably."
Lunch ended an hour later. The looks were continually sent to the elf but they had given up challenging them and simply ignored them.
Aragorn glanced over at the elf as they left the dining hall, "Don't worry about them, I think they're more confused than anything else."
"Aye, I know."
"I don't intend to go back down there for dinner, I'll ask ada if he can send it to my room, we can stay away from those looks that way, unless of course they dare climb onto my balcony to give them through the glass," he joked.
Sardyn laughed, "Thank you Ruith."
"Why thank me?" he said in mock indredulousness, "I don't want to be down their either! I'm doing this for me, not you," he joked.
"Of course," the elf smiled, still slightly surprised at the change in his friend.
"Now, come with me and I'll show you around, we'll just wait for Legolas."
"Why wait?" the elf muttered wryly as he closed the door of the hall behind him.
"Well if we didn't you'd be standing here looking like an idiot," he joked, eyeing the elf's stature.
Legolas unconsciously uncrossed his arms and blinked.
The other two laughed.
"Come Legolas, before my brother's find us," he laughed, then paused, "I think we should check our rooms first," he muttered nervously.
Legolas winced, "Indeed, they'll be making up for lost time. We'll have to keep an eye on them. They dissapeared for a while during dinner."
Aragorn winced, "They did something..."
They quickly made their way to their rooms, Sardyn slightly confused as to why they were so nervous about what a couple of elves could do to their rooms.
Aragorn paused at the first room, which was Sardyn's, since it wasn't a permanent room as Legolas' was.
He shoved the door opened and jumped to the side with a wince, expecting something to fall on him. Nothing happened and he sighed in relief.
Legolas sighed, "Where else do they usually hit..."
"Check the closet, I'll check the sheets," he muttered.
The archer opened the closet and started going through the other's clothes.
Sardyn blinked in confusion, and amusement, -What are they expecting these elves to do?-
Aragorn groaned, "Found it," he muttered flatly and pulled the sheets off the bed.
"What are you doing?" Sardyn blinked.
"Look," Aragorn pointed to the sheets carefully.
The elf knelt next to the man, "What am I looking for?"
"This," he rubbed some white powder off the sheets, he quickly stopped the elf when he went to see for himself, "I wouldn't touch this if I were you," he muttered, "It'll cause serious itching," he snickered slightly, "and sneezing that never seems to stop if it gets into your nose."
Legolas blinked, "I've never heard of this stuff."
"Of course not," Aragorn muttered, "those two managed to find a small pond on the bounderies of Rivendell where it grows, ada thinks it's unique," he glanced at the two in amusement, "he's quite glad of that fact obviously."
"I wouldn't doubt it," Sardyn muttered, "but why are you touching it then?" he added suddenly.
"It's doesn't affect men," he grinned, "the first time they tried it on me they were quite dissapointed."
Legolas laughed, though nervously, "Can you get rid of those then?"
"Oh I'll do one better," he grinned wickedly and dragged the sheets towards his brothers' rooms.
In about fifteen minutes he was back, "It is done."
Legolas laughed, "This should be good."
"Indeed, we'll go check your room now, if they didn't even show mercy to Sar, we're in for it big this time."
Legolas winced.
They did the same thing with the door as before, though this time Sardyn understood and followed them carefully.
The two even checked the floor. Aragorn checked the bed quickly but it was fine. Legolas quickly checked his closet. Sardyn just stood near the door, unsure of what to look for.

Aragorn woke up with a jolt in confusion, not knowing what had woken him up until he heard the angered yells of his brothers.
He smirked and pulled himself out of bed and glanced out his door, "Elladan? Elrohir? What are you two doing? It's still early and some people here are tired... very tired."
"Meaning you," Elrohir grumbled, shifting uncomfortably.
"You seem uncomfortable 'Ro," he crossed his arms.
"I know you did this Estel," Elladan muttered.
"Well, you deserved it, that was a nasty thing to try to pull before his trial."
"We knew you knew how to heal it, and that he'd be fine by then."
"Well good for you, that doesn't explain the poison ivy in my formal clothing."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You're both terrible liars... and intending to dye Legolas' hair? That's my territory you annoying elves," he joked.
They just smiled.
"Besides," he said slowly, a smirk growing on his face, "if you really wanted some interesting colours you should have asked me! Just not until after the trial."
"What are you saying?" Elrohir blinked in surprise, "You're not fighting back?"
"I'm thinking we'll go in a different direction this time," he laughed quietly, "I'll team up with you two this time, besides, I have to admit, I've never been able to get Glorfindel... and I know you haven't either so drop the look... and I'd like to try."
The two glanced at each other.
Aragorn shrugged, "Besides, Sar needs to learn the way things are around here eventually! Legolas is simply fun to bother. It'll be like old times," he joked.
"Old?" they raised their eyebrows simultaneously.
"For me..."
"Indeed," Elladan laughed slightly, still shifting uneasily, "I believe you were only sixteen last time we teamed up. But what's in this for us?" he asked suddenly, grinning.
"I'll get rid of the itch."
"You have a deal," they muttered in unison.
Aragorn laughed slightly, "Come on then, let's get this over with so I can go back to bed," he glanced out the window at the dark sky, "and please be quiet, I'm surprised no one else came out to find out what was going on."
"As am I," Elrohir muttered.
The three of them snuck into their father's healing cabinet and Aragorn pulled out a couple different herbs and quickly mashed them up and mixed them together.
"There," he muttered handing them the small bowl, "can I go back to bed now?"
They rolled their eyes, "Yes."
"Thank you," he muttered and quickly headed back to his room.
"Estel?" they said suddenly.
He turned back to them and sighed slightly, "Yes?"
"It's good to have you home brother," they smiled at him.
Aragorn blinked slightly and smiled, walking back to them, "It is good to be home," he laughed and hugged them both before heading to his room again.
They smiled at his retreating back before heading to their own rooms, swiftly catching up with him, where they would change their sheets and clean up.

Aragorn was woken up in the morning by the twins, who surprisingly didn't do it by dumping a bucket of water on his head.
He was down for breakfast in only a few minutes. Legolas was down there to join the private breakfast as usual, and Sardyn had been invited down as well. Glorfindel and Erestor, who accompanied them sometimes, had done so this morning, if only to reasure the nervous elf who was awaiting the trial that would come after breakfast. Nathil had also joined them.
Elladan glanced up from the table when the human came through the door and grinned, "About time you joined us."
Aragorn rolled his eyes, "Would you rather I came down in my pajamas?" he asked sarcastically.
Legolas sighed, "And it begins."
